|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | 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 | C14-day trial with no card. There is no free plan. | CMonitor is free with sign-up and shows senders. Enforcing DMARC, the job most people want done, is the quoted Enforce plan. |

| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. DNS changes and report reading take some setting up, although automation is the pitch. | CNo store rating on record. You connect domains and DNS records and read sender lists, so there is setup. |

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.
