Where dmarcian is ahead
Fair is fair: dmarcian has over a decade of RUA data behind its source identification, a larger support team, SSO/advanced enterprise controls, and an established partner program. If you process millions of DMARC messages daily across hundreds of enterprise domains, dmarcian is a safe choice.
Where MonitorBase wins
Price at feature parity (API access from € 45/mo excl. VAT vs Enterprise-gated at dmarcian), Danish language, EU-sovereign billing (Mollie, Netherlands — no US payment processor), curated Danish sending sources — and white-label workspaces as a regular plan feature instead of a partner program you apply for.
