Best Agari alternatives in 2026 — and when to stay.
Agari (Fortra) is built for large enterprises, with opaque custom pricing and a sales-led, demo-only process. For most teams, that is overkill. These are the best Agari alternatives in 2026.
Pick your reason. Get a straight answer.
The five reasons people leave Agari. Each has a different right answer, and for one of them the answer is to do nothing.
Opaque custom pricing at every tier, commonly $10k–$100k+ a year.
Switching fixes this, and for most buyers it is the whole comparison. Being unable to budget a line item before a sales cycle is a procurement problem before it is a product one.
Ask for the quote. It costs a meeting and it may come back reasonable — the thing to avoid is assuming instead of asking, in either direction. Run our free plan in parallel and decide at renewal.
An afternoon, one DNS record, and your report history.
DMARC platforms hold very little of your data, so leaving Agari costs about an hour and one changed DNS record. The one loss that does not transfer is your report history. See the full breakdown.
If you would rather we did the switch from Agari, ask: we do the bulk of it at no charge, including running both platforms in parallel while you decide. Request a free migrationOne DNS record per domain. Reply within one business day.

This page ranks us first. Every alternatives page you will read today is published by one of the alternatives. Treat all of them, including this one, as a starting list, not a verdict.

Deliberately not ranked, because a universal ranking is a fiction — the right order depends on the reason you picked above. Each profile names the limitation as well as the strength.
DDMARC
usDDMARC is flat, published per-domain pricing at every tier — free Monitor, Protect from $29/mo, Growth from $69/mo, and a public Partner tier for MSPs. A policy simulator comes with Protect; managed MTA-STS and BIMI hosting and ARC monitoring come in from Growth. It is self-service with a 14-day trial; SAML and OIDC single sign-on come with Enterprise agreements.
See pricingDmarcian
Founded in 2012 by a co-author of the DMARC spec, Dmarcian has extensive public documentation. Pricing is email-volume-based with a steep cliff — Basic (2 domains) is ~$19.99/mo but the next tier jumps to ~$199/mo — and it provides MTA-STS/BIMI monitoring but not managed record hosting.
Compare with Dmarcian →EasyDMARC
EasyDMARC is scoped for non-technical owners, with a free tier for one domain (14-day history). Managed MTA-STS/BIMI hosting and integrations are gated to higher tiers, and ARC monitoring is not documented in its published plans.
Compare with EasyDMARC →PowerDMARC
PowerDMARC is a low-cost bundled suite with hosted records from the entry tier and a white-label MSP program. Pricing is email-volume-based, and ARC monitoring and a policy simulator are not documented publicly.
Compare with PowerDMARC →Valimail
Valimail automates DMARC enforcement (patented Instant SPF) and is FedRAMP-authorized, with a free Monitor tier across unlimited domains; it was acquired by DigiCert in September 2025. Enforcement starts at $5,000/yr with most tiers sales-only — a high bar for smaller teams.
Compare with Valimail →Red Sift OnDMARC
Red Sift OnDMARC is an enterprise DMARC platform with automated enforcement and a BIMI workflow that includes VMC procurement. Its Express tier is a low published entry ($9/mo, capped at 4 domains and 1M emails/mo), but Essentials and above are quote-only and priced on email volume plus domains.
Compare with Red Sift OnDMARC →Sendmarc
Sendmarc is a partner-first, fully managed DMARC platform built for MSPs, with a multi-tenant white-label console and a certified ConnectWise PSA integration. All paid tiers are quote-only (no published pricing), and it leans on a guided, managed-service model, not self-service.
Compare with Sendmarc →MxToolbox
MxToolbox offers free MX, blacklist, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC lookups, and its paid Delivery Center adds deliverability monitoring, IP reputation, and DMARC reporting. It is a broad deliverability suite, not a DMARC specialist, so managed MTA-STS/BIMI hosting, ARC monitoring, and a policy simulator are not its focus, and paid monitoring starts around $129/mo.
Compare with MxToolbox →Every figure and profile here comes from the vendor’s own public materials, verified September 2026. Where we say a capability is not documented, it means we could not confirm it publicly — not that it is absent. If a fact here is wrong or stale, tell us and we will correct it.
What people ask before moving.
For teams that want published per-domain pricing, DDMARC is our pick as an Agari alternative for SMBs and MSPs: published pricing, self-service signup, a 14-day trial, and managed MTA-STS/BIMI hosting — versus Agari’s quote-only, sales-led enterprise model. If FedRAMP authorization is a requirement, DDMARC does not have it.
Run both for two weeks.
You do not have to migrate to compare. Point the same domain’s reports at both platforms and decide on two weeks of your own data, not on anyone’s listicle, including this one.
