Kevlarr vs Palisade in 2026

Kevlarr combines DMARC monitoring, AI filtering, an implementation wizard, and a multi-tenant MSP dashboard. Current DMARC AI UK pricing advertises a free trial and paid per-domain monitoring. Palisade uses an approval-based AI agent to investigate senders, draft authentication fixes, and propose each policy step for review.

Our verdict: Kevlarr fits MSPs that want AI-filtered DMARC data, customer environments, white-label reporting, and an API-first integration path. Confirm the current regional subscription terms: UK DMARC AI publishes a trial and pricing from £1 per domain per month. Palisade fits teams that want an agent to investigate senders, draft authentication fixes, and propose policy steps for approval.

Best for MSPs with confirmed commercial terms and integration scope

Best for MSPs and IT teams responsible for multiple domains

  • You want Kevlarr’s monitoring and sender dashboard, and have confirmed whether the legacy noncommercial offer, current account offer, or UK paid subscription applies to your domains.
  • You run an MSP and need a multi-tenant partner dashboard, customer environments, PDF reports, white-label branding, or SSO.
  • You prefer an AI-filtered, wizard-led workflow and have confirmed the commercial terms and integration scope with Kevlarr before purchase.
  • You want the agent to investigate every sender, draft every fix, and propose each policy step while your team approves before anything ships.
  • You need a workflow that turns report evidence into prioritized work, rather than a dashboard where operators decide and execute each remediation step.
  • You want published IT-team pricing, free unlimited domain adding, and portfolio-based MSP pricing without client email metering.

The scorecard

Palisade 86 vs Kevlarr 69, 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. Unknown scoring dimensions are shown as Not established; provisional scores average only established dimensions and show coverage. They may change as remaining dimensions are verified. Current ranks include full and provisional scores; equal displayed scores share a rank. Historical assessments are separate. Editorial dimensions last reviewed 2026-10-15.

Dimension
MCP & API connectivityEditorial

How reachable the vendor's DMARC data is from your own software and AI tools. Two paths count, an API and an MCP server, and each only if it reaches DMARC data (domains, records, reports or sending sources). A path is open when it is documented and included from the cheapest paid plan; gated when it needs a higher tier, an add-on, a sales call or a request, or the vendor does not say which plans include it. 10 = both open. 9 = one open, one gated. 8 = both gated. 7 = one open, the other absent. 6 = one gated, the other absent. 5 = access claimed in marketing only, with no docs or plan listing. 4 = reachable only through a self-hosted tool's own interface or a host platform's API, such as parsedmarc's library or Splunk's REST API; a dashboard over a database you run yourself does not count. 3 = no API or MCP server reaches DMARC data.

Kevlarr5/10

DMARC AI's homepage advertises full API access to its data, and its features page advertises MCP.

A vendor whose team does the work rather than its software scores here on the software alone.

In depth

Where Palisade and Kevlarr actually differ

Each argument keeps the product screens, sourced comparison points, and supporting analysis together.

Guidance vs approved execution

Kevlarr's wizard and AI filtering leave a different handoff

Kevlarr's public product story starts with monitoring and triage. Its DMARC monitoring pages describe a view of the parties and systems sending or forwarding mail on a domain's behalf. The partner page adds AI filtering for spoofing and forwarded-email noise, then a DMARC implementation wizard that focuses each customer on the domains requiring attention, starting with the most urgent issues. The current DMARC AI feature page describes the same general shape as a workflow engine with clear actions and DNS guidance. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26) Source 3 (2026-08-26)

Palisade product evidence
  • AI agent that investigates senders, drafts fixes, and proposes policy steps: Agent drafts and proposes
  • Guided path from monitoring to DMARC enforcement: Agent proposes policy steps

That is genuine parity on the evidence and guidance layer. The distinction is the handoff after a sender or record issue appears. Kevlarr's older DMARC page says Basic Monitoring presents the data and leaves analysis and action to the user. Its full-service option puts recurring analysis and source identification with Kevlarr specialists. The public material does not describe an agent that investigates each sender, drafts the SPF or DKIM fix, and places the next policy step in an approval queue. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)

Palisade handles that work differently. The agent investigates every sender, drafts every fix, and proposes each policy step. Your team approves before anything ships. It can analyze aggregate reports, identify sender and alignment issues, draft SPF and DKIM changes, file prioritized tickets, detect policy readiness, and carry a domain toward p=reject with each step approved. For a team with many domains, the question is whether the platform leaves a cleaner queue or leaves the investigation and drafting on the operator side. Source (2026-08-26)

Free access vs price certainty

What Kevlarr publishes about free monitoring and MSP pricing

Kevlarr's legacy free-monitoring pages describe periodic reports, notifications and reports on request for the user's own domains, with MSPs directed to a separate offer. Confirm whether that legacy offer is available for your region and account. Current DMARC AI UK pricing instead advertises a free trial followed by paid per-domain monitoring; it does not establish a free multi-client rate card. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)

Kevlarr’s legacy product and MSP pages describe advanced monitoring, full-service email security, training, specialists, API-first integration, SSO, and white-label reporting.

