DMARCguard vs DMARC Report
DMARC Report pricing runs from a free Core tier to $3,900/mo Ultimate, and it is the most-reviewed DMARC product on G2 — 4.8/5 across 471 reviews as of July 2026 — with a mature REST API and SOC 2 Type II. The evaluation questions are the 5/10/25 domain caps on paid tiers, and which protocol unlocks at which tier. Here is the full map.

Domain Caps, Stated Plainly
DMARC Report's pricing table caps paid plans at 5, 10, and 25 domains until the $3,900/mo Ultimate tier (the vendor's own FAQ words it differently — details below). DMARCguard has one model: a published per-domain price, no cap ladder.
Growth Without Lockout
One G2 reviewer (December 2025) describes exceeding plan limits locking the account, historical data included — a single account, not a documented policy. DMARCguard has no volume caps to trip — a flat rate per domain means more mail never blocks your dashboard.
Protocols in the Product
MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, and the API unlock at Shield ($75/mo); ARC and DANE live in blog posts, and SPF flattening is the separate AutoSPF product. DMARCguard ships 7 protocols free and 9 on Pro, ARC and DANE included.

Pricing Comparison
DMARC Report pricing is published across five tiers; so is ours. The difference is the ladder: domain caps and protocol gates on one side, a flat per-domain rate on the other.
| Tier | DMARCguard | DMARC Report |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 2 domains, 30 days history, 7 protocols | Core — 1 domain, 10K messages/mo, 30-day history, RUA only |
| Entry | $3.9/domain/mo — up to 10 domains, 1 year history (founding price) | Guard $25/mo or $275/yr ($22.92/mo effective) — 5 domains, 250K messages, 6-month history |
| Mid | Per-domain pricing (rate drops from domain 11) | Shield $75/mo or $750/yr ($62.50/mo) — 10 domains; Defender $200/mo or $2,000/yr ($166.67/mo) — 25 domains |
| Top | Custom | Ultimate $3,900/mo — unlimited domains, 3-year history, dedicated DMARC engineer |
Why choose DMARCguard over DMARC Report?
One pricing model, no cap ladder
DMARC Report's paid tiers cap at 5, 10, and 25 domains until the $3,900/mo Ultimate plan (see the domain-cap FAQ below for the fine print). DMARCguard's model needs no clarification call: one published per-domain rate at any domain count.
Exceeding a cap shouldn't cost your history
One G2 reviewer, in a review dated December 1, 2025, reports that going over plan limits locked the account, historical data included, until an upgrade — a single account, not a documented policy. DMARCguard has no message-volume caps — a flat rate per domain means growth changes your bill, never your access.
ARC, DANE, and SPF flattening in-platform
On DMARC Report, ARC and DANE exist as blog and knowledge-base content rather than product capabilities, and SPF flattening requires the separate paid AutoSPF product. DMARCguard ships ARC chain analysis on the free tier, DANE monitoring on Pro, and dynamic SPF flattening in its Hosted DNS add-on.
When DMARC Report is the better fit
DMARC Report is the most-reviewed DMARC product on G2: 4.8/5 across 471 reviews as of July 2026. Add a genuinely free Core tier, a mature REST API, an MSP program with white-label PDF reports at 50% off list, SOC 2 Type II audited annually since 2022, and EU (Frankfurt) data residency — for MSPs inside the DuoCircle stack, it is a strong pick.
Who is each best for?
Who's best for DMARC Report?
SMBs and MSPs who want a heavily reviewed freemium platform inside the wider DuoCircle email stack: 4.8/5 across 471 G2 reviews as of July 2026 (the most-reviewed DMARC product there), a free Core tier, a mature REST API, hosted MTA-STS from Shield, an MSP program with 50% off list and white-label PDF reports, SOC 2 Type II audited annually since 2022, and EU (Frankfurt) data residency. A strong pick if the 5/10/25 domain caps fit your estate and you don't need ARC, DANE, or in-platform SPF flattening.
Who's best for DMARCguard?
