DNSDeets vs dmarcian
Different tools for different jobs, here's an honest comparison.
| DNSDeets | dmarcian | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Free one-shot scan of your whole domain: SPF/DKIM/DMARC, DNS, TLS, headers, registration | Dedicated DMARC platform: aggregate report parsing, trends, deployment workflow |
| DMARC reports (rua) | Not yet, we check the policy, not the report stream | Yes, its core strength |
| Beyond email | DNS hygiene, DNSSEC, TLS, security headers, registration health | Email-focused |
| Price | Free (scan, ledger, API, PDF) | Free tier, paid plans for report volume |
Use DNSDeets for the full-domain health check and to find what's wrong; use a report platform like dmarcian when you're actively processing DMARC aggregate reports at scale during a p=reject rollout. Many MSPs use both.
