How we grade them
| 1.8GPAPowerDMARCWeak | 2.4GPAValimailFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CMonitor is free, and Enforce and Amplify are by quote, so the price cannot be set against the category's $17.99 middle. The page says cost depends on domains and products. |
| 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. | CMonitor is free with sign-up and shows senders. Enforcing DMARC, the job most people want done, is the quoted Enforce plan. |
| 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. | BSender visibility, a path to enforcement and BIMI logos through Amplify. Amplify only works alongside Enforce. |
| 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 connect domains and DNS records and read sender lists, so there is setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | BWeb, with Microsoft, Cloudflare, Sublime and Abnormal listed as partners. No apps. |
| Best for | MSPs running DMARC for many clients | DMARC visibility, then enforcement |

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.
