Which one is right for you?
Best for Small teams handling DNS edits
Best for MSPs and IT teams responsible for multiple domains
- The documented URIports workflow and commercial terms match your operating requirements.
- Your buying criteria center on vendor-specific enterprise requirements.
- Pick URIports if you want web-platform signals (CSP violations, Network Error Logging, certificate expiry, DNS record changes) in the same dashboard as DMARC reports and your team handles all DNS edits itself.
- Pick URIports if you monitor a small set of domains, 30 to 90 days of report history covers your workflow, and a low flat subscription matters more than executed enforcement.
- You run an MSP, or an internal IT or security team, responsible for multiple domains.
- 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.

Palisade vs URIports: score evidence and limitations
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.

Where Palisade and URIports actually differ
Each argument keeps the product screens, sourced comparison points, and supporting analysis together.
Manual monitoring vs managed enforcement
Monitoring and alerts vs executed enforcement
URIports collects DMARC aggregate and failure reports, plus SMTP TLS-RPT and browser security reports, and organizes them into a dashboard. URIports presents structured report data with filtering by domain, source, result and time range; users can inspect records and compare sources over time. URIports documents adding DNS records or security headers, then reviewing findings and notifications; the reviewed material does not establish agent-led DMARC enforcement.
URIports
- Agent does the enforcement work and evaluates policy readiness; you approve each step: Agent-led enforcement not established
- DMARC report monitoring: DMARC and TLS-RPT reports
Palisade
- Agent does the enforcement work and evaluates policy readiness; you approve each step: Agent drafts and proposes
- DMARC report monitoring: Agent analyzes reports
Palisade's agent identifies legitimate senders, drafts SPF and DKIM fixes, and proposes each policy step for your team's approval. For an MSP running dozens of client domains, compare that agent-led remediation workflow with URIports' documented monitoring and reporting workflow, and verify URIports' current DNS and policy-change steps with the vendor.
Report quotas vs pricing clarity
Report quotas and retention caps vs published pricing
URIports meters processed reports per month: 10k on Sand up to 10M on Himalaya, with domain caps at each tier (3, 5, 25, 100, 400) and extra domains in packs of 10 for $12/mo on Stone and above. Retention is 30 days on Pebble and Stone and 90 days on Mountain and Himalaya; the pricing page does not publish a retention period for Sand. API access starts at Stone ($33/mo) and OIDC SSO at Mountain ($133/mo). The pricing page states email volume itself is unlimited.Source

- Unlimited report history: Unlimited IT/MSP; Enterprise customSource
- API access on every plan: Included on every plan
Palisade publishes its self-serve IT-team pricing: flat monthly plans sized by email volume from $19/month (20% off on annual billing) with 2 to 20 set-up domains by tier (adding domains is free and unlimited), unlimited report history on IT-team and MSP plans (Enterprise retention follows custom terms) and API access on every plan, and a 15-day full-product trial. MSPs receive a free NFR domain and portfolio-based per-client-domain pricing with a minimum of 5 client domains and no client email metering. IT-team and MSP report history never expires (Enterprise retention follows custom terms), and the API ships on every plan, so there is no API tier to plan around.

Small-team flexibility vs MSP scale
Where URIports fits and where MSP scale strains it
URIports serves teams that want DMARC monitoring alongside web-platform signals: CSP violations, Network Error Logging, certificate expiry, and DNS record changes in one place. Its FAQ addresses MSP use directly: group client domains with labels, invite clients as team members scoped to their own domains, and add domains in packs of 10 without changing tiers. That works when clients are few and someone in-house owns the DNS edits each enforcement step requires.

- Portfolio-based MSP pricing: Portfolio pricing not established
Palisade

- ConnectWise, HaloPSA & Autotask integrations: Native PSA integrations
- Portfolio-based MSP pricing: Per client domain
URIports meters processed reports per month, so MSPs should match the plan quota to the portfolio’s expected report volume. Domain limits can be expanded in packs of 10 on eligible tiers without upgrading; compare the applicable quota, domain-add-on cost, retention, and DNS workflow with your requirements.
Dashboard access vs programmatic access
URIports' Stone-tier REST API and JSON webhooks; confirm MCP availability
URIports offers a REST API for DMARC status and monitored-domain management on Stone and above, plus issue notifications through webhooks. Its current product page also advertises Explain with AI for CSP, NEL and other violation reports, using the customer's own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or Mistral API key. This feature investigates report context and suggests next steps; it does not establish an AI agent that publishes DMARC enforcement changes. Confirm MCP availability directly before relying on it.

URIports pricing explained (and how Palisade compares)
URIports prices standard tiers by monthly report volume and domain count. Sand is $15 per year for 10,000 reports per month and three domains, equivalent to $1.25 per month when paid annually. Himalaya is $530 per month for 10 million reports and 400 domains. Annual billing lowers Pebble through Himalaya, extra domain packs cost $12 per month per ten domains on Stone and above, and enterprise accounts are quoted.
What you'd actually pay
The same five buyer sizes on every comparison, so a shape carries from one page to the next.
1 domain, up to 1,000 emails a month
Sand: personal and hobby use, 3 domains, 10k reports/mo; no 1-domain tier published
2 set-up domains, up to 100K emails a month
Pebble: 5 domains, unlimited email volume, 100,000 reports/mo; no 2-domain tier published

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.
URIports combines DMARC aggregate and failure-report monitoring with SMTP TLS-RPT and web-platform signals such as CSP violations, Network Error Logging, certificate expiry, and DNS record changes. URIports presents structured report data with filtering by domain, source, result, and time range.
URIports sells five published tiers based on monthly report quota and domain count, with an Enterprise option for custom terms. It suits teams that want to monitor a small portfolio while handling each DNS and policy change themselves, using alerts, team access, labels, and scoped client access as needed.
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.
- Processes DMARC aggregate and failure reports alongside SMTP TLS-RPT
- Provides hosted MTA-STS on Stone and as a Pebble add-on
- Provides a REST API from Stone and JSON webhooks for alerts
- 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
- Does not advertise agent-led enforcement work and policy-readiness evaluation with operator approval
- Does not publish unlimited report retention
- Does not advertise named ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask integrations
- Does not advertise hosted DMARC or SPF records
- Does not offer SPF flattening; the URIports FAQ explicitly recommends against it.
- 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
- Starts at
- $15/year for personal/hobby projects (Sand; $1.25/mo equivalent)

Palisade vs URIports: FAQ
What is the main difference between URIports and Palisade?
Palisade is agentic DMARC software. Its agent investigates sending sources, works through SPF and DKIM alignment, and moves domains toward p=reject while your team stays in control. When evaluating URIports, compare that operating model with the workflow in its current product documentation and decide how much work you want your team to carry.
Who should choose Palisade?
Choose Palisade if you want an AI agent to investigate senders, draft fixes, and propose policy steps for human approval, whether you manage one domain or thousands. It is also a natural fit for teams already using Claude, OpenAI, or other AI tools to get operational work done.
Who should choose URIports?
Choose URIports if its current integrations, procurement model, or operating workflow better match your requirements. A more operator-led platform can also fit a team that prefers to review reports and make each change itself.
Does Palisade guarantee a specific time to p=reject?
No responsible DMARC platform should promise the same enforcement timeline for every domain. Timing depends on the number of sending sources, access to DNS and third-party systems, and how quickly each legitimate stream can be aligned. Palisade's agent reduces routine investigation and configuration work while operators retain control over policy decisions.
Switching from URIports 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 URIports. 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.
