Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 4 of the 15 other email verification and deliverability tools we grade
dmarcian does the DMARC job: it processes the reports mailbox providers send about your domains, identifies each service sending as you and whether it can pass, and helps move domains to an enforced policy. SPF, DKIM and BIMI tools come with it. It does not clean lists, warm up inboxes or test placement. Plans are priced by active domains and DMARC-capable messages a month, with a free plan for personal domains.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about dmarcian, taken from its own pages and our grades.
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.

Best for DMARC for a couple of domains on a budget
dmarcian turns DMARC reports into a clear list of who's sending as your domain, and it was founded by one of the main authors of the DMARC spec.

The report card
Best for DMARC for a couple of domains on a budget
dmarcian turns DMARC reports into a clear list of who's sending as your domain, and it was founded by one of the main authors of the DMARC spec. Basic is $19.99 a month billed yearly for 2 domains, the cheapest DMARC price on record here. It only does DMARC, and the API waits for Enterprise at $499.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Basic is $19.99 a month billed yearly ($24 monthly) for 2 domains and 100,000 messages. That's the cheapest DMARC price among its listed rivals: EasyDMARC charges $35.99 for the same 2 domains and 100,000 emails, and GlockApps' Essential is $59. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free Personal plan, but only for non-business domains, and it's audited. Businesses get a 30-day trial with no card instead, longer than most trials here. |
| Features | C | It 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. |
| Ease of use | C | No 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations on record; API access and single sign-on come only with Enterprise, at $499 a month billed yearly. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who dmarcian is for
- Great if you want DMARC on two business domains for the least money
- Handy when you need to see every service sending as your domain
- Good for a personal, non-business domain, which it covers free
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you outgrow 2 domains, as Plus is $199 a month billed yearly
- Skip it if you want an API, which waits for Enterprise
- Not for you if you need list cleaning, warm-up or placement tests
Good to know
Good for
- Organizations taking several sending domains to a reject policy
- IT teams that want to see every service sending as their domain
- Individuals protecting a personal domain at no cost
Worth knowing
- 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.
