Why PNTR for AI-managed DNS

is-a.dev

Provides free DNS-record provisioning through a GitHub PR review queue, but no MCP, email, or request-capture tools. PNTR exposes all of those through a hosted MCP server and CLI, with instant provisioning.

PNTR plans

The free tier with GitHub sign-in includes three subdomains and 10 records each; Premium is $5/month for 15 subdomains, wildcard DNS, capture on every subdomain, and 90-day retention.
