DMARCdrift vs EasyDMARC
DMARCdrift vs EasyDMARC

Detailed comparison
Pricing
DMARCdrift winsThis is the starkest difference. DMARCdrift Solo is $9/month and covers up to 15 domains. EasyDMARC Plus is $35.99/month (annual) and covers 2 domains. If you're managing 5 domains across a SaaS product, a side project, and a few personal sites, DMARCdrift costs $9/month. EasyDMARC would cost somewhere between $71.99/month (Premium, 4 domains) and Enterprise pricing to cover the same scope. EasyDMARC also recently eliminated its more permissive free plan and blocked paid-plan users from their paid domains until they manually cleaned up old free ones — a decision that generated significant backlash on Trustpilot.
Data retention
DMARCdrift winsEasyDMARC's Plus plan ($35.99/month) keeps 3 months of report history. DMARCdrift Solo ($9/month) keeps 180 days. You're paying four times as much and getting roughly half the historical window. Retention matters for DMARC: policy progression from `p=none` to `p=quarantine` to `p=reject` takes months, and being able to look back at trend data over that period is what makes the move from monitoring to enforcement possible. On EasyDMARC, you'd need to pay for Premium ($71.99/month for 4 domains) to get a full year of history.
Hosted DMARC and SPF flattening
EasyDMARC winsEasyDMARC's real differentiator is hosted DMARC: publish a single CNAME record, and all your DMARC policy changes propagate through EasyDMARC's infrastructure without touching DNS again. Pair that with EasySPF (their SPF flattening service), and you can manage both DMARC policy and SPF record complexity from one dashboard. DMARCdrift doesn't offer either of these. If you're actively wrestling with SPF lookup limits or you want policy changes without DNS access, EasyDMARC has genuine value there that DMARCdrift doesn't replace.
Who it's built for
DMARCdrift winsEasyDMARC raised $20M and has 83,000+ customers. That scale shows in the product — team-oriented features, RBAC, MSP white-label, PSA/RMM integrations, Slack alerts, a dedicated DMARC engineer option. It's a platform for IT administrators managing DMARC as one piece of a larger infrastructure operation. DMARCdrift is built for a different kind of user: a developer who configured DMARC on their domains, gets the occasional spoofing alert, and wants a product that emails them when something breaks and otherwise stays quiet. The dashboard is a detail view from the digest, not the primary interface.
