Palisade 86 vs Skysnag 86, 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.

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.
Skysnag documents scoped REST API access for API-enabled Protect or Suite accounts; Comply and trial accounts are ineligible. Public docs do not establish an MCP server. Source (2026-10-13)

How much of the report analysis is done for you. 10 = the platform turns raw report data into a prioritised, actionable queue on its own.
Automated report analysis, sender discovery, SPF drift prevention, onboarding, monitoring, client reporting, and API-driven provisioning cover recurring operational work. Source (2026-08-28)
Report data is analysed into a prioritised list of sender, SPF, DKIM and DMARC issues, so nobody reads raw XML. Source (2026-08-30)
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.
Skysnag says its software auto-discovers sending sources and configures SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, while describing p=reject progression as guided; the captures do not specify per-source fix drafts or autonomous next-step recommendations. Source (2026-10-15)

Where Palisade and Skysnag actually differ
Each argument keeps the product screens, sourced comparison points, and supporting analysis together.
Protocol coverage vs report parsing
Skysnag has real parity on authentication automation
Skysnag is a full authentication platform, not a dashboard that waits for someone else to do the work. Its homepage says the product auto-discovers sending sources and configures SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. Its public pricing table adds DMARC hosting, SPF hosting, DKIM record management, an SPF optimization engine, DNS change monitoring, automated security alerts, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, and BIMI capabilities. Those are genuine parity points for an IT team comparing protocol coverage rather than looking only for a report parser. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)

- Hosted DMARC, SPF, DKIM, BIMI, MTA-STS, and TLS-RPT coverage: Hosted on managed DNS
- SPF flattening and ongoing SPF optimization: Hosted SPF flattening
The Integration Center describes the operating loop in more detail: discover senders, map them to domains and selectors, recommend or remediate authentication settings, then monitor enforcement readiness. Skysnag says its integrations can guide or automate configuration, including SPF flattening, DKIM setup and rotation, DMARC hardening, and transport-security controls. A comparison that called Skysnag manual-only would miss what the vendor actually advertises (checked 2026-08-26). Source (2026-08-26)
Automatic execution vs human approval
The meaningful difference is the approval boundary
Skysnag's public language is unusually direct about automation. The MSP page says continuous automation runs with no manual intervention, while the homepage describes zero manual DNS edits and automated DMARC enforcement. That may be exactly what a team wants when the priority is fast rollout and less repetitive administration. It also creates a procurement question: which actions are automatic, which are recommendations, and where can an operator review a change before it reaches DNS or policy?

- Approval-gated agent that investigates senders, drafts fixes, and proposes each policy step: Agent drafts and proposes
- Automatic sender discovery and guided or automated authentication remediation: Agent investigates and drafts
Palisade draws that line differently. Its agent investigates every sender, drafts every fix, and proposes each policy step; the customer approves before anything ships. The benefit is not that Skysnag lacks automation. The benefit is a visible human release gate around the agent's work. Skysnag fits a team that wants the platform to run continuously with minimal intervention. Palisade fits a team that wants the investigation and drafting automated while keeping each enforcement decision reviewable. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)
MSP breadth vs pricing transparency
Skysnag's MSP offer is broad, but pricing stays partner-led
Skysnag publishes a substantial MSP proposition. Its MSP platform includes unlimited client domains from a centralized portal, one interface for the authentication protocols, white-labeled reports, centralized billing and provisioning, API access, a white-labeled security scanner, and automated onboarding and client reporting. The same page says there are no volume limitations, no throttling, and no overage fees, with a starting volume of 10 million emails per month for its scalable MSP offer. Source (2026-08-26)

The tradeoff is commercial transparency. Skysnag publishes the existence of partner pricing and the operating features, but not a public per-client-domain number. Its public integration material focuses on sending services such as Google, Microsoft, HubSpot, Salesforce, Amazon SES, and Zoho; it does not advertise the native ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask connections an MSP may expect from a service-desk workflow (checked 2026-08-26).

Compare the meter as well as the feature list
Skysnag's official pricing routes differ: /pricing lists two domains on Comply and Protect, with twelve months and five years of history; /pricing-new lists one domain for those plans, with 365 days and unlimited history respectively. The Suite domain allowance also differs. Confirm current pricing, domain licences, retention, support and protocol entitlements in writing rather than treating either table as a complete quote.

For MSPs, Palisade uses portfolio-based per-client-domain pricing, with a minimum of 5 client domains, and does not meter client email volume. If you want a broad, continuously automated authentication suite and are comfortable getting partner terms, Skysnag is a credible fit. If your main cost is the technician time between a sender finding and an approved policy change, Palisade's agentic workflow is the more relevant comparison. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)

