- Your sending volume is high or growing and you would rather pay per domain: Unspam costs the same at 50,000 or 2 million emails a month
- You want an API and an MCP server without a sales quote. Both come with Unspam's Custom plan; on PowerDMARC they are Enterprise or a separately quoted API plan
- 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 on a self-serve plan with a free tier
A PowerDMARC alternative priced per domain, with pre-send testing in the same account
PowerDMARC is a DMARC platform that reads aggregate and forensic reports and hosts DMARC, BIMI and MTA-STS records, with hosted SPF and DKIM on higher tiers. It prices by DMARC-compliant email volume: Basic covers 5 domains from $8/mo at 50,000 emails on monthly billing, rising to $250/mo at 2 million, and most alerting, API and MCP features sit on the quote-only Enterprise plan. Unspam reads DMARC aggregate reports on its Custom plan at $6 per domain per month, first domain included, names each sending source and checks whether every domain is ready for p=reject. PowerDMARC goes much further into hosted records and alerting; Unspam adds pre-send spam, inbox placement and preview testing, with its API and MCP server on the same self-serve plan.

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 key rotation on Enterprise
- You need forensic (RUF) reports, alerts by email and webhook, blocklist checks across 200+ lists, or 8x5 and 24x7 managed services. Unspam reads aggregate reports only and has no alerts
- 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, and you serve clients as an MSP with white label
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, the MCP server and the AI Policy Advisor sit on Enterprise or the Partner 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 deliverability tester is Enterprise only, 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 an AI attention heatmap, with a free plan of 5 spam tests and 3 inbox placements a month and no card.

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 key rotation on Enterprise. It also processes forensic reports on every plan, alerts by email and webhook on Enterprise, checks 200+ 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.
