AI-first, agent-first DMARC software
DMARC software that does the work
Palisade is the easiest way for IT teams to reach DMARC enforcement, from one domain to thousands. Its AI agent investigates sending sources, configures SPF and DKIM, and moves domains toward p=reject, with DNS integrations that do the setup for you. Traditional DMARC workflows organize reports and leave each change to an operator.
The decision
Which one is right for you?
Pick DMARCLY if…
- You prefer a more traditional DMARCLY workflow with people involved in each enforcement step.
- Your buying criteria center on vendor-specific enterprise requirements.
- Pick DMARCLY if you monitor one or two low-volume domains of your own, are comfortable publishing each DNS change yourself, and the $17.99/mo Professional quota covers your mail flow.
- Pick DMARCLY if your immediate problem is the SPF 10-lookup limit on a small number of domains and a capped Safe SPF allocation on its $39.99/mo Growth tier or higher is enough.
Pick Palisade if…
- You manage anywhere from one domain to thousands.
- You want an AI agent to investigate issues, configure authentication, and move domains toward p=reject.
- Teams already using Claude, OpenAI, or other AI tools can bring the same agent-led operating model to DMARC.

Pricing
DMARCLY pricing explained (and how Palisade compares)
DMARCLY sells four fixed tiers from $17.99 to $199 per month, each bundling a set number of domains, a monthly quota of DMARC-compliant messages, and a data-history window. Extra domains bill at $1 each, and DMARCLY's pricing FAQ prices message volume beyond the 5M top-tier quota at $10 per million.
| DMARCLY plan | Published price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Professional | $17.99/mo | 2 domains, 100,000 DMARC-compliant messages/mo, 2 months data history, 1 user, aggregate + forensic reports, BIMI, MTA-STS/TLS-RPT checks |
| Growth | $39.99/mo | 8 domains, 1 Safe SPF domain, 250,000 messages/mo, 4 months data history, 3 users, live chat support |
| Business | $69/mo | 15 domains, 2 Safe SPF domains, 1,000,000 messages/mo, 6 months data history, 5 users, domain blacklist monitoring |
| Enterprise | $199/mo | 200 domains, 4 Safe SPF domains, 5,000,000 messages/mo, 12 months data history, unlimited users, user access control, API, SSO/SAML |
- All plans include a 14-day free trial (checked 2026-07-18).
- Plans meter monthly "DMARC compliant messages": 100K, 250K, 1M, or 5M by tier.
- Overage billing: $1 per additional DMARC domain and $10 per additional Safe SPF domain beyond plan quota; message overage is $10 per million, which DMARCLY's pricing FAQ states for volume beyond the 5M Enterprise quota (checked 2026-07-18).
- Data history is capped by tier at 2, 4, 6, or 12 months.
- API access and SSO/SAML are listed only on the Enterprise plan.
- DMARCLY does not advertise annual billing or MSP partner pricing on its pricing page (checked 2026-07-18).
DMARCLY pricing read from their public pricing page on 2026-07-18. Plans and prices may have changed since.
How Palisade prices instead
- Palisade prices per domain ($9/$7/$5 per month by volume tier, $2 off with annual billing) with no message metering on paid plans; DMARCLY meters DMARC-compliant messages per month, with over-quota volume beyond the 5M top tier billed at $10 per million.
- Every Palisade paid plan includes unlimited report retention; DMARCLY caps data history at 2 to 12 months depending on tier.
- Palisade includes API access on every plan, including Free; DMARCLY lists API access only on its $199/mo Enterprise plan.
- Palisade's agent executes the rollout to p=reject and hosts DMARC, SPF and MTA-STS records; DMARCLY documents a three-phase rollout (monitoring, quarantine, reject) without advertising automated enforcement, and its MTA-STS guide has you host the policy file yourself.
| Palisade plan | Published price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1 NFR domain for your own MSP, capped at 1,000 emails/mo |
| Domains 2–100 | $9/domain/mo | Unlimited email volume, unlimited retention, every core feature |
| Domains 100–1,000 | $7/domain/mo | Same product — the rate drops automatically as you scale |
| Domains 1,000+ | $5/domain/mo | Same product, best rate |

Customers
MSPs that made the switch
“We increased our meetings booked by 21% and slept better at night knowing our emails are now secured”
“Palisade allowed our team to deploy DMARC on our domains in minutes instead of hours and making sure our clients are compliant with cutting edge security recommendations from Microsoft.”
How enforcement actually happens
DMARCLY collects aggregate and forensic DMARC reports, turns them into charts, and identifies the email vendors behind sending sources. Its documented rollout is a three-phase progression: monitor at p=none, move to p=quarantine, then to p=reject. At every step a person reads the data and decides the change; DMARCLY does not advertise applying policy changes for you (checked 2026-07-18).
Palisade's autonomous agent executes that same progression instead of documenting it. The agent identifies legitimate senders from report data, configures SPF and DKIM for each source, and progressively tightens the DMARC policy until the domain reaches p=reject. For an MSP running dozens or hundreds of client domains, the difference is operational: enforcement is work the platform performs, not a checklist your technicians repeat for every domain.
What DMARCLY meters (and what Palisade doesn't)
DMARCLY meters three things at once. Each tier bundles a domain count (2, 8, 15, or 200), a monthly quota of DMARC-compliant messages (100,000 up to 5 million), and a data-history window (2 to 12 months). Go past a bundle and overage billing starts: $1 per extra domain and $10 per extra Safe SPF domain, with message volume beyond the 5M top-tier quota billed at $10 per million. API access and SSO sit only on the $199/mo Enterprise tier.
Palisade meters one thing: domains. Published per-domain pricing runs $9/domain/mo for domains 2 through 100, $7 to 1,000, and $5 beyond that, with annual billing taking $2 off every tier. Email volume and report retention are unlimited on every paid plan, so a client that suddenly sends ten times more mail changes nothing on the invoice. API access is included on every plan, including the free NFR domain.
Who DMARCLY fits, and where it stops
DMARCLY fits a small IT team watching a handful of its own domains. The Professional tier covers two low-volume domains at $17.99/mo, Safe SPF addresses the 10-lookup problem starting on the $39.99/mo Growth tier, and an MSP dashboard exists for switching between clients. For a team comfortable editing DNS and reviewing reports itself, the metered tiers can cover that scope.
The model strains as an MSP stacks client domains. Message quotas aggregate across every client, so one busy client can burn the shared quota. Retention is capped on every tier, topping out at 12 months on Enterprise. DMARCLY does not advertise ConnectWise, HaloPSA or Autotask integrations, and it publishes no partner pricing (checked 2026-07-18). DMARCLY fits a team monitoring a few low-volume domains that wants to run the policy rollout by hand.
Migration
Switching from DMARCLY takes three steps
Batch-import your domains
Bring your client domains into Palisade in bulk, or let your ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask integration sync them automatically.
Run both platforms in parallel
DMARC reporting supports multiple recipients, so Palisade and DMARCLY receive the same reports during the overlap window. Nothing breaks while you compare.
Cut DNS over on your schedule
Point records at Palisade's hosted infrastructure (100% DNS uptime guarantee), then retire the old setup when you're satisfied.
