Name one that doesn’t have an AWS-style per-query cost.

(There might well be a nice one, but I haven’t found it yet.)

If it's for a business, I would contact them to see if they have a commercial offering, but I think the Hurricane Electric Free DNS might actually fit.

    Interestingly, HE’s commercial offerings are in some respects excellent, but their login system is every bit as primitive as the free stuff.

Might be obvious, but Cloudflare

    No. Cloudflare will give a key scoped to an entire administrative domain in the Cloudflare sense like “a.com”. They will not give you a key scoped to a single entry within that domain. (That entry would be a domain in the RFC 9499 sense, but do you really expect anyone to agree on the terminology?)

    In particular, there is no support for getting a key scoped to _acme-challenge.a.b.c or, even better, to a particular RR.

    Maybe if you have an enterprise plan you can very awkwardly fudge it using lots of CNAMEs and subdomains.

    Some DNS hosts that support old-school dynamic dns can do this. dns.he.net is an example, but they have a login system that very much stuck in the nineties.

    Cloudflare DNS isn't fully functional (at least for me). Can't be used for general purpose DNS hosting imho.
