|---|---|---|
| Total cost of ownership (typical stack) | One subscription covers server operations, Git-driven deploys with health gating and rollback where your tier allows, uptime-style checks, and Brain-led remediation — see Pricing for current tiers. | Teams often pay for a server panel, separate deploy automation, monitoring/alerting, and ad-hoc incident tooling — each with its own renewal, integration work, and on-call runbook. |
| Fleet scope | One dashboard for many WHM connections and hundreds of accounts | Per-server WHM login — no cross-server rollup for resellers |
| Email deliverability | SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX per account with copy-paste fixes and auto-repair paths | Manual DNS lookups; no fleet-wide drift detection |
| Reseller mode | Works with WHM reseller tokens — no root required for read-only fleet checks | Resellers see only their accounts inside each WHM session |
| IP reputation | Blacklist polling per server IP with delisting links in Email health | Operators discover listings from customer tickets |
| When native WHM fits | — | Single-server owners who live inside WHM daily |
| When Reflex fits | Resellers and multi-server hosts who need one pane of glass and client-ready reports | — |
