DDMARC vs Red Sift OnDMARC · pricing verified September 2026

Red Sift is cheaper to start and better at BIMI. The question is what happens at your fifth domain.

Both platforms automate enforcement and host MTA-STS and BIMI records, and both let you sign up without talking to anyone. Their Express tier undercuts ours and their VMC workflow beats ours outright — but Express has two ceilings, and everything above it is a quote.

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

01 — What it costs you, specifically

Express is cheap. Express is also capped twice.

Four domains and a million emails a month, whichever you hit first. Past either ceiling the published pricing stops and a sales conversation starts.

Their ladder stops at 4.

Above four domains OnDMARC’s published pricing ends: Essentials, Enterprise and Premier are all quote-only. Ours keeps going on the pricing page — Growth to fifteen, Professional to twenty-five, then Partner and a published Enterprise floor.

List prices, monthly, at the stated domain count. Plans are not like for like: see the matrix for what each includes.

02 — The four differences that matter

Four things, not thirty-seven rows.

Both products automate enforcement, host records and parse aggregate reports into per-sender detail. Listing those as wins would be padding. These are the differences that change the decision.

How you buy

A price on every tier, not just the entry one

Express is published and cheap. The tier above it is quote-only, and a growing estate can reach either of Express’s two caps quickly.

Capability gap

ARC monitoring and the policy simulator

ARC separates a forwarded message from a spoof; the simulator models a move to p=reject against last month’s real traffic. Neither is documented for OnDMARC.

Two ceilings versus one

Express caps on domains and on email volume, so a campaign can push you off it without your estate changing at all. Ours caps on domains only — sending volume is never metered at any tier.

A published partner program

If you resell, our partner tiers are on the pricing page at a rate you can model a margin against before any conversation. Theirs is a partner relationship, not a price list.

03 — Buy the other one

Where Red Sift OnDMARC is the better buy.

If one of these describes you, Red Sift OnDMARC is the better buy. We would rather you knew before you paid.

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.

01
BIMI with a verified mark is the project
If the reason you are buying is to get your logo into inboxes, they run that end to end — including provisioning the VMC. We host the logo and monitor the record, but the certificate is yours to procure. If the certificate is the part you want handled, buying us and procuring the VMC separately is two projects instead of one.
02
You run a large, tangled sending estate
Investigate, Dynamic SPF, DKIM and DMARC automation are built for estates with many senders and a person whose job is to untangle them. Ours covers the same ground with the policy simulator and failure categorization; theirs goes further for that specific shape.

“Not documented” means we could not find it stated in Red Sift OnDMARC’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.

05 — Before you switch

The questions that decide it.

At the entry tier, yes: Express is published at $9/mo billed annually against our $29/mo Protect. Two things qualify that. Express is capped at four domains and one million emails a month, so one campaign can push you off it without your estate changing. The tier above Express is quote-only. Our next two rungs are published at $69 and $99.

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.
