DMARCguard vs Mimecast
Mimecast's DMARC Analyzer 2.0 (January 2026) is a real upgrade — hosted SPF/DMARC/DKIM delegation and TLS-RPT reporting. But the price appears nowhere on mimecast.com, tiers by your domain's legacy Alexa rank, and renewals carry a contractual uplift. DMARCguard publishes one per-domain price.
A Price You Can See
Every Mimecast plan says 'Contact for pricing'. The published reference points: reseller SHI lists standalone DMARC Analyzer at $37,199/yr (Tier 3), and UK G-Cloud bands run £8,125–£29,455/yr by organization size. DMARCguard's price is on our pricing page.
No Contractual Renewal Uplift
Mimecast's own General Terms & Conditions specify renewal uplifts of up to 8% (11% for South Africa), with auto-renewal and roughly 90 days' cancellation notice. DMARCguard founding pricing is locked — stated at signup, no renegotiation.
Your Data Survives Leaving
On contract exit, all customer data is deleted from the Mimecast cloud; audit-log export covers only the last 365 days, and there is no DMARC report-export API. DMARCguard exports everything as CSV/JSON, anytime.

Why choose DMARCguard over Mimecast DMARC Analyzer?
Priced per domain, not per Alexa rank
Mimecast prices DMARC Analyzer per domain using legacy Alexa-rank tiers — higher-profile domains cost more, and multi-domain estates scale expensively. DMARCguard charges one flat published rate per domain, whatever its rank.
A locked price vs an uplift clause
Mimecast's General Terms & Conditions contractually specify renewal uplifts of up to 8% (11% in South Africa). DMARCguard's founding price is locked at signup — the rate you see is the rate you keep.
Exit without data loss
Leaving Mimecast deletes all customer data from their cloud, audit-log export is capped at the last 365 days, and DMARC report data leaves only as manual CSV. DMARCguard's full CSV/JSON export works on every plan, every day.
DMARC-first, not an add-on
Since August 2025, new Mimecast customers must buy the Critical/Advanced/Premium email security plans — DMARC Analyzer rides the top tier or an add-on. If DMARC is the job, DMARCguard sells exactly that layer.
Who is each best for?
Who's best for Mimecast?
Organizations already running the Mimecast email-security suite that want DMARC, gateway, and impersonation protection consolidated under one vendor and one console — especially those who value the done-for-you Managed Service ($13,950/yr reseller list) and named-TAM support tiers.
Who's best for DMARCguard?
DMARC-first buyers who want a published per-domain price instead of an Alexa-rank quote, a locked rate instead of a contractual renewal uplift, full data export instead of deletion on exit, and the protocols the Analyzer still skips: hosted BIMI guidance, MTA-STS, ARC chain analysis, and DANE.
Migrating from Mimecast
Run both in parallel via a second RUA address — and plan source re-classification ahead, because Mimecast deletes your data when the contract ends.
- Export everything first
DMARC report data leaves DMARC Analyzer only as manual CSV, and audit logs cover the last 365 days. Export both before giving notice — on termination, all customer data is deleted from the Mimecast cloud.
- Add your domains to DMARCguard
Sign up free and add your domains. Keep DMARC Analyzer active during the overlap.
- Append DMARCguard's RUA address
Add our
rua=mailto:address alongside Mimecast's. Reports arrive within 24-48 hours. - Validate parity for 14-30 days
Compare source identification and alignment. Sender classifications don't transfer, so confirm DMARCguard's automatic identification covers your senders.
- Republish delegated records
If you used 2.0's DNS Delegation for SPF/DMARC/DKIM, replace the delegated records with direct ones (we provide exact values). If DKIM signing lives at the Mimecast gateway you're keeping, the keys stay there.
- Give notice ahead of auto-renewal
Mimecast contracts auto-renew with roughly 90 days' notice and a contractual uplift of up to 8% — time your cancellation against the renewal date.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Mimecast DMARC Analyzer cost?
Mimecast publishes no price. Verifiable references: reseller SHI lists standalone DMARC Analyzer at $37,199/yr (Tier 3, MSRP $40,000 — the listing is flagged End-of-Life as standalone SKUs fold into plans) and the Managed Service at $13,950/yr; UK G-Cloud 14 bands run £8,125/yr (100–249 users) to £29,455/yr (10,000–19,999 users). Pricing is per domain, tiered by legacy Alexa rank.
Is there a free version of Mimecast DMARC Analyzer?
No free tier exists — the free offering is a BIMI record checker. DMARCguard's free tier ingests real DMARC reports for 2 domains with 30 days of history, no credit card required.
What happened to dmarcanalyzer.com?
DMARC Analyzer B.V., a Dutch DMARC specialist, was acquired by Mimecast in 2019. The legacy app.dmarcanalyzer.com login still operates, and the product was rebuilt on Mimecast's AWS platform as DMARC Analyzer 2.0, generally available January 28, 2026.
Does Mimecast DMARC Analyzer have a domain minimum?
Pricing is sold in per-domain bundles (1–5 domains at the smallest band, up to 101–250). A customer thread on r/mimecast reports being quoted a 5-domain minimum at renewal while monitoring a single domain — worth checking against your own quote. DMARCguard has no domain minimum: pay for exactly the domains you monitor.
Does Mimecast support MTA-STS, ARC, or DANE?
Not in DMARC Analyzer. The Email Security gateway honors MTA-STS policies and enforces DANE on outbound delivery, and signs ARC on inbound mail — but there is no MTA-STS policy hosting, no TLSA record management, and no ARC chain analysis available to you as the domain owner. DMARCguard monitors all three.
Is DMARC Analyzer 2.0 better than the old version?
Yes, genuinely. The January 2026 rebuild added hosted DNS Delegation for SPF/DMARC/DKIM, TLS-RPT reporting, Vendor Management, and console SSO/RBAC — with no cost or SKU changes. The remaining gaps are hosted BIMI, MTA-STS hosting, ARC chain analysis, DANE management, and any report-export API.
