- You want a price you can read before you talk to sales: $6 per domain per month, first domain included, bought online with a $5 monthly minimum
- You need more than one domain or more than 21 days of history without a quote: Sendmarc's free tier stops at 1 domain, 5k emails a month, 21 days and 1 portal user, while 10 domains on Unspam cost $54/mo
- You want each reporting IP grouped into a named sending source with a plain explanation of why it fails and how to fix it, plus a per-domain check on whether you can move to quarantine or reject
- You also test campaigns before they send: spam score, seed-list inbox placement across 7 mailbox providers and client previews, where Sendmarc's Email Delivery Checker scores one message and, by its own FAQ, does not predict Gmail or Outlook placement
A Sendmarc alternative with a published per-domain price and pre-send testing in the same account
Sendmarc is a DMARC platform that hosts your records by delegation, sold by quote direct and through MSPs. Unspam charges $6 per domain per month, first domain included, publishes that price and adds pre-send testing.
Compared from public pricing and product pages, November 2026.
Which one fits you?
- You want your records hosted: Sendmarc hosts DMARC by CNAME, SPF by redirect with continuous SPF flattening, DKIM by NS delegation, and BIMI, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT by CNAME on paid tiers, so policy changes happen in its portal
- You need failure (RUF) reports, email alerts on compliance and DNS changes, blocklist reporting over the IPs in your DMARC data, SSO and audit logs, or products such as Lookalike Domain Defense and Breach Detection, none of which Unspam offers
- You want someone to do the work, or you resell it: Sendmarc offers managed implementation (it says Premium clients can be fully protected within 90 days, subject to domain count), an enterprise project and CAB approval track, and a co-branded MSP platform with PSA integrations
Why teams move from Sendmarc to Unspam.
A price on the page instead of a quote
Sendmarc publishes no price for any paid tier, and its free tier caps you at 1 domain, 5k emails a month, 21 days of history and 1 portal user. Unspam's DMARC monitoring costs $6 per domain per month on the Custom plan, the first domain is included, and you can buy it online and size it yourself up to 500 domains: 10 domains come to $54/mo.
Reports that say what to fix
Unspam groups reporting IPs into named sending sources (email service provider, own infrastructure, forwarder or suspected spoofing), marks each as compliant, partially failing, failing or unauthorized, and explains why a failing source fails. A per-domain readiness check lists what still blocks p=quarantine or p=reject.
Testing before the send, in the same account
Sendmarc's Email Delivery Checker reads one message you send it and, by its own FAQ, does not predict Gmail or Outlook placement. Unspam runs spam score tests, inbox placement across Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Zoho, ProtonMail, AOL and GMX, and client previews, priced per test, next to your DMARC reports.
Cancel yourself, with a refund window
Sendmarc's Terms of Service renew a subscription for the same term unless you give written notice 30 days before it ends, make fees non-refundable unless the Terms or your Order Form say otherwise, and let them rise with CPI after the first term. On Unspam you cancel the Custom plan yourself in the dashboard and keep access until the paid period ends, and a purchase or renewal charge is refundable within 14 days, no questions asked.

How these prices work
- Sendmarc's pricing page shows no price, currency or billing period: every paid tier says Get a quote, and the MSP column says Contact us.
- The paid columns list the same features, so the page does not separate Premium, Compliance and Enterprise by feature.
- Its Terms of Service say subscriptions renew automatically for the same term unless you give 30 days' notice, fees are non-refundable unless the Terms or an Order Form say otherwise, and fees can rise with CPI after the initial term on 30 days' notice.

Trying Unspam alongside Sendmarc
-
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 Sendmarc, answered.
Is Unspam a replacement for Sendmarc?
For reading aggregate reports and getting to enforcement, often yes: Unspam's DMARC monitoring names your sending sources and checks whether each domain is ready for quarantine or reject. It is not a replacement if you rely on Sendmarc to host your DMARC, SPF and DKIM records, flatten SPF, process failure reports, host MTA-STS or run a managed rollout. Unspam does none of those.
What does Sendmarc do that Unspam doesn't?
Quite a lot on the authentication side. Sendmarc hosts DMARC, SPF (with flattening) and DKIM by delegation, processes failure reports, hosts MTA-STS and reports on TLS, sends email alerts on compliance and DNS changes, and offers managed services and a co-branded MSP platform. Unspam reads aggregate reports only, has no alerts, and sends a weekly summary every Monday instead. What Unspam adds is pre-send testing: spam score, inbox placement and client previews.
How do the prices compare?
Sendmarc publishes no paid prices, so a like-for-like figure needs a quote. Its free tier covers 1 domain, 5k emails a month and 21 days of history. On Unspam, DMARC monitoring is $6 per domain per month with the first domain included and a $5 monthly minimum: for 3 domains that is $12/mo ($6 x 2), for 10 domains $54/mo ($6 x 9), with 15% off annual billing. See pricing.
How do I switch from Sendmarc, or run both?
If Sendmarc hosts your DMARC record through a CNAME, you will need to publish your own record again before you leave; the DMARC record generator can build one. To run both, list two rua addresses in the record. Some receivers honor only the first two, so keep Unspam's among them. Unspam can also add its reporting address to your existing record without changing your policy, and first reports usually arrive 24 to 48 hours after verification.
Does Sendmarc have a free plan or trial?
Yes: Free Basic Reporting covers 1 domain, up to 5k emails a month, 21 days of history and 1 portal user, with aggregate reports and DMARC configuration. Sendmarc labels it a free trial but states no length. Failure reports, SPF flattening, DKIM, BIMI, MTA-STS, alerts, the API and email support need a quote. Unspam's free plan covers spam tests, inbox placements and previews each month; DMARC monitoring is on the Custom plan, first domain free.
Does Unspam replace Sendmarc's Email Delivery Checker?
The two answer different questions. Sendmarc's checker reads one message sent to a generated address and reports SPF, DKIM, DMARC alignment, a spam score and the sending IP with its reputation; its own FAQ says it does not predict Gmail or Outlook placement. Unspam's spam test scores a message on SPF, DKIM, DMARC, content, blacklists and HTML, and inbox placement sends it to seed inboxes at 7 providers and reports inbox or spam at each.
