Postmark's Free DMARC Weekly Digests provide a foundational level of DMARC monitoring. We receive weekly email reports summarizing DMARC data, which include insights into the top 10 mail sources sending on our behalf. For each of these sources, we can see up to 5 associated IP addresses. This allows for a quick, albeit high-level, overview of our email ecosystem.
However, the free offering is quite limited. There is no dedicated web dashboard to interact with our data, and the report history only extends back 7 days. Actionable recommendations are provided solely within the email digest, and there are no user management capabilities, meaning it is designed for a single administrator rather than a team.
DMARC 25 presents itself as a more comprehensive DMARC monitoring solution, although specific feature details for its paid tiers require direct contact. We experienced its free trial, which offers one month of DMARC report monitoring. This trial period gives us a glimpse into its capabilities, which we expect to be more robust than simple email digests.
Based on its positioning as a dedicated DMARC service, we anticipate that DMARC 25 would offer a web-based dashboard, more extensive reporting capabilities, and potentially features like detailed source detection, forwarding analysis, and advanced spoof detection. The lack of publicly detailed feature lists means we rely on these assumptions for its full offering.

User experience

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
The user experience for Free DMARC Weekly Digests by Postmark is inherently simple, as it primarily involves receiving and reading an email. Setting it up requires configuring a DMARC record to point to Postmark's reporting address, a standard process for DMARC implementation. Once that is done, the weekly digests arrive automatically.
However, this simplicity comes with limitations. Without a web dashboard, we cannot interactively explore data, apply filters, or drill down into specific reports. All analysis must be done manually by reviewing the text in the email, which can be cumbersome for more complex DMARC environments or if we need to quickly find specific information.
DMARC 25, during our free trial, offered a straightforward setup process common to DMARC monitoring tools. While its pricing model requires direct contact, the initial onboarding for monitoring DMARC reports was efficient. We expect a more modern and interactive user experience through a dedicated web dashboard in its full version, which is typical for such services.
The general ease of use for a product like DMARC 25 would likely revolve around its dashboard's intuitiveness, data visualization, and alert management. Given its Japanese origins, some aspects might be tailored to that market, but we assume a generally accessible interface for DMARC professionals.
Which product has the best support

Support

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
For the Free DMARC Weekly Digests, support channels are primarily limited. While Postmark is known for its excellent support for its transactional email service, the free DMARC product is more of a self-service offering. We found that most inquiries related to interpreting the digests would fall under general DMARC knowledge rather than product-specific issues.
Any deeper technical support for DMARC record configuration or complex reporting analysis would likely require upgrading to Postmark's paid DMARC options or seeking external DMARC expertise. The free product focuses on delivering the information, not providing extensive consultative support.
DMARC 25 emphasizes direct contact for sales and inquiries, suggesting a more personalized support experience for its paid customers. During the free trial, we could access basic support, but comprehensive assistance is likely reserved for those on a paid plan. Their contact details, including a phone number, indicate a direct line to their team.
For users in Japan, the support might be highly responsive and tailored. For international users, the level of English support and response times could vary, but the emphasis on direct communication points towards a more involved customer support model compared to fully self-service options.
Who should use each product

Suitability

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Free DMARC Weekly Digests by Postmark is ideal for individuals or very small businesses (SMBs) with a single domain or a handful of domains who need basic DMARC visibility without investing in a full monitoring platform. It is a fantastic entry point for those new to DMARC who want to understand their email authentication status without complexity.
It is not suitable for MSPs, enterprise organizations, or larger SMBs that require comprehensive DMARC analysis, an interactive dashboard, historical data beyond 7 days, or multi-user access. It serves as a simple notification service rather than a full DMARC management tool.
DMARC 25, with its contact-for-pricing model and one-month free trial, appears to target SMBs and potentially enterprise clients who prefer a more personalized sales and support experience. It could be particularly suitable for organizations that have specific compliance needs or require a tailored DMARC solution, especially within the Japanese market.
MSPs could consider DMARC 25 if they are comfortable with the opaque pricing and potentially managing client accounts through direct engagement. For enterprise clients, the ability to negotiate custom terms and features, as implied by the contact-for-pricing approach, might be appealing, though a lack of transparent features could be a barrier for some.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

The primary drawback of Postmark's Free DMARC Weekly Digests is its limited functionality, lacking a dashboard and in-depth historical data, making comprehensive DMARC management difficult. DMARC 25, on the other hand, suffers from a lack of pricing transparency and detailed public feature lists, which can make evaluation challenging.
We have pulled the average ratings from G2 for each product, and also included the most recent negative reviews for each product in full. Positive reviews tend to have less detail and have a higher chance of being fraudulent, so negative reviews are a better signal for your decision.

