Common questions
- Is it really free to start?
- Yes — monitor up to 5 domains free, forever, with no card. Paid plans start small and grow only as you take on more sites.
- Can I keep client sites organized?
- Yes. Group and label sites by client so your list stays tidy as you add more work.
- Does it cover domain renewals too?
- Yes. It watches both the SSL certificate and the domain-name registration for every site, so nothing lapses on your watch.
- Do I need to be technical?
- No. Status is in plain English — "secure", "expiring in 9 days", "not secure" — with what to do, never certificate jargon.
- Do I have to install anything?
- No. SSLCanary checks each site from the outside — nothing to install on your or your clients' servers.
