# Valimail pricing > Valimail pricing explained: Monitor is free, Enforce Starter starts at $5,000 per year, and higher tiers require a custom quote. Valimail publishes a free Monitor plan and lists Enforce Starter as starting at $5,000 per year. Its pricing page names Premium and Enterprise as higher Enforce tiers, but those tiers require a conversation with sales rather than a public rate. Valimail says a premium quote depends on email volume, domains and subdomains, sending services, and organization size. Treat $5,000 as a starting point, not a complete price for every environment. [Valimail's pricing page](https://www.valimail.com/pricing/) was checked on 28 July 2026. ## Quick takeaways - Monitor is Valimail's free plan, while Enforce is its paid DMARC-protection product line. - Enforce Starter is publicly listed as starting at $5,000 per year. - Premium and Enterprise do not have public rates on the pricing page. - Valimail says premium quotes depend on email volume, domains and subdomains, sending services, and organization size. - Ask for the exact scope, term, and included products before using a quote to compare platforms. ## What Valimail publishes publicly [Valimail's pricing page](https://www.valimail.com/pricing/) separates Monitor, Enforce, and Amplify. Monitor is presented as a free plan for visibility. The page presents Enforce Starter, Premium, and Enterprise as pricing tiers. Only Starter has a displayed amount: "Starting at $5,000/year." Premium and Enterprise direct readers to contact Valimail for custom pricing. This page deliberately does not turn that starting price into a per-domain rate, a monthly equivalent, or a promise about what your team will pay. Valimail does not publish those terms on the page. If you are deciding whether Valimail is the right product rather than checking its public price boundary, see the broader [Palisade versus Valimail comparison](/valimail-alternative). ## What a custom quote may depend on [Valimail's request-pricing page](https://www.valimail.com/request-pricing/) says pricing for its premium solutions is tailored to an organization's email infrastructure. It names four factors that can affect a quote: email volume, the number of domains and subdomains, sending services, and organization size. Those factors are inputs to a sales quote, not a published formula. They do not establish which factor carries the most weight or how much any one factor changes the price. That is why two organizations starting from the same public Starter figure can still receive different proposals. ## A practical pricing check before you request a quote Bring a small, consistent fact set to the conversation. It will help you compare Valimail's quote with any other platform proposal on the same scope. ```text Pricing discussion checklist Domains and subdomains in scope: Monthly email volume: Sending services: Required products: Monitor, Enforce, Amplify, or another scope Contract term and renewal terms: Included support, implementation, and add-ons: ``` Ask whether the quoted scope includes every domain and sending service you expect to manage. Also ask what happens if that scope changes. This is procurement hygiene, not a claim about Valimail's contract terms. ![Decision card distinguishing Valimail's published free Monitor plan and Enforce Starter starting price from custom quote requirements.](/images/editorial/valimail-pricing/valimail-pricing-public-price-boundary.svg "1600x900") *Source: Original deterministic visual based on [Valimail's pricing page](https://www.valimail.com/pricing/) and [Valimail's request-pricing page](https://www.valimail.com/request-pricing/).

Otherwise, a lower headline number may simply cover less. When the remaining question is product fit rather than public price, use the [Palisade versus Valimail comparison](/valimail-alternative). For a broader category decision, read the guide to choosing an [email deliverability service](/learning/best-email-deliverability-service) or the operating-model guide to [DMARC monitoring tools](/learning/best-dmarc-monitoring-tools). None of those pages replaces a current vendor quote. ## Sources and further reading - [Valimail pricing](https://www.valimail.com/pricing/) - [Valimail request pricing](https://www.valimail.com/request-pricing/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Valimail free? Yes. Valimail presents Monitor as a free plan. It is separate from the paid Enforce product line, so confirm the product scope you need before treating Monitor as an evaluation of paid enforcement capabilities. ### How much does Valimail Enforce cost? Valimail publicly lists Enforce Starter as starting at $5,000 per year, checked on 28 July 2026. Premium and Enterprise are listed as custom pricing, so the published figure is a starting point rather than a universal rate. ### What affects a Valimail custom quote? Valimail says its premium-solution quotes can be affected by email volume, the number of domains and subdomains, sending services, and organization size. The company does not publish a formula that assigns a specific price to each factor. ### Does Valimail publish Premium and Enterprise prices? No. Valimail's pricing page names Enforce Premium and Enforce Enterprise, but directs readers to contact the company for custom pricing instead of listing public rates for those tiers. ### Should I compare a quote only by the starting price? No. Compare the required product scope, domain and sender scope, contract term, implementation work, support, and any add-ons. A starting price cannot show whether two proposals cover the same operational need.
