dmarcian vs DMARCTrust (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 DMARCTrust if

• Fits if you run a few domains with lots of mail and want a price that ignores volume
• Works for small teams, as paid plans have no per-seat fee

Look elsewhere if

• Too light for monitoring on Free, with 7 days of data and no DNS change alerts
• Tight if you have many domains, since extras are $10 a month each
• Watch out: Starter includes 2 invited teammates and Pro includes 5
• Watch out: your data region, US or EU, is chosen at registration

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.

DMARCTrust

• The Free plan covers 1 domain, 50 reports a month and 7 days of data, with no failure reports or DNS change alerts.
• Extra domains beyond the included 2 or 5 cost $10 a month each ($120 a year).
• Starter includes 2 teammate invites and Pro includes 5; the page says paid plans have no per-seat fee.
• The data region is chosen at registration: US or EU.
