ManageCert vs TrackSSL
TrackSSL is a narrowly-focused SSL expiry + chain monitor. ManageCert covers the same SSL signals — expiry, chain validity, hostname match, CT log — and adds domain WHOIS + DNS change detection in the same tool. At Pro tier ($39/mo, 50 domains), per-domain cost is lower than TrackSSL's $17/mo for 20.
Why ManageCert for TrackSSL
Three signal types, not just one
TrackSSL is SSL-only. We add daily WHOIS (catches lapsed domains 60 days out) and DNS change detection (catches silent edits same day).
Cheaper per domain at scale
Pro tier $39/mo for 50 domains = $0.78/domain. TrackSSL $17/mo for 20 = $0.85/domain — and we cover more.
AI alert explanations + Discord
Every alert includes a one-line plain-English explanation. TrackSSL sends raw 'cert expires soon' messages.
