- Your sending volume is high or growing and you would rather pay per domain: 5 domains cost $24/mo on Unspam at 50,000 or 2 million emails a month, where PowerDMARC Basic runs from $8 to $250/mo on monthly billing
- You want an API and an MCP server without a sales quote. Both come with Unspam's Custom plan; on PowerDMARC both sit on Enterprise or the Partner program, and its separate API plan has no MCP server
- You want a per-domain readiness check for p=quarantine and p=reject, where PowerDMARC's AI Policy Advisor is Enterprise only
- You test campaigns before sending: spam score, seed-list inbox placement across 7 providers and client previews from a free tier, where PowerDMARC's placement analyzer covers 6 providers on Enterprise or its API plan
A PowerDMARC alternative priced per domain, with pre-send testing in the same account
PowerDMARC reads aggregate and forensic reports and hosts your records, priced by email volume. Unspam charges $6 per domain per month, first domain included, checks readiness for p=reject and adds pre-send testing in the same account.
Compared from public pricing and product pages, November 2026.
Which one fits you?
- You want your records hosted, not just your reports read: hosted DMARC, BIMI, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT from Basic, PowerSPF to stay under the 10-lookup limit, and hosted DKIM with 1024, 2048 or 4096-bit keys on Enterprise, API and Partner plans
- You need forensic (RUF) reports on every plan, alerts by email and webhook, domain and IP reputation monitoring with alerts to email, Slack or Discord, or 8x5 and 24x7 managed services. Unspam reads aggregate reports only, sends no alerts, and its blacklist checker runs only when you ask
- You send low volume across up to 5 domains: Basic at 50,000 emails is $8/mo monthly or $6.42/mo billed annually, less than Unspam's $24/mo for 5 domains. Or you serve clients as an MSP and want a white-label, multi-tenant panel
Why teams move from PowerDMARC to Unspam.
A price that does not move with volume
PowerDMARC Basic covers 5 domains and charges by compliant-email tier: $8/mo at 50,000 emails, $45/mo at 200,000 and $250/mo at 2 million on monthly billing. Unspam charges $6 per domain per month with the first domain included, and the price does not depend on how much you send, so 5 domains cost $24/mo.
API, MCP and policy readiness without a quote
On PowerDMARC, the API and the AI Policy Advisor sit on Enterprise (the API also on a separate API plan or Partner), and the MCP server needs an API key from an Enterprise or MSP plan, all priced on request. Unspam's REST API and MCP server come with the Custom plan you buy online, and every domain gets a readiness check that lists what still blocks p=quarantine or p=reject.
Pre-send tests on a self-serve plan
PowerDMARC's seed-based Inbox Placement Analyzer covers Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, AWS Mail and Zoho on Enterprise or the API plan, and spam-score testing was not found. Unspam runs spam score tests, inbox placement across Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Zoho, ProtonMail, AOL and GMX, client previews and email verification for single addresses and whole lists, with a free plan of 5 spam tests and 3 inbox placements a month and no card.
Past 5 domains without a sales call
PowerDMARC Basic stops at 5 active domains, and extra domains are priced on request. Unspam holds up to 500 domains in one account at the same published $6 per domain per month, so 10 domains cost $54/mo and 50 cost $294/mo.

Trying Unspam alongside PowerDMARC
-
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 PowerDMARC, answered.
Is Unspam a replacement for PowerDMARC?
Only for aggregate reporting. Unspam's DMARC monitoring reads aggregate (RUA) reports, names the sending sources and checks each domain's readiness for p=reject. PowerDMARC also processes forensic reports, hosts DMARC, BIMI, MTA-STS, SPF and DKIM records, sends alerts and sells managed services. If hosted records or alerting are what you need, PowerDMARC covers them and Unspam does not.
What does PowerDMARC do that Unspam doesn't?
Record hosting is the big one: hosted DMARC, BIMI, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT from Basic, PowerSPF to keep SPF under the 10-lookup limit (an add-on on Basic), and hosted DKIM with 1024, 2048 or 4096-bit keys on Enterprise, API and Partner plans. It also processes forensic reports on every plan, alerts by email and webhook on Enterprise, monitors domains and IPs across global blocklists on Enterprise, and offers 8x5 or 24x7 managed services and a white-label partner program. Unspam does none of these.
How do the prices compare?
PowerDMARC prices by email volume; Unspam prices by domain. For 5 domains, Unspam is $24/mo ($6 x 4 after the free first domain), priced by domain rather than by volume. PowerDMARC Basic covers 5 domains at $8/mo for 50,000 compliant emails on monthly billing, $15/mo at 100,000 and $250/mo at 2 million, so it costs less at low volume and more at high volume. Past 5 domains, PowerDMARC prices extra domains on request, while Unspam is $54/mo for 10. See pricing.
Can I use both, or move my reports to Unspam?
Yes. If PowerDMARC hosts your DMARC record, add Unspam's reporting address to the rua tag there; otherwise Unspam can add it to your existing record without changing your policy, and it verifies automatically. A rua tag can list two addresses, but some receivers honor only the first two, so keep Unspam's among them. First reports usually arrive 24 to 48 hours after verification.
Does PowerDMARC have a free plan, and what does Unspam cost to start?
PowerDMARC's Free plan is for personal domains only: 1 active domain, 10,000 compliant emails a month, 10 days of history and 1 user, with hosted DMARC and BIMI and both report types. Basic starts with a 15-day free trial and no card. Unspam's DMARC monitoring runs on the Custom plan ($5/mo minimum), where the first domain has no per-domain charge and each further domain is $6 a month, whatever you send.
Does Unspam monitor blocklists the way PowerDMARC does?
No. PowerDMARC's Reputation Monitoring, on Enterprise, tracks your domains and IPs across global blocklists and alerts you by email, Slack, Discord or webhook when something changes. Unspam's blacklist checker is free and on demand: it checks a domain or IP when you run it and sends no alerts. Unspam's scheduled tests are inbox placement and spam score tests only.