Not the best
What do you like best about ActiveCampaign Postmark? It works. Their API is easy-to-use and we never experienced any downtime. What do you dislike about ActiveCampaign Postmark? The price is too high for what we get. Also their administration panel and Analytics graphs are not user friendly. Recommendations to others considering ActiveCampaign Postmark: Check Mandrill as alternative. What problems is ActiveCampaign Postmark solving and how is that benefiting you? We use Postmark as secondary provider to send emails. We send ~100M emails per week.

A clean simple api
What do you like best about ActiveCampaign Postmark? Postmark has been simple and reliable in the 2+ years I've used them. Their API has a fast response time and their batch send calls has been helpful in maintaining a quick response time on our service. They've also been generous in giving us free credits from time to time. They provide webhooks for events you are interested in e.g. bounced emails, spam reports. Their documentation is extensive and comprehensive and also includes libraries for several languages (we use them with python and php). What do you dislike about ActiveCampaign Postmark? Some of the new features Postmark has added aren't as simple as their first product, especially the email templates. Their admin interface also is weird in that it only lets you look at 30 day periods for statistics (we track our own analytics so it's less of an issue for us). Recommendations to others considering ActiveCampaign Postmark: Postmark quickly and effectively help us getting transactional email up for our service. We've evaluated switching to Mailgun (since we get it for free) however right now postmark seems to have the simpler API. What problems is ActiveCampaign Postmark solving and how is that benefiting you? Postmark helped us quickly and effectively add an outside transactional email provider instead of sending SMTP emails. It's also helped ensure that our app stays quick when we were originally directly calling it from the application thread. We've had no problem with getting marked as spam or deliverability and their open tracking by email client has been helpful. We've sent 200,000+ emails with postmark so far.

Speed at a low price
What do you like best about ActiveCampaign Postmark? I really appreciate the speed with which I receive emails. It's very important to me that customers receive emails on time because otherwise we can miss out on some business. What do you dislike about ActiveCampaign Postmark? I don't like the fact that sometimes Mustachio, which is the language used to write emails, is a bit old-fashioned and I have to find other ways to do things that could be done in a more simple way. What problems is ActiveCampaign Postmark solving and how is that benefiting you? Postmark helps me send emails to my customers and retrieve data on email opens. This allows me to have complete control and visibility over the email communications sent.

Definitely worth trying for your company - better than other options!
What do you like best about ActiveCampaign Postmark? Postmark is a really great service and gets the job done when delivering emails to our recipients. There are almost never any hiccups (i.e. emails getting blocked like some other delivery services). We're better able to provide website maintenance and hosting PLUS email delivery services, which is a great one-stop shop feature for clients. Some advice I would give to those on the fence is trying the free trial of Postmark to see if it's a good fit for your company. What do you dislike about ActiveCampaign Postmark? The price isn't as competitive as other options, which can sometimes be an issue dealing with clients. The training opportunities are also minimal if you don't know where to start, which can sometimes be an issue. The biggest dislike from a technical standpoint is there isn't an archiving option. Some clients like this feature when working with us, so that's one thing that can have us looking at other transactional email services. Recommendations to others considering ActiveCampaign Postmark: I would recommend the free trial to those considering Postmark. It's just slightly above average pricing, but is also a better option than the competitors, so overall I would recommend! What problems is ActiveCampaign Postmark solving and how is that benefiting you? We're able to use just Postmark in-house to manage transactional emails, which is a great benefit because when we need to look up something, we don't have to search through individual emails. If something were to go wrong, we can simply check with Postmark. As for our clients, we can use Postmark to deliver all the necessary emails almost always without fail, so this gives us credibility to get the job done when we say we can manage their email services.
