- You have only a few domains: 2 domains cost $6/mo on Unspam against $17.99/Month on DMARCLY Professional, and 4 domains cost $18/mo against at least $19.99/Month (Professional plus $1 for each domain over its 2)
- You don't want message volume to decide your bill: DMARCLY Professional covers 100,000 DMARC messages a month and, by its own example, a 220,000-message month is billed at Growth's $39.99, while Unspam prices by domain
- You want a per-domain readiness check that lists what blocks p=quarantine or p=reject, plus a REST API and MCP server without buying Enterprise at $199/Month
- You also test campaigns before they send: spam score, seed-list inbox placement across 7 mailbox providers and client previews, in the same account
A DMARCLY alternative priced per domain, with no volume cap and pre-send testing in the same account
DMARCLY monitors SPF, DKIM and DMARC and adds forensic reports, hosted SPF and alerts. Unspam charges $6 per domain per month, first domain included, names your sending sources and adds pre-send testing and an MCP server.
Compared from public pricing and product pages, November 2026.
Which one fits you?
- You need forensic (RUF) reports with PGP encryption, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT reporting, and email alerts when a DMARC, SPF or DKIM record changes: every DMARCLY plan includes all three and Unspam offers none of them
- You need hosted SPF that stays under the 10-lookup limit: Safe SPF updates when the underlying IP addresses change, with 1 domain on Growth, 2 on Business, 4 on Enterprise and $10 for each extra; Business also watches your sending IPs on Spamhaus ZEN, SpamCop, Barracuda and PSBL
- You run 5 or more domains at modest volume, where Professional plus $1 for each extra domain is $20.99/Month for 5 domains against $24/mo on Unspam; or you want US or EU data storage, daily or monthly summaries, SAML SSO on Enterprise, an MSP dashboard or paid setup from $999
Why teams move from DMARCLY to Unspam.
Priced by domain, not by message volume
DMARCLY's plans combine a domain cap with a monthly message cap, from 100,000 messages on Professional, and its own example bills a 220,000-message month at Growth's $39.99. Unspam charges $6 per domain per month on the Custom plan with the first domain included, so a high-volume domain costs the same as a quiet one.
A readiness verdict, not only a guide
DMARCLY describes the path to p=reject as a guide worked through its Unaligned Sources tab. Unspam checks each domain and lists what stands in the way of quarantine or reject: too few days of data, compliance below threshold, a failing source or unreviewed traffic.
API, MCP and pre-send testing without Enterprise
DMARCLY's API is on Enterprise at $199/Month. Unspam's REST API and MCP server come with the Custom plan, and the same account runs spam score tests, inbox placement across Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Zoho, ProtonMail, AOL and GMX, and client previews.
First domain included, and a refund if it does not fit
DMARCLY has no free plan: after a 14-day trial the cheapest plan is $17.99/Month, and its terms say plan fees are not refundable. Unspam includes your first domain on the Custom plan, and every paid plan carries a 14-day refund with no questions asked.

How these prices work
- Prices are in USD from DMARCLY's pricing page, listed per Month, and the page does not say whether the price is billed monthly or yearly.
- Plans are priced by domain count and message volume: going over the volume cap temporarily moves you to the next plan, volume above 5,000,000 messages is $10 per million, and extra domains above the quota are listed at $1 per DMARC domain and $10 per Safe SPF domain.
- All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, and the terms say plan fees are not refundable.

Trying Unspam alongside DMARCLY
-
Add your domain
Enter it in DMARC Reports. The first domain is free on the Custom plan, and Unspam generates the record to publish or adds its reporting address to the record you already have.
-
Publish one DNS record
Paste the value at your DNS provider. Your mail flow and your policy do not change, and every other report recipient in the record is kept.
-
Read your first reports
Unspam verifies the domain once the record is live. Mailbox providers usually send their first aggregate reports 24 to 48 hours after that.
Unspam vs DMARCLY, answered.
Is Unspam a replacement for DMARCLY?
For aggregate reports, named sending sources and deciding when to enforce, yes: see Unspam's DMARC monitoring. Not if you depend on forensic reports, Safe SPF, TLS-RPT reporting or email alerts on DNS changes. DMARCLY has all four and Unspam has none of them.
What does DMARCLY do that Unspam doesn't?
DMARCLY processes forensic (RUF) reports with PGP encryption on every plan, hosts SPF through Safe SPF on Growth and above, reports on TLS, sends email alerts when your DMARC, SPF or DKIM records change, and offers daily or monthly summaries, blocklist monitoring on Business, an MSP dashboard and paid setup services. Unspam reads aggregate reports only and sends a weekly summary every Monday. In return it adds pre-send testing such as inbox placement.
How do the prices compare?
It depends on the domain count and your volume. For 2 domains, Unspam is $6/mo (the first domain is included) and DMARCLY Professional is $17.99/Month. For 4 domains, Unspam is $18/mo ($6 x 3) and DMARCLY is $19.99/Month, Professional plus $1 for each domain over its quota of 2. From 5 domains DMARCLY costs less while your volume stays under Professional's 100,000 messages: $20.99/Month for 5 against $24/mo on Unspam. Unspam has no message cap and takes 15% off annual billing. See pricing.
Can I run both while I compare?
Yes. DMARCLY has you publish a record whose rua points at its mailbox, so add Unspam's reporting address as a second rua entry, or let Unspam add it for you without changing your policy. Some receivers honor only the first two rua addresses, so keep Unspam's among them. First reports usually arrive 24 to 48 hours after verification, and the DMARC checker confirms the record reads correctly.
Does DMARCLY have a free plan or trial?
No free plan. Every DMARCLY plan starts with a 14-day free trial, and its homepage says no credit card is required. After that the cheapest plan is Professional at $17.99/Month for 2 domains, and the terms say plan fees are not refundable. Unspam includes your first domain on the Custom plan with a 14-day refund, and the DMARC checker is free.
What happens when my email volume outgrows a DMARCLY plan?
DMARCLY moves you up for that month: on Professional (100,000 messages), a 220,000-message month is billed at Growth's $39.99, and you drop back when volume falls. Above 5,000,000 messages it charges $10 per extra million. Unspam does not meter messages: DMARC monitoring costs $6 per domain per month on the Custom plan, first domain included.
