Questions answered.

What does a Beat scan check?

All 41 checks in one pass: SPF (including its real DNS lookup count), DKIM on every selector we can resolve, DMARC and how strong its policy actually is, MX, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, BIMI and PTR. A blacklist pass then covers 25 lists on your domain and its resolved sending IPs. The free instant scan reads six of those records: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT.

Do I need an account to use the tools?

No. All 48 tools run without an account, an email address, or a card. They use the same engine as Beat, the paid monitoring, so the answers do not differ.

What is the difference between the free tools and monitoring?

A tool answers the question once. Monitoring keeps asking on a schedule, notices when the answer changes, and tells you, with the fix attached. Most deliverability incidents start between manual checks.

How is billing handled?

Beat is billed monthly or yearly: choose a plan on the pricing page and its button opens Beat’s sign-up with that plan and period. You can move between plans or cancel at any time. The free tools stay free.

Where do I sign in?

Beat has its own sign-in, at beatdemo.mailvitals.com. The sign-in on this site is for the Academy and saves your lesson progress: it is a separate account. The header’s “Sign in” menu offers both.

Does my data train AI models?

No. Your data is never used to train models. Scout reads your own account data to answer your own questions, and nothing else.

Can I get a human?

Yes. Deliverability consulting is available at a flat hourly rate with a scoped proposal within 24 hours.
