DMARC Report vs Palisade in 2026
DMARC Report turns aggregate and forensic email-authentication reports into dashboards, alerts, and API data. Palisade adds an agentic operating model: its agent investigates every sender, drafts every fix, and proposes each policy step—you approve before anything ships.
Our verdict: Pick DMARC Report if you want an established report-monitoring platform with forensic analysis, a REST API, hosted services, and a dedicated MSP program. Pick Palisade if you want an AI agent to carry investigation and authentication setup through each approved step toward p=reject.

Palisade 96 vs DMARC Report 63, and why
Both products are scored on the same eight dimensions the comparison hub uses, so the figures here are the figures there. Four are derived from vendor facts that each carry a source and a checked date. Four are editorial, marked as such below, and each states its reasoning and its source.
Each dimension is out of 10 and the total is the raw sum out of 80, rescaled to 100 — the raw figure is printed beside it so the conversion is checkable rather than a black box. Scored on what each vendor publishes, not on how the product feels in use. Editorial dimensions last reviewed 2026-08-30.
How reachable the product is from your own software and AI tools. 10 = a documented API on every plan plus a published MCP server. 6 = an API, gated to a tier or to a sales conversation. 3 = no programmatic access advertised.

AI analysis identifies sender patterns and actionable issues, and the documented REST API supports automated reports and compliance workflows. Source (2026-08-30)
Report data is analysed into a prioritised list of sender, SPF, DKIM and DMARC issues, so nobody reads raw XML. Source (2026-07-29)
How much of the work the vendor's own software does. 10 = it identifies the sending sources, drafts the SPF and DKIM fixes each one needs, and proposes the next policy step. 6 = it applies the records for you, but a person decides what to fix and when to advance. 3 = it reports, and every change is yours to make. A vendor whose team does the work rather than its software scores here on the software alone.

Recommendations vs approved execution
A capable report platform with an operator-led enforcement boundary
DMARC Report is a cloud-based email-authentication monitoring platform. Its product pages describe aggregate dashboards, forensic failure reports, vendor identification, alignment results, policy evaluation, and alerts across domains. The AI layer can analyze reports in natural language, identify unauthorized senders, explain failures, and recommend next steps. That is meaningful parity for teams that want report data organized and queryable. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26) Source 3 (2026-08-26)


The distinction is what happens after a sender or alignment problem is found. DMARC Report's public AI material describes analysis and recommendations, while its API material says customers build their own automated workflows and integrations. Its pricing page separately advertises Done With You enforcement and a dedicated DMARC engineer on Ultimate. DMARC Report does not advertise an AI agent that drafts SPF/DKIM changes and proposes each policy step for approval (checked 2026-08-26). Palisade's agent owns that investigation and drafting loop; your team remains the release gate. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)
- No agent advertised
- Agent drafts and proposes
- Investigates. Works out what is sending as your domain, and which of it is legitimate.
- Drafts the fix. Prepares the SPF and DKIM record changes each sender needs, rather than describing them.
- Proposes the policy step. Moves toward p=reject when the evidence supports it. You approve before anything ships.
API coverage vs plan access
Strong API and hosted-service coverage, with plan gates
The DMARC Report API is more than a CSV export. Its documentation lists account, domain, aggregate-report, forensic-report, alert, BIMI, MTA-STS, email-source, and member resources. It can return top sources, alignment failures, trends, compliance summaries, and PDF audit reports, while domain endpoints can generate a DMARC record and verify hosted DMARC or MTA-STS setup. That makes DMARC Report a reasonable fit when the central requirement is feeding normalized authentication data into another system. Source (2026-08-26)


The catch is packaging. The pricing page puts API access on Shield and higher self-serve tiers, not on Core or Guard. DMARC Report's public integrations FAQ says there are currently no integrations, so a team wanting a PSA or ticketing connection should expect to build and maintain that connection through the API. Palisade includes API access on every plan and offers native ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask integrations for MSP accounts, so the operational question is whether your team wants an API project or a product workflow ready for its service desk. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)
Native PSA integrations
Palisade imports client domains straight from these three. DMARC Report's own coverage is stated above, from their site.
- ConnectWise PSA
- Autotask
- HaloPSA
- Starts on Shield
- Included on every plan
MSP tooling vs remediation ownership
MSP tooling is real parity; the work model is the decision
DMARC Report takes MSP delivery seriously. Its partner program advertises a multi-tenant dashboard, isolated per-client views, white-label PDF reports, bulk CSV/API onboarding, role-based access, customer portals, white-glove onboarding, and a dedicated partner support channel. The MSP plans also describe widget embeds, white-label domains, aggregate geomaps, advanced alerts, and managed services. An MSP that wants to package monitoring and reporting under its own brand can find the expected building blocks here. Source (2026-08-26)


