dmarcian vs EasyDMARC
dmarcian was founded by a co-author of the DMARC specification and stays deliberately reporting-first. EasyDMARC sells the opposite promise: managed hosting and guided setup so you touch DNS as little as possible.
Comparison last verified July 20, 2026. Pricing sourced directly from dmarcian and EasyDMARC.
The short answer
dmarcian Basic costs $24/mo ($19.99 billed annually) for 2 active domains and meters only legitimate, DMARC-capable mail — forwarded and fraudulent volume never counts. But it hosts nothing: DNS changes stay manual, and BIMI, hosted MTA-STS, ARC, and DANE aren't productized. EasyDMARC Plus costs $44.99/mo ($35.99 annually) for 2 domains with managed DMARC and BIMI hosting on every tier and the category's most-praised onboarding (G2 4.8 vs dmarcian's 3.5 from 5 reviews). Choose dmarcian for reporting depth and manual control; choose EasyDMARC for guided, hosted setup.

Strengths and Trade-offs
dmarcian
Where it shines
- Founded by Tim Draegen, co-author of the DMARC specification; reviewers cite the mission-driven credibility
- Meters only DMARC-capable legitimate traffic, so forwarded and fraudulent volume never counts against your plan
- TLS-RPT ingestion included on every tier, including the free Personal plan
- 30-day free trial on all paid tiers with no credit card, and published prices unchanged for at least 18 months
- Reporting depth and sender-source grouping praised as more detailed than other solutions
Trade-offs
- 10x price jump from Basic ($24/mo) to Plus ($240/mo) with no tier between 2 and 8 active domains
- REST API, SAML SSO, and Domain Discovery are Enterprise-only ($499/mo billed annually)
- No BIMI, hosted MTA-STS, ARC, or DANE productization at any tier; SPF flattening explicitly declined
- Reporting-only platform: no hosted records or auto-deploy, so DNS changes stay manual
- Exceeding plan volume for two consecutive months triggers an automatic upgrade to a higher tier (per the August 2024 Terms of Service)
Best for: Practitioners who want deep DMARC aggregate-report visibility from the spec co-author's team and prefer to keep full manual control of their own DNS records.
EasyDMARC
Where it shines
- Consistently praised for ease of use: setup and DNS integration need no deep DMARC expertise (top G2 praise theme, 22 mentions)
- Responsive, helpful support team (20 G2 customer-support mentions)
- Managed DMARC and Managed BIMI record hosting included on every tier, including Free
- Deep MSP stack: white-label reporting plus ConnectWise, HaloPSA, Autotask, Syncro, Acronis, and Gradient integrations
- Direct DNS integrations with 10 providers including Cloudflare, Route 53, and OVHcloud (Enterprise and MSP plans)
Trade-offs
- Free tier was reduced around 2024 from 10,000 emails/mo across unlimited domains to 1,000 emails/mo on 1 domain with 14-day history (per third-party writeups; EasyDMARC published no announcement)
- No ARC or DANE support at any tier
- EasySPF flattening, managed MTA-STS, and parsed TLS reports all require Premium ($71.99/mo annual)
- API, SSO, and audit logs are Enterprise-only
- Exceeding plan email volume locks dashboard access until you upgrade; reviewers also report upsell pressure
Best for: Small-to-mid-market teams and MSPs who want guided setup, managed record hosting, and white-label PSA integrations without needing in-house DMARC expertise.
Where DMARCguard Fits
DMARCguard is our product — treat this section as our pitch, and check every number above against both vendors' own pricing pages.
dmarcian gives you deep reports and leaves DNS to you; EasyDMARC hosts records but gates TLS-RPT and MTA-STS behind its $89.99/mo Premium. DMARCguard does both jobs at one published price: hosted guidance with per-record remediation steps, all 9 protocols on Pro including ARC and DANE, 2 domains free with 30 days of history, and $3.9/domain/mo for founding members after that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is dmarcian or EasyDMARC better for beginners?
EasyDMARC, by the evidence: guided setup is its top G2 praise theme (22 mentions), and managed DMARC/BIMI records ship on every tier. dmarcian assumes you are comfortable editing DNS yourself — its tools inspect and report, they don't deploy. Reviewers reward dmarcian for depth, not hand-holding.
How does dmarcian's pricing model differ from EasyDMARC's?
dmarcian meters only DMARC-capable legitimate traffic, so spoofed or forwarded mail never pushes you up a tier; plans run $24–$600/mo ($19.99–$499 billed annually). EasyDMARC meters total volume from 100,000 emails/month and prices $44.99–$89.99/mo published, with Enterprise and MSP quote-only. dmarcian's catch: two consecutive months over your limit triggers an automatic upgrade.
Which free tier is better?
dmarcian's free Personal plan allows 2 domains and 1,250 DMARC-capable messages/month with 1 month of history, restricted to non-business use. EasyDMARC's free tier allows 1 domain, 1,000 emails/month, and 14 days of history. Both are trial-sized; dmarcian also offers a 30-day no-card trial on paid tiers.
Do dmarcian or EasyDMARC support MTA-STS, ARC, or DANE?
dmarcian: no hosted MTA-STS (inspector tool only), no ARC, no DANE — TLS-RPT is included on every tier. EasyDMARC: managed MTA-STS and parsed TLS reports from Premium ($89.99/mo), no ARC, no DANE at any tier.
