PowerDMARC starts cheaper. Whether it stays cheaper is a question about your email volume.
These two are the closest match on this site: both bundle hosted MTA-STS, BIMI, SPF and DKIM records instead of leaving you to maintain them by hand. So hosting is not the deciding factor here — the pricing model is, along with two capabilities they do not document and where your data sits.
Free plan: 2 domains, no card, no expiry · Trial: card required, billed on day 15 unless you cancel · 14-day money-back on new paid plans
Same job, two different meters.
Their bill moves with what you send; ours moves with what you own. At low volume theirs is cheaper, and the slider will show you that instead of hiding it.
At 5 domains, PowerDMARC is $21/mo cheaper — $252 a year. Their number is a volume tier, so it holds only while your sending does. Ours does not move when you send more.
List prices, monthly, at the stated domain count. Plans are not like for like: see the matrix for what each includes.
Four things, not thirty-seven rows.
Both products monitor DMARC, host MTA-STS and BIMI records, parse aggregate reports and score your posture. Listing those as wins would be padding. These are the differences that would change your decision.
Flat per domain versus email volume
The bills behave differently, and one is not simply bigger than the other. A good month of sending changes theirs; only adding domains changes ours. Which is better depends on whether your sending or your estate is the thing that grows.
ARC monitoring and the policy simulator
ARC is how a forwarded message is told apart from a spoof, and the simulator models a move to p=reject against last month’s real traffic. Neither is documented on their side.
EU data residency
Report data contains your sending patterns and recipient domains. If that has to stay in the EU, this row decides the purchase on its own.
Which tier the hosted records sit on
Both of us host MTA-STS and BIMI. Theirs is bundled from a lower entry price; ours arrives at Growth. This is the row where their model is straightforwardly better value for a small, low-volume estate.
Where PowerDMARC is the better buy.
If none of these is you, switching costs an afternoon and no data: DMARC reports are generated by receiving providers, so migrating is a change to one DNS record. Ask and we will do the bulk of it at no charge, including running both platforms in parallel while you decide — the offer and the details are below.

Feature by feature.
“Not documented” means we could not find it stated in PowerDMARC’s public materials, not that it is absent. Competitor facts verified from public sources in September 2026— if something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.
The questions that decide it.
At the entry tier, usually yes — their paid plans start around $8/mo where our Protect plan is $29. The trade-off is what the meter is: theirs moves with email volume, so a campaign month can push you up a tier, while ours moves only when you add domains. If your sending is modest and stable, they are cheaper and will stay cheaper. Verify current figures on each vendor’s site (checked September 2026).
Run both for two weeks.
Point the same domain’s reports at both platforms — DMARC lets you send to more than one address. Two weeks of side-by-side data settles this better than any comparison table, including this one.