Teams that outgrow cap ladders: a published per-domain rate with no domain tiers, no message-volume caps, and no protocol gates spread across four plans. ARC chain analysis and DANE monitoring are in the product rather than the blog, and SPF flattening doesn't require a second subscription. Start free with 2 domains and 30 days of history, then pay per domain — the rate drops from domain 11.
Migrating from DMARC Report
A standard RUA repoint with good export options on the way out — self-serve CSV plus JSON via the API. Mind the 30-day post-termination export window, and get the applicable refund terms confirmed in writing.
- Export your data
Pull CSV exports self-serve, and JSON via the REST API if your plan includes it (Shield and up). Data is deleted after a 30-day post-termination window, so export before you terminate, not after.
- Add your domains to DMARCguard
Sign up free and add your domains. Run both platforms in parallel during validation.
- Append DMARCguard's RUA address
Add our
rua=mailto:address alongside DMARC Report's in your DMARC record. Reports arrive within 24-48 hours. - Validate parity for 14-30 days
Compare sender identification against Email Vendor ID, and check alignment counts across both dashboards.
- Republish hosted records
If you used the hosted DMARC record (CNAME delegation to dmarcinput.com) or hosted MTA-STS from Shield, replace the CNAMEs with direct records — we provide the exact values.
- Terminate per your Order and confirm refund terms
Service runs under DuoCircle's umbrella terms with per-Order termination. The customer-facing pricing FAQ promises a 30-day full refund while the umbrella Cloud Terms call annual prepayment non-refundable — the two documents differ, so get the terms that apply to you confirmed in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does DMARC Report cost?
There is a free Core tier (1 domain, 10,000 messages/month, 30-day history), then Guard at $25/mo or $275/yr ($22.92/mo effective, 5 domains), Shield at $75/mo or $750/yr ($62.50, 10 domains), Defender at $200/mo or $2,000/yr ($166.67, 25 domains), and Ultimate at $3,900/mo with unlimited domains and a dedicated DMARC engineer. The vendor's pricing FAQ says annual billing saves approximately 17% — that holds for Shield and Defender (16.7%), while Guard's annual price works out to 8.3% off monthly.
Does DMARC Report support unlimited domains?
The pricing page says both things. The comparison table caps Guard, Shield, and Defender at 5, 10, and 25 domains, while the FAQ on the same page states 'All paid plans support unlimited domains... no per-domain fees.' We present both verbatim as a documented contradiction — confirm the cap that applies to your plan in writing before you buy.
What happens if I exceed my DMARC Report plan limits?
One G2 review dated December 1, 2025 reports that exceeding plan limits locked the account, including access to historical data, until an upgrade. That is a single reviewer's account, not a documented policy. DMARCguard has no message-volume caps to trip — pricing is a flat rate per domain, so growth changes your bill, not your access.
What do reviewers say about DMARC Report?
It is the most-reviewed DMARC product on G2: 4.8/5 across 471 reviews as of July 2026, a thin margin ahead of Valimail. Context on the mix: 94.3% of G2 reviewers are small businesses, and a further 222 lifetime-deal buyers rate it 4.8 on AppSumo. G2's own complaint aggregates are 'Poor Interface Design' (23-24 reviews) and 'Outdated Interface' (14 reviews).
Does DMARC Report have an API and MTA-STS?
Yes to both — reviewers praise them. The REST API (domain CRUD, forensic reports, branded PDF export) and hosted MTA-STS and TLS-RPT all unlock at Shield ($75/mo); failure (RUF) reports start at Guard ($25/mo). What is not in the product: ARC and DANE exist only as blog and knowledge-base content, and SPF flattening requires the separate paid AutoSPF product.
Why am I getting DMARC reports?
Because your domain's DMARC record asks for them: the rua tag tells receivers like Google and Microsoft to send daily aggregate XML reports about mail claiming to be from your domain. They are a feature, not a problem — parsed properly, they show every sender using your domain. Both DMARC Report and DMARCguard exist to turn that XML into something readable.
