Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 8 of the 61 other email verification and deliverability tools we grade
Fraudmarc sells email authentication tools: Universal SPF and SPF Compression keep records under the 10-lookup limit, and a DMARC platform analyzes aggregate and forensic reports. A done-for-you service called Outbox Protection walks teams to strict enforcement. A self-hosted community edition of the DMARC analyzer is on GitHub.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Fraudmarc, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You edit DNS records and wait for reports to build up.
- 1
Best for SPF flattening for domains that hit the lookup limit
SPF and DMARC are separate subscriptions, most are priced per domain, and the full-service enforcement plan has no published price.
- 2
Paid plans start at $21 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $21 per domain / month, billed annually.
- 3

- 5
SPF flattening
Universal SPF is pasted in front of your other SPF terms and flattens vendor records to stay under the 10 DNS lookup limit.
- 6
SPF Compression
A management panel imports existing policies, shows lookups used out of 10 and flags vendors that stopped sending.
- 7
DMARC report analysis
Aggregate and forensic reports are analyzed, with history of 30 days, 90 days or a year depending on the tier.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 8 of 61

The report card
Best for SPF flattening for domains that hit the lookup limit
Fraudmarc flattens SPF records and reads DMARC reports, with a 7-day trial on Universal SPF. SPF and DMARC are separate subscriptions, most are priced per domain, and the full-service enforcement plan has no published price.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $21 per domain a month billed annually, which is in the middle of the category. Each extra domain is another $21. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 7-day trial on Universal SPF, cancel anytime, and the page does not mention a card. No free plan. |
| Features | C | SPF flattening, SPF Compression, DMARC report analysis and SenderTrace. Each is priced on its own. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You edit DNS records and wait for reports to build up. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations listed. Free checkers and an open-source analyzer are on the site. |
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 Fraudmarc is for
- Fits if your SPF record breaks the 10-lookup limit
- Works for people with a handful of domains who want flattening and reports
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you run many domains, since SPF and DMARC are priced per domain
- Skip it if you want one plan for everything, as SPF and DMARC are two subscriptions
- Tight if you need the 30-day DMARC history stretched, as 90 days needs DMARC Advanced
- Watch out: Universal SPF Pro is $105 per domain a month
- Watch out: Outbox Protection has no published price
Good to know
Good for
- Domains hitting SPF PermError from too many DNS lookups
- Teams that want DMARC data they can act on
- Organizations wanting a vendor to run enforcement for them
Worth knowing
- Each product is priced separately, so SPF flattening and DMARC reporting are two subscriptions.
- Universal SPF and DMARC Standard are priced per domain, so costs grow with the domain count.
- DMARC Advanced and SenderTrace are priced per user, which the page does not define further.
- Outbox Protection has no published price.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Fraudmarc you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 39 of the 61 other email verification and deliverability tools grade higher. It costs $252 a year. Fraudmarc is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Reading the reports inbox providers send about your domain.
What this rests on. Fraudmarc’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