Palisade gives an IT team a rate card it can model before a sales conversation. IT tiers use flat monthly email-volume pricing, and only the number of new domains set up in a subscription tier is capped. Domain adding stays free and unlimited. MSPs receive portfolio-based per-client-domain pricing with a minimum of 5 client domains, a free NFR domain for their own organization, and no client email metering. Kevlarr may still be the right commercial fit, but the quote needs to answer the limits that its public pages leave open. Source (2026-08-26)

Service engagement vs agent-led remediation

Kevlarr's MSP dashboard is the clearest fit

Kevlarr is unusually direct about the MSP operating surface. The partner page describes a multi-tenant dashboard where an MSP can onboard and manage customers, domains, users, and monitoring subscriptions. The MSP can decide whether a customer sees its own environment and PDF reports. Kevlarr also advertises a white-label option that applies the MSP's logo and color codes to customer dashboards and reports. Those are meaningful parity points for a provider that sells reporting as part of a managed service. Source (2026-08-26)

  • Customer environments, PDF reports, and white-label branding: White-label client reports
  • API-first integration and SSO support: API and PSA integrations

The same page describes training and access to Kevlarr specialists when an MSP lacks the knowledge or employee time to complete an implementation. That creates a clear service-assisted route. A provider that wants a partner relationship around rollout and client reporting can find that model attractive. The tradeoff is that the public materials do not spell out the boundary between software, specialist help, and billable consultancy. Ask who owns sender investigation, DNS changes, new-sender review, and recurring customer communications in the quote and statement of work. Source (2026-08-26)

Palisade's MSP angle is more agent-led. Client domains can sit in a portfolio, but the core value is the work the agent prepares before the operator reviews it. It investigates senders, drafts authentication changes, files prioritized tickets, and proposes policy readiness. Palisade also supports ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask for MSP accounts. Kevlarr advertises API-first integration and SSO, but it does not publish those named PSA connectors on the pages reviewed today. An MSP should choose based on its existing service desk and on how much hands-on remediation it wants to retain. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)

  • Autotask
  • HaloPSA

API flexibility vs implementation certainty

The API-first promise stops short of a public integration catalog

Kevlarr says its application is built on an API-first principle. The partner page says an MSP can integrate the full dashboard or selected parts into its own application, connect its user database and access-control model, and use the SSO module. The current DMARC AI site also advertises full API access for sending data to a PSA or custom management portal. That makes integration a stated part of the product direction.

Pricing

Kevlarr pricing explained (and how Palisade compares)

Kevlarr’s legacy pages describe free noncommercial monitoring, advanced monitoring, full-service email security, and an MSP offering. Current DMARC AI UK pricing publishes a starting rate of £1 per domain per month, with lower per-domain prices as the portfolio grows, and a free trial rather than a permanently free subscription tier. Confirm regional terms, parked-domain treatment, and the portfolio rate before modelling a fleet.

Palisade’s figures are derived from its published tiers. Kevlarr pricing or licensing source reference: vendor source citation date 2026-08-28. Plans and prices may have changed since.

How Kevlarr prices

  • The free monitoring page says the offer has no strings attached for non-commercial use. The sign-up page says free monitoring is for the user's own domain or domains and asks MSPs to contact Kevlarr about a special offer.
  • The current UK starting price is published, but complete paid tier amounts and exact portfolio prices require confirmation.
  • Kevlarr’s partner page directs MSPs to contact Kevlarr for pricing. Confirm the billing basis, implementation fees and any consultancy charges in the quote.
  • No paid-plan retention, domain, email-volume, or trial-duration limits are published on the pricing and product pages reviewed today. Confirm those limits in the quote before modelling a fleet.
  • The current DMARC AI UK pricing page explicitly describes a free trial instead of a permanently free tier. Older Kevlarr pages retain a non-commercial free-monitoring offer; confirm which offer and region apply before presenting ongoing free access as available.

How Palisade prices

  • Palisade publishes flat IT-team plans of $19, $29, $59, $99, and $249/month by email volume, with 20% off annually. New paid subscriptions cap set-up domains at 2, 3, 6, 10, and 20 respectively, while adding domains remains free and unlimited.
  • Palisade's MSP model is portfolio-based per client domain, with a rate that improves as the portfolio grows, a minimum of 5 client domains, no public dollar rate card, and the MSP's own domain included as a free Not-For-Resale license.
  • Palisade includes unlimited report history on IT-team and MSP plans (Enterprise retention follows custom terms), API access on every plan, and a 15-day full-product trial. Current DMARC AI UK pricing advertises a trial but does not state its duration or a paid report-retention allowance on that page.
  • Compare the work model as well as the price. Kevlarr gives an MSP a dashboard, filters, reports, and integration surfaces. Palisade's agent investigates senders, drafts fixes, and proposes policy steps for approval.

