Which one is for you

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 Skysnag if

  • Fits if you have one or two domains and want records managed for you
  • Works for brands chasing a BIMI logo, if they hold a registered trademark

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a fixed price, as both listed figures are 'from' and follow email volume
  • Pricey if you need enforcement, which starts at Protect, $249 a month
  • Tight if you have more than 2 domains, since each plan includes only 2
  • Watch out: the BIMI blue checkmark needs a registered trademark and is billed annually as an add-on
  • Watch out: email validation is a separate pay-as-you-go product

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.
CComply is from $39 a month, which is between the category's middle ($23) and its dearer quarter ($49). The page does not show the billing basis.
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.
C14-day trial with no card. There is no free plan.
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.
CHosted protocols, enforcement, blocklist monitoring and BIMI. Email validation is a separate credit product.
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.

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.

Skysnag

  • Both listed prices are 'From' figures; the page also says pricing follows the volume of legitimate email reported.
  • Plans include 2 domains, and adding more is done through the dashboard or by contacting accounts.
  • The BIMI blue checkmark needs a registered trademark, and the vendor bills it annually as an add-on.
  • Email validation is a separate pay-as-you-go credit product, not part of the plans.

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.
