Palisade vs Suped

Both are modern DMARC platforms that take MSPs seriously. The real differences: Palisade's agent executes enforcement rather than guiding you through it, doesn't meter email volume or report retention on paid plans, and publishes its MSP per-domain price.

The short version

Pick Palisade if you want enforcement executed for you: its AI agent identifies senders, configures SPF/DKIM, and drives domains to p=reject autonomously. Suped's flow is guided — "explains what to change" and "gives the next action for each detected problem" (their compare page, checked 2026-07-16).
Pick Palisade if metering matters: Suped's Business plan tiers by email volume (from 100,000/mo) and caps report retention at 90–365 days; unlimited retention starts at Enterprise. Palisade's paid plans meter neither.
Pick Palisade for published MSP economics: Palisade's per-domain price is public — $9/domain/month, dropping to $7 and $5 as you scale. Suped's MSP plan is "per domain" with a custom quote; their own compare page cites $14/domain/month.
Suped is a genuinely strong monitoring platform — top G2 ratings, transparent self-serve pricing, and a polished guided workflow. If you want hands-on DMARC work with excellent dashboards on one or two domains, it's a fair choice.

Suped pricing explained (and how Palisade compares)

Suped publishes transparent self-serve plans — genuinely rare in this market and worth crediting. The structure to understand is what each tier meters and gates. Here is what their pricing page showed when we checked:

Suped plan	Published price	What you get
Free	$0	1,000 emails/mo, 1 domain, 14-day retention, hosted DMARC
Business	$19/mo billed annually ($24 monthly)	From 100,000 emails/mo, 2 domains, 90-day retention; scales to 2.5M emails / 20 domains / 365 days. Adds SPF flattening, hosted SPF/MTA-STS, blocklist monitoring
Enterprise	Custom — contact sales	Custom volume and domains, unlimited retention, SAML SSO, API access
MSP	Per domain — custom quote	Unlimited emails, domains and retention; agency features

Email volume, domain count, and report retention all step up with price on the self-serve tiers — three meters to forecast per client.
API access is an Enterprise feature, not included on Free or Business.
The MSP per-domain rate is not published — their own compare page cites "$14 / domain / month".

Suped pricing read from their public pricing page on 2026-07-16. Plans and prices may have changed since.

How Palisade prices instead

Per-domain, pay-as-you-go — the price doesn't step up as a client's email volume grows.
Unlimited email volume and unlimited report retention on every paid plan — nothing to forecast, no meter to outgrow.
API access on every plan, including Free.
First domain free forever (NFR for your own MSP), and a 15-day full-product trial with no card.

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

Enforcement: executed vs guided

Suped's remediation is genuinely well-designed guidance: it "explains what to change without DMARC expertise", gives "the next action for each detected problem", and automatically rechecks and closes issues once you've made the change. You (or your client) still make every change.

Palisade removes that loop. Its AI agent analyzes the reports, identifies legitimate senders, configures SPF and DKIM, and progressively tightens policy to p=reject on its own. Across an MSP book of 50–200 client domains, guided-times-two-hundred is a job; executed-times-two-hundred is a dashboard.

Three meters vs none

Suped's self-serve pricing meters three things at once: email volume (from 100,000/mo on Business), domains (2–20), and report retention (90–365 days). Each one is a forecasting exercise per client, and retention matters more than it looks — DMARC enforcement decisions lean on months of sender history.

Palisade meters none of them on paid plans. A domain is a domain whatever it sends, history never expires, and the per-domain rate is the whole bill. Fixed-fee MSP margins stay predictable because the platform cost can't step up underneath you.

MSP economics: a published price vs a quote

Both platforms court MSPs with unlimited-everything MSP tiers. The difference is that Palisade publishes the number — $9 per domain per month, dropping to $7 past 100 domains and $5 past 1,000 — while Suped's MSP plan is a custom quote (their compare page cites $14/domain/month). If you're modeling a managed email-security service, you can price Palisade into your stack today without a sales call.

Palisade also speaks PSA natively — ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask integrations with client-domain import — which Suped doesn't advertise. For an MSP, that's onboarding measured in minutes per client instead of per domain.

Where Suped genuinely shines

Honest credit: Suped's G2 ratings are real and excellent — Leader badges, "Users Most Likely To Recommend" — and their self-serve motion (start free, no sales call) is exactly what this market should look like. For a solo admin doing hands-on DMARC work on a couple of domains with great dashboards, Suped is a fair pick. The comparison above matters most at MSP scale, where metering, quotes, and guided workflows compound across every client you manage.

Switching from Suped 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 Suped 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.

Palisade vs Suped — FAQ

Suped publishes self-serve plans — Free, and Business at $19/mo billed annually ($24 monthly) metered by email volume, domains, and retention — with MSP per-domain pricing behind a custom quote; their own compare page cites $14/domain/month (checked July 16, 2026). Palisade publishes its MSP rate: $9/domain/month, dropping to $7 past 100 domains and $5 past 1,000, with unlimited email volume and retention on every paid plan.

Both do. Suped's free plan covers 1,000 emails per month on one domain with 14-day retention. Palisade's free plan is one NFR domain for your own MSP (capped at 1,000 emails/mo) that stays free forever, plus a 15-day full-product trial on real client domains with no card.

On Suped's self-serve plans, retention is metered: 14 days on Free and 90–365 days on Business — unlimited retention starts at Enterprise (checked July 16, 2026). Palisade keeps report history with no retention cap on every paid plan, which matters because enforcement decisions lean on months of sender history.

Suped doesn't advertise PSA integrations on its pricing or compare pages (checked July 16, 2026). Palisade natively integrates ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask — including client-domain import — plus an API that's included on every plan.

Suped's G2 badges are real — Leader, "Users Most Likely To Recommend", and others — and their product is genuinely well-liked. Ratings measure how much users like a tool; they don't measure enforcement model or MSP economics. If you're choosing for an MSP book, compare the autonomous-vs-guided workflow and the per-domain price directly — both favor Palisade at scale.

Straightforward. Batch-import your domains (or sync them from your PSA), run both platforms in parallel while DMARC reports flow to each, then cut hosted records over to Palisade on your schedule. Palisade's onboarding team handles the technical transition with you, and most migrations complete within days.
