Feature parity 92%

This free tier is a genuinely usable small-account plan: it includes the same core DNS features as the paid tiers, plus unlimited monthly queries, but it caps usage at 3 domains and 30 records and keeps the 5-minute minimum TTL. The cheapest paid plan is Basic at $29/year ($2.42/month), so the free tier is worth about the same as that lowest paid tier on a practical basis, though the paid plans add higher quotas and vanity name servers.
