DMARCguard vs DMARCLY

DMARCLY publishes flat, genuinely low prices — $17.99/mo entry and a 200-domain Enterprise tier at a flat $199/mo. The trade-offs sit elsewhere: 2 months of history on the entry tier, no free plan, email-only alerting, and an API locked to the top tier. DMARCguard pairs a published per-domain price with 1 year of history on Pro.

History That Covers a Rollout

DMARCLY's entry tier keeps 2 months of data and Growth keeps 4 — shorter than most p=reject rollouts and audit windows. DMARCguard Pro keeps 1 year of history on every domain.

Alerts Beyond the Inbox

DMARCLY alerting is email-only, with no webhooks, and its Enterprise-tier API is pull-only. DMARCguard sends email, Slack, and webhook alerts on Pro, with API access on every tier.

Classification Without the Manual Work

In a 90-day hands-on test by Suped (a competitor with its own DMARC product), unknown and forwarded senders on DMARCLY required manual backtracking across reports; Suped scored its MSP workflows 6.2/10 and alerting 6.4/10. DMARCguard identifies 170+ sending services automatically using CIDR and rDNS matching.

Feature Comparison

DMARCLY covers the core protocols at a genuinely low price. The gaps are in history, alerting, and what you must self-host.

Feature DMARCguard DMARCLY
DMARC Monitoring Auto-provisioned reporting mailboxes on every paid tier; no free tier
SPF Monitoring
DKIM Monitoring Record checks and pass/fail monitoring; no key hosting or rotation
SPF Flattening (Hosted SPF) Safe SPF; AutoSPF, a competing SPF vendor, notes DMARCLY's flattening re-scans on a schedule rather than every 15 minutes and lacks SPF macro support From Growth ($39.99/mo)
BIMI Support Generates and validates the record; the SVG logo and VMC are self-hosted Record only
MTA-STS Support You self-host the policy file and supply the TLS certificate Record only
TLS-RPT Support Hosted TLS report mailbox from Professional
ARC Chain Support Renders ARC results when local policy overrides the disposition; no dedicated chain analysis Partial
DANE/TLSA Support Public pages do not list DANE/TLSA
Forensic (RUF) Reports ARF-format rendering with optional PGP encryption
Alerting (Email + Webhook) Email only
API Access Pull-only on DMARCLY; SAML SSO and user access control are also Enterprise-only Every tier Enterprise only ($199/mo)

Published Pricing Flat tiers plus published overage: $1 per extra domain, $10 per extra 1M messages

Pricing Comparison

DMARCLY publishes every number, including overage — rare and commendable. The comparison is what each dollar buys in history, alerting, and access.

Tier DMARCguard DMARCLY
Free 2 domains, 30 days history, 7 protocols None — 14-day trial, no credit card
Entry $3.9/domain/mo — up to 10 domains, 1 year history (founding price) Professional $17.99/mo — 2 domains, 100K messages, 2-month history, 1 seat
Mid Per-domain pricing (rate drops from domain 11) Growth $39.99/mo — 8 domains, 4-month history; Business $69/mo — 15 domains, 6-month history
Scale Custom Enterprise $199/mo — 200 domains, 5M messages, 1-year history, API + SAML SSO

Why choose DMARCguard over DMARCLY?

History that outlasts the rollout

DMARCLY's entry tier retains 2 months of reports and even Business stops at 6 — while a typical path to p=reject, or a compliance audit, looks back further. DMARCguard Pro keeps 1 year of history on every domain, at the founding per-domain rate.

Automatic sender classification

Unknown and forwarded senders on DMARCLY “required manual backtracking across reports” in a 90-day hands-on test by competitor Suped, which scored its MSP workflows 6.2/10 and alerting 6.4/10. DMARCguard identifies 170+ services automatically from CIDR and rDNS data, so triage starts pre-sorted.

Alerts and API without the Enterprise gate

Email-only alerts and a pull-only API reserved for the $199/mo Enterprise tier mean no Slack pings and no push integrations below the top plan. DMARCguard includes email, Slack, and webhook alerts on Pro, and API access on every tier.

When DMARCLY is the better fit

A 200-domain portfolio of low-volume domains for a flat $199/mo — about $1/domain — sits far below the $25–$45/mo single-domain entry range pricing site dmarceye documents for popular DMARC tools, with overage math printed on the pricing page and prices unchanged since at least March 2024 per Internet Archive snapshots. If that is your shape and email-only alerting suffices, DMARCLY is a rational choice.

