How we grade them
| 2.2GPAdmarcianFair | 2.2GPASendmarcFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CNo paid price is published. Premium, the compliance service and Enterprise are all quotes, so the cost cannot be set against the $17.99 middle of the category. |
| 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. | CThe free trial tier covers 1 domain, 5k emails a month, 21 days of history and 1 portal user. The page does not say how long it lasts. |
| 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. | BDMARC, SPF, DKIM and BIMI management, aggregate and forensic reports and MTA-STS. Forensic reports, SSO and audit logs are not in the free tier. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record.

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.