The concession for DMARC Report is narrow: it fits an MSP that already has the people and process to turn a report finding into a DNS change, or that wants to buy its Done With You service. Palisade is aimed at a different handoff. Its agent investigates each sender, drafts the SPF and DKIM work, detects policy readiness, and proposes the move toward p=reject; the customer approves each step before anything ships. That makes the page-to-page comparison less about whether either product can monitor client domains and more about who carries the remediation queue across the portfolio. Source (2026-08-26)
- Per-client portal views
- White-label reports and domain
- No PSA integrations advertised
- Multi-tenant management
- White-label client reports

Volume pricing vs portfolio pricing
Message-volume pricing versus portfolio-based MSP economics
DMARC Report's self-serve pricing is easy to inspect, but the meter deserves attention. Core starts at 10,000 monthly messages, Guard at 250,000, Shield at 1,000,000, and Defender at 3,000,000; the support documentation explains that each individual email record represented inside incoming reports counts toward the plan. Domain ceilings also vary by tier. For an internal team, that can be a sensible way to match the bill to the amount of mail being observed. For an MSP, the relevant budget question is how many client domains and how much client volume sit under one plan. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)
Palisade publishes a separate MSP model: pay per client domain, with a rate that improves as the portfolio grows, no client email metering, and a free NFR domain for the provider. Its internal IT plans remain flat monthly tiers by email volume, while the agentic workflow reduces the manual investigation and configuration work that volume-based monitoring still leaves to an operator. Compare both the line-item price and the labor required to maintain every domain at the enforcement stage you want. Source (2026-08-26)

Dashboard access vs programmatic access
DMARC Report connects AI tools over REST while its MCP server remains on the roadmap
DMARC Report publishes a token-authenticated REST API for account, domain, report, alert, and compliance data, and its AI page shows Claude Code, ChatGPT, and other AI tools calling that API. It says API access is included on all paid plans on the AI page, while its pricing matrix lists API access starting with Shield. The same AI page says API output can feed dashboards, scheduled client reporting, spreadsheet exports, and PDF generation. It labels the MCP server as coming soon and says it is not yet available, so REST is the vendor's published AI-assistant route (checked 2026-08-27). Source (2026-08-27) Source 2 (2026-08-27) Source 3 (2026-08-27)

Palisade’s figures are derived from its published tiers. DMARC Report figures read from their pricing page on 2026-08-28. Plans and prices may have changed since.
How DMARC Report prices
- The vendor defines a billable DMARC report as an individual email record inside an aggregate or forensic report, not merely the XML file itself.
- The pricing page says paid plans include a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. If no payment method is added, the account downgrades to Core after the trial.
- DMARC Report also advertises an Ultimate tier displayed at $3,900 with unlimited domains, three years of history, a dedicated DMARC engineer, and Done With You enforcement; the page does not label the displayed amount with a billing interval.
- The MSP page advertises white-glove onboarding, a multi-tenant portal, and a 50% partner discount on list pricing, with additional volume discounts described at 50+ and 200+ domains.
How Palisade prices
- Palisade's Free plan covers one domain and up to 1,000 emails/month. Paid IT-team plans are flat monthly prices sized by email volume, starting at $19/month, with 20% off on annual billing.
- Palisade paid IT tiers cap set-up domains at 2, 3, 6, 10, or 20 by volume tier; adding domains is free and unlimited, and only set-up domains count against the tier.
- Palisade's MSP model is quoted per client domain with a rate that improves as your portfolio grows. Client email volume is not metered, and your own MSP domain is a free NFR license.
- Palisade's 15-day full-product trial requires no credit card. The agent investigates every sender, drafts every fix, and proposes policy steps for approval instead of making unreviewed DNS or policy changes.

