Value for money
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.
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
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.
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: 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.
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. Hosted records mean fewer changes at your DNS host, but there's a lot to set up, and much of it is aimed at MSPs running many clients.
CNo store rating on record. You publish DNS records and read reports, and a managed implementation is on offer.

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.
