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 PowerDMARC if
- Fits if you're an MSP managing DMARC for many client domains
- Works for security teams that want DMARC data in Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk or Elastic
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want a price before talking to anyone, as none is on record
- Watch out: no free plan or trial is on record; older help articles mention a free trial whose terms couldn't be read
- Skip it if you need list cleaning or warm-up, which it doesn't do
- Tight if you run one small domain, as much of the setup is aimed at MSPs running many clients
How we grade them
| 2.0GPADMARC DigestsFair | 1.8GPAPowerDMARCWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CNo price on record: PowerDMARC's site turned our reader away and its help centre lists none, so there's nothing to set against dmarcian's $19.99 or EasyDMARC's $35.99 a month. No published price is a C by our rule. |
| 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. | FNo free plan or trial on record. Older help articles mention a free DMARC trial, but its current terms couldn't be read, so we can't count it. |
| 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: aggregate and forensic reports, hosted DMARC, SPF, DKIM, BIMI, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT, alerts, threat intelligence and a placement analyzer. No list cleaning or warm-up, though. |
| 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. Hosted records mean fewer changes at your DNS host, but there's a lot to set up, and much of it is aimed at MSPs running many clients. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb and email digests. No apps and no integrations are listed. | BWeb, with an API, an MCP server, single sign-on, feeds to Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk and Elastic, and ConnectWise, Autotask, HaloPSA and WHMCS. No phone or desktop app. |
| Best for | weekly DMARC reports for small domains | MSPs running DMARC for many clients |

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.
