Automatic Sender ID
DMARCguard automatically identifies 170+ services using CIDR and rDNS matching, so your report data is labeled from day one.
Single-Pane Multi-Tenant UX
PowerDMARC MSP reviewers report tenant-switching friction — logging into a client account and back out to return to the MSSP view — and note roles and permissions could be easier to understand. DMARCguard manages every domain from one dashboard.
Automated Setup
You don't need to manually verify your domain in DMARCguard. If you can configure your DNS to send reports to us, we'll parse, process, and visualize them and give you actionable insight in seconds.

Why choose DMARCguard over PowerDMARC?
Full data portability
PowerDMARC locks scheduled PDF/CSV/XML exports out of its free tier and gates API access to Enterprise. DMARCguard gives you CSV/JSON export and API access from the Pro tier — your data is always yours.
Zero-config sender detection
DMARCguard automatically recognizes 170+ email services from day one, so your first report view already names your senders.
ARC chain analysis
DMARCguard validates ARC authentication chains — critical for understanding forwarded email authentication. None of the 8 competitors we compared productizes ARC validation, and PowerDMARC has no productized ARC feature.
Transparent refund and cancellation
PowerDMARC's published terms make all services non-refundable, with auto-renewal and a 30-day written cancellation-notice requirement. DMARCguard publishes its refund and cancellation terms transparently with no annual lock-in.
Who is each best for?
Who's best for PowerDMARC?
SMBs and MSPs that prioritize a low published entry price ($8–$15/month Basic). PowerDMARC's support reputation is genuinely strong — "exceptional / responsive customer support" is the single most-cited praise theme on G2 (60 of 240 reviews). MSPs who need white-label, ConnectWise/Gradient PSA integration, and pay-as-you-grow billing are well served by the Partner Program. It also fits smaller portfolios (≤5 domains, ≤2M emails/month) that don't need Hosted DKIM, SAML SSO, audit logs, threat intelligence, or API access — those features require an Enterprise custom quote.
Who's best for DMARCguard?
Teams that want a single-pane multi-tenant UX without per-account login switching (the most prominent friction in PowerDMARC's MSP-context reviews). Organizations that need Hosted DKIM, SPF Flattening, and API access at mid-tier rather than gated to Enterprise. Buyers who require a published refund policy with predictable cancellation terms instead of a non-refundable, auto-renewal, 30-day-notice clause. Companies that want ARC chain validation, which PowerDMARC does not productize.
Migrating from PowerDMARC
Migrating from PowerDMARC keeps your DNS records exactly where they are. DMARCguard reads standard DMARC aggregate (RUA) reports, so reports keep flowing while you validate parity.

Sign up free, add your domains. Keep your PowerDMARC subscription active during validation — you can run both in parallel.
- Append DMARCguard's reporting address to your DMARC record
Add our
rua=mailto:address alongside PowerDMARC's existing one. PowerDMARC keeps receiving reports during validation; DMARCguard begins receiving them within 24-48 hours. - Validate parity for 14-30 days
Compare DMARCguard's dashboard against your PowerDMARC view. Confirm sender identification, alignment counts, BIMI logo display, and policy posture match.
- Remove PowerDMARC's hosted record CNAMEs
If you used PowerDMARC's Hosted DMARC, Hosted BIMI, Hosted MTA-STS, or PowerSPF, remove the CNAME records that delegated to PowerDMARC and publish your own (DMARCguard provides the exact values).
- Cancel PowerDMARC with 30 days' written notice
Per PowerDMARC's Terms section 7.6, cancellation requires 30 days' written notice to their accounts email. Section 7.8 confirms all services are non-refundable, so time your notice against your renewal date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is DMARCguard better than PowerDMARC?
It depends on your needs. PowerDMARC has more features for MSPs (whitelabeling, one-click DNS publishing) and a strong support reputation. DMARCguard has automatic sender identification, ARC chain validation, single-pane multi-tenant management, and AI/MCP integration, with Hosted DKIM and API access at mid-tier rather than Enterprise-only.
Does DMARCguard support one-click DNS publishing?
DMARCguard takes a monitoring-and-guidance approach. Instead of publishing DNS records directly, DMARCguard provides exact records you need and links to your DNS provider. This keeps you in control and avoids vendor lock-in.
Can I white-label DMARCguard?
White-labeling is on the DMARCguard roadmap for enterprise plans. If white-label reselling is a hard requirement today, PowerDMARC's Partner Program covers it — and is well reviewed by MSPs.
Is PowerDMARC free?
PowerDMARC offers a limited free plan with 1 domain, 10-day history, and 10,000 emails per month. DMARCguard's free tier provides 2 domains and 30 days of history with broader protocol coverage including ARC chain validation.
How much does PowerDMARC cost?
PowerDMARC's Basic plan is anchored at $15/mo ($12/mo billed annually) for 5 domains at the 100,000-email volume band, and scales $8–$250/mo across volume bands up to 2M emails/mo. Their Enterprise and Partner Program plans are custom-priced. DMARCguard Pro is $3.9/domain/mo for up to 10 domains with automatic sender identification and AI/MCP integration.
What is a good PowerDMARC alternative?
Good PowerDMARC alternatives include DMARCguard (9 protocols, $3.9/domain/mo, ARC support), EasyDMARC (6 protocols, $44.99/mo), dmarcian (DMARC-focused, $24/mo), and Valimail (enterprise-focused). Of these, DMARCguard is the only one with productized ARC chain validation and MCP integration.
Does PowerDMARC have an API?
Yes, PowerDMARC offers API access on their higher-tier plans. DMARCguard also provides full API access from the Pro tier, plus 17 MCP tools that let AI assistants query your email security data directly without custom integration.
What is PowerDMARC Analyzer?
PowerDMARC Analyzer is PowerDMARC's DMARC report analysis tool that processes aggregate and forensic reports. DMARCguard provides similar analysis capabilities with additional protocol support (ARC, DANE, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT) and automatic sender identification across 170+ email services. See the State of Email Authentication 2026 for the latest adoption data.