What each one covers, and where it stops
Published facts only, read from each vendor's own material. Neither column describes a hands-on trial, because we have not run one.
DMARC Report turns aggregate and forensic email-authentication reports into dashboards, alerts, and API data for teams monitoring sending sources, authentication results, and policy readiness. Its cloud platform covers vendor identification, alignment analysis, failure reports, DNS record monitoring, and AI-assisted report analysis, giving operators report data to investigate and use in their own workflows.
DMARC Report also targets MSPs that need multi-tenant client views, white-label reports, bulk onboarding, and customer portals. Its self-serve plans meter monthly message records and domain count, while separate MSP plans add partner access and white-glove onboarding. REST API access and hosted verification endpoints fit teams that need report data and hosted services in a central platform.
Palisade is built around an agent that does the DMARC work rather than reporting on it. It identifies every sending source, drafts the SPF and DKIM changes each one needs, and proposes the next policy step when the evidence supports it.
The agent investigates every sender, drafts every fix, and proposes each policy step, you approve before anything ships.
- Provides aggregate sender dashboards for DMARC monitoring and sender visibility
- Provides message-level failure details in forensic reports
- Provides vendor classification and metrics for email senders
- Provides record-change alerts for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records
- Provides per-client portal views for MSP partners
- The agent investigates senders and drafts the fix, so the work arrives prepared rather than as a list of findings
- Hosted SPF, DKIM and DMARC on redundant managed DNS, so an approved change can be carried out rather than handed off
- Portfolio workflow for MSPs, with ConnectWise, HaloPSA and Autotask integrations and a free NFR domain
- An MCP server and a REST API, so the same data and workflow are reachable from the AI tools a team already uses

- Does not advertise named ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask integrations
- Does not advertise SPF flattening in the DMARC Report product
- Does not advertise a released MCP server for connecting AI assistants to domain data
- Every policy change waits for a human approval, by design: nothing ships on the agent's own authority
- MSP pricing is quoted per client domain rather than published as a rate card
- Plans are sized by monthly email volume, so a low-domain, high-volume sender lands on a higher tier than domain count alone suggests

Palisade vs DMARC Report: FAQ
What is the main difference between DMARC Report and Palisade?
DMARC Report is centered on aggregate and forensic report monitoring, dashboards, alerts, API access, and MSP reporting. Palisade is agentic: its agent investigates senders, drafts SPF and DKIM fixes, and proposes each policy step toward p=reject while your team approves before anything ships.
Does DMARC Report have an AI enforcement agent?
DMARC Report advertises AI report analysis, natural-language questions, sender identification, explanations, and recommendations. It does not advertise an AI enforcement agent that drafts authentication changes and carries each policy step through approval. Its separate Ultimate and MSP materials describe Done With You enforcement with human DMARC engineers.
Does DMARC Report offer an API and integrations?
It publishes a REST API for accounts, domains, reports, alerts, sources, alignment data, and hosted-service verification. Its support FAQ currently says there are no integrations, so ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask are not advertised as native integrations. Palisade includes API access on every plan and native PSA integrations for MSP accounts.
How much does DMARC Report cost?
The published self-serve plans checked August 26, 2026 were Core at $0, Guard at $25/month, Shield at $75/month, and Defender at $200/month. The vendor also lists MSP Framework at $100/month, MSP Sentinel at $250/month, and MSP Armor at $400/month. Plans are tied to message volume and domain counts; confirm current pricing before buying.
Is there a free DMARC Report plan or trial?
Yes. Core is listed as free with 10,000 monthly messages, one domain, 30 days of history, and aggregate reports. The pricing page also advertises a 30-day free trial for paid plans with no credit card required. Palisade offers a separate 15-day full-product trial with no card required.
Can I run DMARC Report and Palisade at the same time?
Yes. DMARC reporting supports multiple recipients, so you can send reports to both platforms during an evaluation window. Keep the DNS policy changes coordinated, compare sender and alignment findings, and move the reporting destination fully when your team is ready.

Bring your client domains into Palisade in bulk, or let your ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask integration sync them automatically.
- 2
Run both platforms in parallel
DMARC reporting supports multiple recipients, so Palisade and DMARC Report receive the same reports during the overlap window. Nothing breaks while you compare.
- 3
Cut DNS over on your schedule
Point records at Palisade's hosted infrastructure (redundant managed DNS), then retire the old setup when you're satisfied.
Our onboarding team handles the technical transition with you.
