When Each Pricing Model Works Better

EasyDMARC works better if:

• You have few domains but need managed services
• You're starting out and want a free tier
• Your email volume is low and predictable

MailSentinel works better if:

• You have multiple domains
• Your email volume varies or is high
• You want predictable monthly costs
• You don't want to worry about caps

The Volume Limit Question

One of the biggest differences is how the platforms handle email volume.

EasyDMARC's Volume-Based Model

Your DMARC reports represent emails sent from your domain. With EasyDMARC:

• Free: 10,000 emails/month cap
• Plus: 100,000 emails/month cap
• Premium: 500,000 emails/month cap
• Business: Custom caps

If you exceed your cap, you'll need to upgrade or lose visibility into some reports.

MailSentinel's Unlimited Approach

We don't count emails. Whether your domain sends 1,000 or 1,000,000 emails monthly, pricing stays the same based on domain count.

Why this matters:

• No surprise bills during high-volume months
• Full visibility into all authentication results
• Marketing campaigns don't blow your budget

Feature Face-Off

AI and Smart Suggestions

EasyDMARC offers AI-powered recommendations for improving your DMARC posture. This can be helpful for teams new to email authentication.

MailSentinel provides guided remediation without AI branding, focusing on clear, actionable steps.

Managed Services

EasyDMARC offers managed DMARC services where their team handles implementation and monitoring for you.

MailSentinel is self-service only. We provide excellent documentation and support, but you manage your own implementation.

If you need someone to do it for you, EasyDMARC's managed services could be valuable.

Interface Philosophy

Both platforms have modern interfaces, but with different approaches:

EasyDMARC: Feature-rich with AI suggestions, notifications, and guidance built into every screen.

MailSentinel: Minimal and focused, showing you what you need without additional prompts.

Neither is objectively better—it depends on your preference.
