## Ways to pay less

- **About 17% off with annual billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page shows annual rates ($275, $750, $2,000 a year for Guard, Shield and Defender) and says annual billing saves about 17%. Source: https://dmarcreport.com/pricing

## Key features

- **Report parsing:** Aggregate reports on every plan, plus failure reports from Guard up, rendered as readable reports instead of raw XML.
- **MTA-STS and TLS-RPT:** Available from the Shield plan.
- **API and MCP access:** Shield and Defender list an API and MCP access, and the site announces AI-powered DMARC analysis.
- **Parked-domain protection:** Shield and above include parked domains, and the site has a Parked DMARC feature for non-sending domains.
- **Managed compliance:** The Ultimate plan adds enforcement work done by a dedicated DMARC engineer, with a stated guarantee of p=quarantine at 100% within 90 days.
- **Free checkers and generators:** DMARC, SPF, DKIM and BIMI checkers and record generators, plus an email header analyzer, are free with no signup.

## Good for

- A single domain that needs free DMARC report reading
- Small teams that want a flat monthly price per tier
- Companies that want enforcement done for them (Ultimate)

## Worth knowing

- Failure reports and email vendor ID need Guard or higher; MTA-STS, TLS-RPT and the API need Shield.
- Ultimate is listed at $3,900 as a one-time price.
- The pricing FAQ says all paid plans have unlimited domains, but the plan cards and comparison table cap Guard at 5, Shield at 10 and Defender at 25.
- SSO/SAML, custom SLAs and PO billing are only on Defender and Ultimate.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. DMARC Report parses DMARC reports and has a free Core plan for 1 domain, 10,000 messages a month and 30 days of history. Beyond that, failure reports start at $25 a month, MTA-STS and the API need $75, and the page contradicts itself about how many domains paid plans allow.

- **Value for money: B.** Core is free for 1 domain. The first paid step, Guard, is $25 a month for 5 domains, above the $17.99 middle for the category, and Defender is $200.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** Free covers 1 domain, 10,000 monthly messages and 30 days of history, with no card. Paid plans have a 30-day trial with no card.
- **Features: C.** Report parsing plus, on higher plans, failure reports, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, an API and MCP access. Failure reports need Guard and the API needs Shield.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You publish DMARC records and read reports, which takes some DNS work.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with an API on Shield and above. No integrations or apps are listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of DMARC Report you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $300 a year.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Reading the reports inbox providers send about your domain.
- You could not: An API that other software can build on.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
