Red Sift OnDMARC
Red Sift OnDMARC is a genuinely strong platform: Dynamic SPF, in-app VMC issuance, and support quality G2 reviewers consistently praise. But only one tier has a public price, aggregators still show conflicting older figures, and DANE sits outside the product. DMARCguard publishes one per-domain price and monitors the full stack.

A Price for Every Tier
Red Sift's own page prices only Express: from $9/mo billed annually, with 4-domain, 1M-email, and 30-day-history caps. Essentials, Enterprise, and Premier are quote-only, and aggregators still show conflicting older prices. DMARCguard's per-domain rate is published for every plan.
The Protocols the Platform Skips
OnDMARC does not host or manage DANE/TLSA records (that monitoring lives in separate Red Sift products), and ARC is a diagnostic flag only. DMARCguard monitors both alongside the rest of the stack.
No One-Year Auto-Renew Floor
OnDMARC subscriptions auto-renew for at least one year at then-current list price, and renewal fees cannot drop below list. DMARCguard's founding price is locked at signup, with no annual lock-in.
Feature Comparison
OnDMARC's hosted stack is broad and well-engineered. The gaps are DANE, ARC depth, and how much of the platform sits behind a quote.

Pricing Comparison
Express is the only publicly priced OnDMARC tier. Everything above it is a sales quote, tiered by domain bases of 25 to 50.
| Tier | DMARCguard | Red Sift |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 2 domains, 30 days history, 7 protocols | None; 14-day trial plus free standalone tools |
| Self-serve | $3.9/domain/mo -- up to 10 domains, 1 year history (founding price) | Express from $9/mo billed annually -- 4 active domains, 1M emails/mo, 30-day history, SPF capped at 10 lookups |
| Enterprise | Custom | Essentials / Enterprise / Premier, quote-only -- domain bases of 25/25/50 active, unlimited volume, 1-year history |
Why choose DMARCguard over Red Sift OnDMARC?
One published price for every tier
Only Express carries a public price; the next three tiers are sales quotes. G2 reviewers describe pricing that "feels more enterprise-oriented" and ask for "finer-grained tiers for smaller sender volumes" (March 2026), and one found add-on modules "beyond our current budget" (October 2025). DMARCguard publishes one per-domain rate for everything.
No one-year renewal floor
OnDMARC subscriptions auto-renew for a minimum of one year at then-current list price, renewal fees cannot go below list, and non-renewal requires 30 days' written notice. DMARCguard's founding price is locked at signup, with no annual lock-in.
Data export without restrictions
An August 2025 G2 review notes "Data export functionality is restricted and lacks flexibility." DMARCguard's full CSV/JSON export works on every plan, every day, so your report history is never stuck inside the platform.
When OnDMARC is the honest pick
If you want in-app VMC issuance, Dynamic SPF at enterprise scale, and lookalike-domain monitoring on one platform, Red Sift's suite is genuinely strong, and its support — G2 Quality of Support sub-scores of 9.8-9.9 (checked 2026-07-21), the dominant praise theme in reviews — is hard to beat. DMARCguard wins on price clarity and DANE coverage, not platform breadth.
Who is each best for?
Who's best for Red Sift?
Enterprise and brand-led buyers who want DMARC consolidated with BIMI/VMC issuance, lookalike-domain and attack-surface monitoring on one sales-led platform. Dynamic SPF is the most-cited technical differentiator in reviews, and support quality is the dominant praise theme. The free Investigate tool is excellent for quick one-off checks.
Who's best for DMARCguard?
DMARC-first buyers who want a published per-domain price on every tier instead of one public tier and three quotes, DANE/TLSA monitoring inside the same product, unrestricted CSV/JSON export, and no one-year auto-renew floor. It also fits teams below enterprise scale — the segment G2 reviewers say OnDMARC's tiering does not serve with finer-grained options.
Migrating from Red Sift
Reports re-point easily, but two OnDMARC dependencies need unwinding first: the Dynamic SPF include and any hosted BIMI/VMC records. Plan both before giving notice.
- Add your domains to DMARCguard
Sign up free and add your domains. Keep OnDMARC active during the overlap; both platforms can receive the same reports.
- Append DMARCguard's RUA address
Add our
rua=mailto:address alongside Red Sift's. Reports arrive within 24-48 hours. - Validate parity for 14-30 days
Compare source identification and alignment between the two dashboards before touching any hosted records.
- Rebuild a static SPF before cancelling
If you use Dynamic SPF, your record depends on a Red Sift include that stops resolving after cancellation. Publish a consolidated static SPF (we provide the exact value) before the account closes.
- Plan BIMI and VMC continuity
Hosted BIMI records and VMC/CMC issuance are managed in-app, and the bundled VMC exists only on Enterprise and Premier. Republish your BIMI record directly and confirm your certificate remains valid outside the platform.
- Export history and time your notice
History export is not turnkey, so pull what you need early. Then send written non-renewal notice at least 30 days before the anniversary; subscriptions otherwise auto-renew for a minimum year at list price or higher.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Red Sift OnDMARC cost?
The only public price is the Express tier: from $9/mo billed annually, capped at 4 active domains, 1M emails per month, 30-day history, and 10 SPF lookups. Essentials, Enterprise, and Premier are quote-only, with domain bases of 25, 25, and 50. DMARCguard publishes every rate on its pricing page.
Does Red Sift OnDMARC have a free tier?
No permanent free tier exists. Red Sift offers a 14-day trial with no credit card, plus free standalone tools: Investigate (a live DMARC/SPF/DKIM/BIMI/MTA-STS test that runs in about 30 seconds), Radar Lite, an SPF checker, and a BIMI checker. DMARCguard's free tier ingests real reports for 2 domains with 30 days of history.
What is Dynamic SPF in OnDMARC?
Dynamic SPF is Red Sift's most-cited technical differentiator: it resolves a single dynamic include at query time to beat the 10-DNS-lookup limit without macros. It is unlimited from the Essentials tier up; Express is capped at 10 SPF lookups. If you ever leave OnDMARC, rebuild a static SPF record before that dynamic include stops resolving.
Does OnDMARC support DANE or ARC?
OnDMARC does not host or manage DANE/TLSA records; DANE monitoring lives in Red Sift's separate Certificates and ASM products, and their own guides point to third-party TLSA generators. ARC is a diagnostic signal only, flagging when ARC overrides a DMARC result, and Red Sift has covered the IETF proposal to mark ARC obsolete. DMARCguard monitors both protocols.
Why do OnDMARC prices differ across Capterra and TrustRadius?
Aggregators still show conflicting older prices: snippets quoting $12 and $35 entry points circulate on TrustRadius and Capterra, while Red Sift's own pricing page lists Express from $9/mo billed annually. Treat the aggregator figures as stale and verify against redsift.com directly; every tier above Express requires a sales quote either way.
What is a good Red Sift OnDMARC alternative?
It depends on the job. DMARCguard fits DMARC-first buyers who want published per-domain pricing on every tier plus DANE monitoring. PowerDMARC competes on breadth at low published prices. OnDMARC itself remains a strong choice for brand-led teams that want in-app VMC issuance and Dynamic SPF, backed by support that G2 reviewers rate highly.
