Red Sift OnDMARC Pricing vs DMARCguard
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 covers both, with TLSA and DNSSEC checks and ARC header-chain analysis, 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 | $14.50/mo including 2 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, 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, TLSA and DNSSEC checks 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, a BIMI checker, and BIMI Maker (converts a logo to a BIMI SVG and checks certificate eligibility; the certificate itself is paid). 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 published a post on the IETF draft to conclude the ARC experiment. DMARCguard covers both, with TLSA and DNSSEC checks and ARC header-chain analysis.
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 TLSA and DNSSEC checks. 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.
