DMARCguard vs URIports
URIports is the price-transparency leader in this category: five published terrain-named tiers from $1.25/mo plus a quote-only Enterprise plan, quotas counted in reports received, and processing that simply halts at quota instead of surprise-billing you. The trade-offs are a 90-day history ceiling, monitoring without hosted SPF or DMARC, and no SLA or certifications. DMARCguard picks up where monitoring stops.

History Beyond 90 Days
URIports retains 30 days of reports below the $120/mo annual Mountain tier and hard-caps at 90 days even on the $480/mo annual Himalaya plan. DMARCguard Pro keeps 1 year of history.
Hosted Records, Not Just Monitoring
URIports hosts exactly one record type, MTA-STS, and its own FAQ states: "We do not offer an SPF flattening service, and we generally recommend against using one." Every other record stays hand-managed in your DNS. DMARCguard hosts SPF and DMARC for you via the Hosted DNS add-on.
Priced Per Domain, Not Per Report
URIports meters usage in reports received per month, shared between email and browser reporting; their own blog notes CSP can exhaust a quota within a few minutes, after which processing halts until the next cycle (with no overage charge). DMARCguard prices per domain at one published rate.
Feature Comparison
URIports monitors broadly and honestly, including browser reporting that none of the vendors in this comparison offers. The gaps are hosting, retention, and enterprise assurance.

Pricing Comparison
URIports publishes everything, priced in reports received per month rather than emails sent. Processing halts at quota, so there are no surprise bills; history caps at 90 days on every plan.
| Tier | DMARCguard | URIports |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 2 domains, 30 days history, 7 protocols | None; 30-day full-featured trial, no payment method required |
| Entry | $3.9/domain/mo -- up to 10 domains, 1 year history (founding price) | Sand $1.25/mo (3 domains, 10,000 reports/mo); Pebble $6/mo annual (5 domains, 100,000 reports/mo); both 30-day history |
| Scale | Custom | Stone $33/mo monthly, or $30/mo billed annually (25 domains, 30-day history) up to Himalaya $530/mo monthly, or $480/mo billed annually (400 domains, 10M reports/mo, 90-day history); Enterprise quote-only |
Why choose DMARCguard over URIports?
A year of history vs a 90-day ceiling
Below the $120/mo annual Mountain tier, URIports keeps 30 days of reports; even Himalaya at $480/mo annual caps at 90 days. Policy rollouts and forwarder investigations routinely need to look further back. DMARCguard Pro includes 1 year of history.
Hosted SPF and DMARC
URIports monitors your records but hosts only MTA-STS, and it explicitly declines to offer SPF flattening. If you want records managed for you rather than hand-edited in DNS, that is DMARCguard's model: hosted SPF and DMARC with exact values provided.
Answers for procurement
URIports publishes an honest trust page: no SLA, no ISO 27001 or SOC 2 (with no concrete plans to pursue them), and OIDC-only SSO. It also has zero reviews on any major platform, so buyers who value third-party social proof cannot get it. Factor that in if your risk review requires attestations or references.
When URIports is the better fit
For EU data sovereignty, URIports is the real thing: privately owned hardware at Eurofiber in the Netherlands with no US-parent cloud, stronger than an EU region on a hyperscaler. Add rock-bottom transparent pricing from $1.25/mo, unified browser plus email reporting, and the free LearnDMARC.com trainer, which reached the Hacker News front page (479 points, January 2022).
Who is each best for?
Who's best for URIports?
EU-based, GDPR-sensitive teams and developers who want inexpensive, unified email and browser reporting. The EU sovereignty is genuine: privately owned hardware in the Netherlands rather than an EU region on a US-parent cloud. Self-serve pricing from $1.25/mo is the lowest published entry in this comparison, provided you are comfortable keeping your own DNS records without an SLA or certifications.
Who's best for DMARCguard?
Teams that have outgrown monitoring. DMARCguard adds hosted SPF and DMARC instead of hand-edited records, retention beyond the 90-day ceiling for policy rollouts and audits, and per-domain pricing that report volume cannot pause. It also suits buyers whose vendor reviews require third-party references that URIports cannot yet provide.
Migrating from URIports
The email side is a simple exit: remove a mailto endpoint. The unusual work is re-homing browser reporting, and exporting early, because data is deleted immediately on termination.
- Export your history first
URIports keeps at most 30-90 days, and JSON/CSV export is available on all plans. On termination your data is deleted immediately and backups expire within 14 days, so export before you cancel, not after.
- Add your domains to DMARCguard and append our RUA address
Add our
rua=mailto:address alongside the URIports endpoint in your DMARC record. Both receive reports during the overlap. - Validate parity for 14-30 days
Compare source identification and alignment. Your DNS records do not change beyond the added address, so this step is zero-risk.
- Re-home browser reporting if you use it
CSP, NEL, and other report-to endpoints are the unusual friction: DMARC platforms do not ingest them. Point those headers at a replacement collector before the account closes.
- Replace the MTA-STS CNAMEs
If you used their hosted MTA-STS, replace the two CNAMEs with your own policy hosting or ours; we provide the exact records.
- Remove the mailto endpoint and cancel
Delete the URIports address from your DMARC record, confirm reports still flow to DMARCguard, then cancel in the self-serve portal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is URIports?
URIports is a Dutch monitoring service that unifies email reporting (DMARC aggregate and failure reports, TLS-RPT) with browser reporting (CSP, NEL, COOP/COEP, Crash, SRI) on one dashboard and one quota. It runs on privately owned servers at Eurofiber Cloud Infra in the Netherlands and is fully self-serve, with published pricing from $1.25/mo.
How much does URIports cost?
Five terrain-named tiers, Sand at $1.25/mo (3 domains, 10,000 reports/mo) up to Himalaya at $530/mo, or $480/mo billed annually (400 domains, 10 million reports/mo), plus a quote-only Enterprise plan. Annual billing takes 10% off on Pebble and above (Sand is monthly-only), prices are shown in USD via Paddle, and there is no free tier, only a 30-day trial. DMARCguard's per-domain rates are on the pricing page.
What is the report quota threshold in URIports?
Every plan meters reports received per month, not emails sent, and email plus browser report types share one quota. When you hit it, processing halts until the next cycle: no overage charges and no automatic upgrades. Their own blog notes an unsampled CSP endpoint can exhaust a quota within a few minutes, so browser-heavy sites should size up.
Does URIports host SPF or DMARC records?
No. MTA-STS is the only record URIports hosts (two CNAMEs, with the policy and certificate maintained for you). The DMARC record stays in your DNS with a URIports mailto endpoint, and their FAQ is explicit: "We do not offer an SPF flattening service, and we generally recommend against using one." DMARCguard hosts SPF and DMARC for teams that want managed records.
Who owns URIports, and is it still maintained?
URIports was founded in 2018 by Roeland Kuiper and Freddie Leeman, two developers from the Netherlands, and remains bootstrapped. Development is active: a near-weekly changelog through July 2026, with a public API, passkeys, DNSSEC validation, and SRI reporting all shipped in 2026. The considerations are scale-related: a two-person team, no SLA, and zero reviews on any major platform.
What is a good URIports alternative for DMARC?
It depends on what monitoring alone does not cover. DMARCguard adds hosted SPF/DMARC, per-domain pricing, and 1 year of history; Valimail fits enterprise buyers. URIports stays the value pick for EU-sovereign, self-managed monitoring from $1.25/mo, and its free LearnDMARC.com is worth using regardless of which platform you choose.