Who is each best for?

Who's best for DMARCLY?

Cost-focused teams and holding companies with large portfolios of low-volume domains: 200 domains for a flat $199/mo with published overage math, from a vendor selling since 2018. There is no third-party social proof to lean on — G2 and Capterra show no reviews — so evaluation rests on the 14-day trial. Its MSP client-switching dashboard works for agencies, though there is no white-label or reseller multi-tenant billing.

Who's best for DMARCguard?

Teams that need history to outlast the rollout (1 year on Pro versus 2 months on DMARCLY's entry tier), automatic identification of 170+ sending services, Slack and webhook alerting, API access on every tier, and DANE and MTA-STS monitoring without self-hosting policy files. Start on the free tier — 2 domains, 30 days of history — and pay the founding per-domain rate only when you grow.

Migrating from DMARCLY

DMARCLY auto-provisions hashed reporting mailboxes, so migration is a standard RUA repoint. Export first — CSV covers aggregate data only — and time your cancellation, because annual fees are non-refundable.

  1. Export your aggregate data as CSV

    DMARCLY's export covers aggregate report data only; there is no full-account bundle. Pull the CSVs for every domain and archive them before you change anything.

  2. Add your domains to DMARCguard

    Sign up free and add your domains. Keep DMARCLY active during the overlap — both platforms can receive the same reports.

  3. Append DMARCguard's RUA address

    Add our rua=mailto: address alongside DMARCLY's hashed ag.dmarcly.com mailbox in your DMARC record. Most receivers send aggregate reports on a daily cadence, so data typically starts arriving within a day or two.

  4. Validate parity for 14-30 days

    Compare sender identification and alignment. DMARCLY's manual classifications don't transfer; confirm DMARCguard's automatic identification covers your senders.

  5. Remove the DMARCLY address and Safe SPF include

    Point rua away from the hashed DMARCLY mailbox. If you used Safe SPF (Growth and up), replace the dynamic include with direct records — we provide the exact values.

  6. Cancel via chat or email ahead of renewal

    There is no self-serve cancel — DMARCLY's Terms of Service require contacting support. Annual fees are non-refundable and unused term is forfeited, so schedule the cancellation before your renewal date.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does DMARCLY cost?

DMARCLY publishes four flat tiers: Professional $17.99/mo (2 domains, 100K messages, 2-month history), Growth $39.99/mo (8 domains, 4 months), Business $69/mo (15 domains, 6 months), and Enterprise $199/mo (200 domains, 5M messages, 1-year history). Overage is published too: $1 per extra domain and $10 per extra 1M messages. Annual prices are not displayed on the pricing page.

Does DMARCLY have a free plan?

No — some aggregator listings mention a DMARCLY free plan, but none exists. Every tier starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, and the floor after that is the $17.99/mo Professional plan. DMARCguard's free tier is ongoing: 2 domains, 30 days of history, and 7 protocols, also with no credit card.

How much does DMARC monitoring cost?

It varies widely. Pricing analysis site dmarceye puts most popular DMARC monitoring tools at $25 to $45 per month just to get started. DMARCLY sits below that at $17.99/mo for 2 domains, and its $199/mo Enterprise tier works out to about $1/domain across 200 domains. DMARCguard's founding rate is $3.9/domain/mo with 1 year of history.

How do I cancel DMARCLY?

There is no self-serve cancellation. DMARCLY's Terms of Service direct you to cancel by contacting support via email or the chatbox, and plan fees are non-refundable under the same terms — annual buyers forfeit the unused portion of the term. If you are on annual billing, time the cancellation ahead of your renewal date.

DMARCLY vs dmarcian: which should I pick?

DMARCLY is the price play: $17.99/mo entry against dmarcian's $24/mo, and far cheaper at portfolio scale. dmarcian counters with deeper deployment tooling and an established review base, where DMARCLY has no third-party reviews on G2 or Capterra to check. If you are weighing dmarcian, see our full dmarcian comparison for its tiers and trade-offs.

Does DMARCLY support DANE or hosted MTA-STS?

DMARCLY's public pages do not list DANE/TLSA. MTA-STS support generates the DNS record, but you self-host the policy file and supply the TLS certificate, and BIMI likewise requires self-hosting the SVG logo and VMC certificate. DMARCguard monitors DANE as part of its 9-protocol stack, and its Hosted DNS add-on covers hosted MTA-STS, BIMI, and TLS-RPT records.
