dmarcian vs DMARC Report (2026): which should you pick?

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

Pick DMARC Report if

• Fits if you have a single domain and want free DMARC reports
• Works for small agencies that want an API and managed compliance

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you have more than 1 domain, as free stops there
• Pricey if you want failure reports, which start at Guard at $25 a month
• Pricey if you want MTA-STS or the API, both from Shield at $75 a month
• Watch out: the FAQ says paid plans have unlimited domains, but the plan cards cap them at 5, 10 and 25
• Watch out: Ultimate is a one-time $3,900

dmarcian

• The free Personal plan is for non-business domains only; business domains found in an audit make the account expire.
• API access, single sign-on and Domain Discovery are Enterprise only.
• Basic covers just 2 active domains; more domains or volume need a higher tier or a custom quote.
• Prices exclude tax, and the tool does not verify lists, warm up inboxes or test placement.

DMARC Report

• Failure reports and email vendor ID need Guard or higher; MTA-STS, TLS-RPT and the API need Shield.
• Ultimate is listed at $3,900 as a one-time price.
• The pricing FAQ says all paid plans have unlimited domains, but the plan cards and comparison table cap Guard at 5, Shield at 10 and Defender at 25.
• SSO/SAML, custom SLAs and PO billing are only on Defender and Ultimate.
