Free Blacklist Monitoring

Monitor one IP address or domain against hundreds of blacklists and reputation data sources, free indefinitely. Real-time alerts the moment a listing appears. No credit card, no time limit.

Most teams discover a blacklist listing the way you would never want to: customers stop receiving email, an ISP forwards a spam complaint, or a deliverability dashboard turns red. By the time the news arrives, the damage is hours old.

A one-shot blacklist check tells you what your reputation looks like right now. Continuous monitoring tells you the moment that changes. The free Generator Labs plan exists because the gap between "right now" and "the moment that changes" is where most deliverability outages live, and it should not require a paid subscription to close.

What's Included on the Free Plan

Same monitoring engine as paid plans. Scoped to one host.

One Host, Monitored Continuously

Pick an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) or a domain. We check it against hundreds of blacklists and reputation systems on a regular cadence and alert you the moment anything changes.

Full Data-Source Coverage

No gated tiers on the free plan: Spamhaus, Barracuda, SORBS, SURBL, threat-intelligence feeds, Microsoft SNDS, PhishTank, and more. The full list of monitored sources is public.

Real-Time Alerts

Email alerts the moment a listing appears or clears. Includes the source that flagged you, why, and the documented removal process when available.

Full Check History

Every check is recorded. Browse the history to spot patterns, share a public report URL with an ISP or customer, and verify your reputation timeline.

Full REST API Access

The same REST API used on paid plans, with PHP, Node.js, and Python SDKs. Add hosts during deployment, query check history, automate response.

No Credit Card

No card on file, no automatic conversion to paid, no expiry on the free plan. Upgrade later if you need more hosts; otherwise stay on free indefinitely.

Free Continuous Monitoring vs. One-Shot Checks

Free Plan FAQ

Is the free plan really free, or a trial?

It is permanently free. Monitor one host (an IP address or a domain) indefinitely against the full set of data sources, with real-time alerts. No credit card required, no time limit, no auto-conversion to a paid plan.

What is included on the free plan?

One host monitored continuously against hundreds of blacklists and reputation data sources, real-time alerts via email, full check history, and access to the public report URL. Same monitoring engine used by paid plans, just scoped to one host.

How is the free plan different from a one-shot blacklist check?

A one-shot check tells you whether your IP is listed right now. The free plan tells you within minutes when that changes. Listings can happen at any time, and most outages caused by blacklisting are not noticed until customer complaints arrive.

Can I upgrade later without losing data?

Yes. Upgrade to a paid plan (Starter, Pro, or pay-per-check Ultimate) at any time and your existing host, history, and alert settings carry over. No data is lost in either direction if you downgrade.

Are there hidden limits on the free plan?

No. The check frequency, alert latency, and source coverage are the same as paid plans. The only limit is the host count: one host on the free plan, more on paid plans.
