How we grade them
| 2.2GPAdmarcianFair | 1.8GPAPowerDMARCWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BBasic is $19.99 a month billed yearly ($24 monthly) for 2 domains and 100,000 messages. That's the cheapest DMARC price among its listed rivals: EasyDMARC charges $35.99 for the same 2 domains and 100,000 emails, and GlockApps' Essential is $59. | 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 | CA free Personal plan, but only for non-business domains, and it's audited. Businesses get a 30-day trial with no card instead, longer than most trials here. | 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 | 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. | CIt does the DMARC job fully, and then some: 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 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. | CNo App Store rating on record. Hosted records save trips to your DNS host, but there's a lot here, and much of the setup is aimed at MSPs running many clients. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no integrations on record; API access and single sign-on come only with Enterprise, at $499 a month billed yearly. | 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 | DMARC for a couple of domains on a budget | MSPs running DMARC for many clients |

Who each one suits
dmarcian

Worth knowing
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.
PowerDMARC
- The website turned our reader away with a bot check and the help center lists no prices, so what it costs could not be confirmed.
- Older help articles mention a free DMARC trial; its current terms could not be read.
- PowerDMARC does not verify lists or warm up inboxes.