Kevlarr · Overview

Kevlarr combines legacy non-commercial DMARC monitoring, AI filtering, a DMARC implementation wizard, and a multi-tenant MSP dashboard. It identifies sending parties and systems, filters spoofing and forwarded-email noise, and guides DNS work toward enforcement. Its Basic Monitoring path presents data in a dashboard, while AI-powered Advanced Monitoring adds filtering that surfaces what needs attention.

Kevlarr’s legacy free monitoring is for non-commercial own-domain use; confirm current availability. It describes separate Advanced Monitoring, full-service email security, and MSP offerings. Its MSP dashboard manages customers, domains, users, monitoring subscriptions, client environments, PDF reports, white-label branding, SSO, and API-first integration. The UK DMARC AI pricing page publishes a starting rate of £1 per domain/month and a free trial; confirm the applicable region and portfolio rate.

Palisade · Overview

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.

Kevlarr · What it covers
  • Provides wizard-led DNS steps from monitoring to enforcement
  • Provides daily sender reports that show sending parties and systems
  • Provides record correctness checks for DMARC and SPF
  • Provides spoofing and forwarding filters for report data
  • Provides a separate customer dashboard for multi-tenant management
Palisade · What it covers
  • 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 records, 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
Kevlarr · Where it stops
  • Does not advertise an approval agent that prepares sender fixes and policy steps
  • Does not advertise named ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask connectors
  • Does not publish a paid-plan report-retention term
  • Does not publish redundant DNS architecture or a DNS availability SLA
  • Does not advertise a public REST or GraphQL API reference
Palisade · Where it stops
  • Every policy change waits for a human approval, by design: nothing ships on the agent's own authority
  • MSP pricing is portfolio-based per client domain, with a minimum of 5 client domains
  • Plans are sized by monthly email volume, so a low-domain, high-volume sender lands on a higher tier than domain count alone suggests

Questions

Palisade vs Kevlarr: FAQ

Is Kevlarr a DMARC monitoring platform?

Legacy Kevlarr pages describe free DMARC monitoring for noncommercial use of your own domains, including visibility into senders and forwarding systems. Confirm whether that legacy offer remains available for your region and account. Current DMARC AI UK pricing advertises a free trial followed by paid per-domain monitoring, rather than an ongoing free subscription tier.

How much does Kevlarr cost?

Current DMARC AI UK pricing starts at £1 per domain per month, with volume-based reductions and a free trial rather than a permanently free subscription tier. Legacy Kevlarr pages separately describe free noncommercial monitoring. Confirm region, domain counts, retention, volume, support, and consultancy terms before purchase. Source (2026-10-13)

Does Kevlarr have an MSP platform?

Yes. Kevlarr advertises a multi-tenant partner dashboard for customers, domains, users, and monitoring subscriptions. MSPs can control customer environments and PDF reports, use white-label branding, access training and specialists, and integrate through an API-first path with SSO.

Does Kevlarr provide an AI enforcement agent?

Kevlarr advertises AI filtering, AI-powered advanced monitoring, an AI assistant, and workflow guidance. Its public pages reviewed for this comparison do not advertise an agent that investigates every sender, drafts every authentication fix, and proposes each policy step for approval. Palisade's agentic workflow is built around that handoff.

Does Kevlarr offer free monitoring?

Legacy Kevlarr pages describe free noncommercial monitoring of the user's own domains, with periodic reports, notifications and reports on request. They direct MSPs to the partner offering. Confirm current availability; DMARC AI's UK offer is a trial followed by paid per-domain monitoring, rather than an ongoing free subscription tier.

What should an MSP confirm before switching from Kevlarr?

Confirm the paid domain and retention limits, report and customer permissions, API endpoints, PSA or billing connectors, support boundaries, DNS ownership, and who performs sender investigation and remediation. Run both reporting destinations during the transition, and keep the DNS owner responsible for approving each record change.

Switching from Kevlarr takes three steps

  1. 1

    Batch-import your domains

    Bring your client domains into Palisade in bulk, or let your ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask integration sync them automatically.

  2. 2

    Run both platforms in parallel

    Keep both reporting destinations configured during the overlap, verify external-report authorization where required, and confirm reports arrive in both platforms before retiring Kevlarr. Review hosted-record dependencies before changing DNS.

  3. 3

    Cut DNS over on your schedule

    Point records at Palisade's hosted infrastructure, then retire the old setup when you're satisfied.

Our onboarding team handles the technical transition with you.
