Connect DomainComparison
The open-source Entri alternative
Entri turned custom-domain onboarding into a closed, per-domain SaaS. Connect Domain does the same job — automatic DNS, automatic SSL, and a reverse-proxy edge — and is open source and self-hostable, so your customers’ DNS credentials never leave infrastructure you control.
| Connect Domain | Entri | |
|---|---|---|
| License | Open source, self-hostable | Closed SaaS |
| Pricing | Free to self-host | From $249/mo |
| Where customer data lives | Your own infrastructure | Entri's infrastructure |
| DNS auto-configuration | 19 providers + Domain Connect | 50+ providers |
| One-click provider consent | Domain Connect (open standard) | Proprietary |
| Automatic HTTPS | Yes — edge, Let's Encrypt | Yes |
| Reverse-proxy hosting | Yes | Yes (Power) |
| Manual copy-paste fallback | Yes | Yes |
| Webhooks | Yes | Yes |
| REST API | Yes | Yes |
| Run it yourself | Yes — Docker or your own cloud | No |
Provider counts and Entri pricing are based on publicly published information and may change. Connect Domain implements 19 auto-write providers today plus the Domain Connect open standard; the roadmap is public.
Where Connect Domain is different
Open source. Read the code, run it, change it. There is no black box between your users and their domains.
Self-hostable. Run the control-plane and edge on your own cloud. Customer DNS credentials are sealed at rest and never leave your infrastructure.
No per-domain tax. Free to self-host. Connect one domain or a million — the software is the same.
Built on the open standard. One-click setup uses signed Domain Connect, the open protocol, rather than a proprietary flow.