How Skysnag prices
- The public page says email-authentication pricing is based on the volume of legitimate email traffic reported on the platform and the number of domains. It does not publish a full dollar-by-volume rate card (checked 2026-08-26).
- Skysnag says it notifies customers as they approach a monthly volume limit and lets them upgrade. Its public pricing page does not publish a detailed overage schedule (checked 2026-08-26).
- The public page says each plan includes a specific number of domains and that customers can add a domain through the dashboard or by contacting the accounts team. The comparison does not publish the incremental price for an added domain (checked 2026-08-26).
- The homepage advertises a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The public page also separates email authentication from pay-as-you-go email validation and annual BIMI Digital Trademark billing (checked 2026-08-26).
- Skysnag's MSP pricing page advertises partner pricing, no volume limitations, no throttling, and no overage fees, but it does not publish a per-client-domain rate (checked 2026-08-26).
How Palisade prices
- Palisade's IT-team tiers use flat monthly prices sized by email volume, starting at $19/month with 20% off annually; paid tiers cap set-up domains at 2, 3, 6, 10, or 20, while adding domains remains free and unlimited.
- Palisade's MSP model is priced per client domain, with a rate that improves as the portfolio grows and a minimum of 5 client domains. Client email volume is not metered, and the provider's own MSP domain is a free NFR license. Skysnag advertises no volume limitations for MSPs, but leaves partner pricing to a sales conversation.
- Palisade offers a 15-day full-product trial. Its agent investigates senders, drafts SPF and DKIM fixes, and proposes policy steps for approval; Skysnag's public trial and product pages emphasize automated configuration and enforcement without documenting a per-change approval gate.

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.
Skysnag is an automated email-authentication platform for IT teams that want sender discovery, protocol hosting, SPF optimization, DMARC enforcement, and monitoring in one system. It supports DMARC, SPF, DKIM, BIMI, MTA-STS, and TLS-RPT, and advertises report processing, real-time monitoring, dashboards, and alerts.
Skysnag also targets MSPs that need a centralized client portal, white-labeled reports, billing and provisioning, and API-led onboarding. Its product tiers combine free monitoring, entry-price authentication, managed protection, and an enterprise suite. MSP commercial terms are partner-led, while the public MSP offer advertises no volume limitations, throttling, or overage fees.
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 automated sender discovery and authentication remediation
- Processes DMARC aggregate and forensic reports with dashboards and alerts
- Hosts DMARC, SPF, DKIM, BIMI, MTA-STS, and TLS-RPT records
- Provides SPF flattening and ongoing optimization
- Offers centralized multi-tenant management, white-labeled reports, and API-led provisioning
- The agent investigates senders and drafts the fix, so the work arrives prepared rather than as a list of findings

Palisade vs Skysnag: FAQ
What is the main difference between Skysnag and Palisade?
Both products advertise automated email authentication, sender discovery, SPF and DKIM work, DMARC enforcement, and broad protocol coverage. Skysnag emphasizes continuous automation with no manual intervention. Palisade's agent investigates senders, drafts fixes, and proposes each policy step while your team approves before anything ships.
Does Skysnag support DMARC reporting and enforcement?
Yes. Skysnag's public pages list aggregated and forensic reports, automated report processing, DMARC hosting, automated enforcement and remediation, real-time monitoring, and alerts. Its onboarding guide says customers add a DNS record, then use the dashboard to monitor reports and follow recommendations for the remaining authentication protocols (checked 2026-08-26).
Does Skysnag require manual approval for every DNS or policy change?
Skysnag's public pages do not advertise a customer approval step for every change. They emphasize zero manual DNS edits, continuous automation with no manual intervention, and automated enforcement. Confirm the exact review and rollback controls in a Skysnag demonstration if an approval gate is a procurement requirement (checked 2026-08-26).
How much does Skysnag cost?
Skysnag advertises a fourteen-day free trial with no credit card required and Comply from $39 per month. The official routes differ on domain allowances and retention; /pricing lists Protect from $249/month, while /pricing-new does not display a Protect price. Request the current legitimate-email-volume measure, domain licences and applicable entitlements in a written offer. Source (2026-10-13) Source 2 (2026-10-13)
Does Skysnag support MSPs and multiple clients?
Yes. Skysnag publishes an MSP platform with unlimited client domains, centralized multi-tenant management, white-labeled reports, centralized billing and provisioning, API access, and automated onboarding and client reporting. Its MSP pricing page advertises no volume limitations or overage fees but does not publish a per-client-domain rate (checked 2026-08-26).
Does Skysnag integrate with ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask?
Skysnag's public Integration Center material advertises more than 1,000 sending-service connections, with examples such as Google, Microsoft, HubSpot, Salesforce, Amazon SES, and Zoho. That public material does not advertise ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask integrations, so verify those three specifically before choosing Skysnag for a PSA-led MSP workflow (checked 2026-08-26).
Can I switch from Skysnag to Palisade without interrupting DMARC reporting?
DMARC permits multiple reporting destinations, so both destinations can remain configured during an overlap. Publish external-report authorization where required and confirm reports reach both platforms before removing Skysnag’s destination. Compare sender findings and approval workflows, review hosted-record dependencies, then change approved DNS records on your schedule; uninterrupted reporting is not guaranteed. Source (2026-10-14)
Switching from Skysnag takes three steps
- 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
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 Skysnag. Review hosted-record dependencies before changing DNS.
- 3
Cut DNS over on your schedule
Point records at Palisade's hosted infrastructure, then retire the old setup when you're satisfied.
