The verdict
PowerDMARC offers competitive entry pricing at $6.42/month, but that base plan caps you at 5 domains with just 10 days of data history on the free tier. Critical features like hosted SPF (PowerSPF), hosted DKIM, reputation monitoring, and even email/phone support require add-ons or Enterprise upgrades. MailVitals Beat costs more to start ($27/month for one domain), but needs no add-ons: Steady at $57/month covers up to 10 domains with inbox placement.
