Which one is for you
Pick DMARC Digests if
- Fits if you run one or two small domains and want a weekly summary
- Works for people who only need to see who sends mail as them
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, with 10 sources, 7 days of history and no dashboard
- Pricey if you manage several domains, as $14 a month is charged for each one
- Skip it if you want alerts or SPF tools, since none are listed
- Watch out: the site says it has been acquired by ActiveCampaign, so plans may change
Pick dmarcian if
- Fits if you need DMARC on two business domains at $19.99 a month billed yearly
- Works for a personal, non-business domain, which the free plan covers
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you outgrow 2 domains or 1 user, as Plus jumps to $199 a month billed yearly
- Skip it if you want an API, single sign-on or Domain Discovery, which wait for Enterprise at $499 a month
- Not for you if you need list cleaning, warm-up or placement tests
- Watch out: the free plan is for non-business domains only, and an audit that finds a business domain ends the account
- Watch out: prices exclude tax, no integrations are on record, and Basic keeps only 3 months of history
How we grade them
| 2.0GPADMARC DigestsFair | 2.2GPAdmarcianFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPremium is $14 a month per domain, between the $10 cheaper quarter and the $17.99 middle for the category. It rises with every domain you add. | BBasic is $19.99 a month billed yearly ($24 monthly) for 2 domains and 100,000 messages. That's the lowest DMARC price among its listed rivals: EasyDMARC charges $35.99 for the same 2 domains and 100,000 emails, and GlockApps' Essential is $59. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree covers the top 10 mail sources with 5 IPs each, 7 days of history and weekly emails only, with no dashboard or team. The paid plan has a 14-day trial. | CA free Personal plan, but only for non-business domains, and it's audited. Businesses get a 30-day trial with no card instead. |
| Features | CMail-source lists, report history, digests and, on paid, a dashboard and team accounts. No SPF flattening or alerts are listed. | CIt does the DMARC job fully: reports that name each sending service, SPF, DKIM and BIMI tools, and alerts and forensic reports on paid plans. That's a smaller job, though: no list cleaning, warm-up or placement tests. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You publish DMARC records and read reports, so it needs some DNS work. | CNo App Store rating on record. You add a DNS record before reports arrive, and getting a domain to a reject policy takes some reading, though deployment help is on offer. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb and email digests. No apps and no integrations are listed. | CWeb only, with no integrations on record; API access and single sign-on come only with Enterprise, at $499 a month billed yearly. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
