Comparison
EasyDMARC packages DMARC monitoring, report parsing, and guided policy rollout for growing teams. ZeroHook goes further. 35 audit checks across SPF, DKIM, infrastructure, and compliance frameworks, with copy-paste DNS fixes your DNS admin can deploy today.
Best for SMB IT admins and MSPs evaluating DMARC platforms who also need SPF/DKIM remediation, infrastructure checks, and NIS2 or SOC2 evidence. Not DMARC monitoring alone.
EasyDMARC is a popular DMARC management platform with aggregate report parsing, policy wizards, and alerting when authentication fails. Its tiered plans target SMBs and mid-market teams rolling out DMARC from p=none toward p=reject. A familiar workflow for marketing and IT teams sending through M365, Google Workspace, and ESPs.
Where teams hit limits is the same gap other DMARC-only tools share: reports show failures, but fixing SPF PermError, adding the correct DKIM CNAME for HubSpot on Route53, or proving to an auditor that DNS controls were monitored for 12 months requires tooling outside the DMARC dashboard. EasyDMARC monitors authentication outcomes; ZeroHook audits the underlying DNS configuration and outputs fixes.
ZeroHook runs 35 checks per domain with continuous monitoring on paid tiers. Evidence ($199/mo) adds tamper-proof audit logs, white-label PDFs, and auditor exports. Agency ($89/mo) supports MSP portfolios with CSV export.
Choose ZeroHook when DMARC monitoring revealed DNS problems you cannot resolve from reports alone.
ZeroHook is the only tool in this price range that outputs provider-specific records. The exact SPF include, DKIM CNAME, and DMARC TXT for Cloudflare, Route53, M365, or Google Workspace. EasyDMARC identifies failures; you still hunt documentation for the fix.
Missing MTA-STS, dangling CNAMEs, blacklist listings, and SPF lookup limits cause deliverability failures DMARC dashboards may not surface clearly. ZeroHook audits the full stack in one scan.
Evidence tier stores 365 days of hash-verified monitoring history with auditor PDFs and Excel export mapped to NIS2 Article 21 and SOC2 CC6.6. EasyDMARC focuses on DMARC operations, not compliance evidence packs.
Agency tier monitors client domains with CSV export. Evidence tier adds white-label PDFs and compliance exports for branded client deliverables.
EasyDMARC fits teams whose primary workflow is DMARC report management and policy progression.
If you want a DMARC-first UI with aggregate report visualization and step-by-step policy tightening wizards, EasyDMARC’s focused experience is mature. ZeroHook optimizes for full-stack audits and remediation.
EasyDMARC entry tiers cover DMARC monitoring for small domain counts at competitive SMB pricing. Pair with ZeroHook free tools until you need copy-paste fixes or compliance exports.
Teams where marketing ops leads DMARC policy with minimal DNS admin involvement may prefer EasyDMARC’s report-centric workflow. Add ZeroHook when IT needs infrastructure checks and provider-specific remediation.
EasyDMARC pricing depends on domain count and plan tier. ZeroHook Deliverability at $29/mo includes continuous monitoring with 35 checks and copy-paste fixes. A broader scope than DMARC-only monitoring at comparable SMB price points.
Deliverability $29/mo · Agency $89/mo · Evidence $199/mo

| Feature | ZeroHook | EasyDMARC |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Full email authentication + DNS security + compliance evidence | DMARC monitoring, report parsing, policy rollout |
| Audit depth | 35 checks (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, BIMI, DNSSEC, and more) | DMARC-centric monitoring and reporting |
| Copy-paste DNS fixes | Yes: Provider-specific remediation records | No: Shows failures; manual DNS changes required |
| DMARC aggregate reports | DMARC record validation and monitoring; not a report inbox | Yes: Core product feature |
| Compliance evidence (NIS2, SOC2) | Evidence tier: tamper-proof logs, auditor PDFs, portal access | DMARC operations focus; limited compliance export |
| MSP / white-label | Evidence tier + white-label; Agency CSV from $89/mo | MSP plans available on higher tiers |
| Free tools | DNS visualizer, SPF/DMARC/MTA-STS checkers (no account) | Limited free DMARC lookup tools |
Export your domain list from EasyDMARC and run a free ZeroHook scan on each to baseline the 35-check health score alongside your DMARC policy status.
Prioritize SPF PermError, DKIM alignment on ESP paths, and missing MTA-STS. The top causes of spam placement that DMARC monitoring alone may not remediate.
Apply copy-paste fixes from ZeroHook; re-scan to confirm. Keep EasyDMARC report parsing during transition if your team relies on its aggregate dashboards.
For MSPs: Agency for portfolio scale; Evidence for white-label PDFs before client-facing reports.
For teams that need full authentication auditing, DNS remediation, and compliance evidence, ZeroHook replaces the monitoring and fix workflow beyond DMARC-only dashboards. EasyDMARC remains useful for aggregate report visualization during policy rollout.
ZeroHook validates and monitors DMARC DNS records and audits related configuration. It does not replace a dedicated aggregate report inbox. Some teams run both during p=none through p=reject transitions.
Gmail spam placement often stems from SPF PermError, DKIM misalignment, or missing DMARC. Not just policy level. ZeroHook diagnoses all 35 failure modes and outputs copy-paste fixes; DMARC-only tools may show the symptom without remediation steps.
Yes. Agency tier supports multi-domain portfolios with CSV export; Evidence tier adds white-label and compliance evidence EasyDMARC does not generate.
Keep EasyDMARC for report parsing if that workflow works. Add ZeroHook for DNS remediation, infrastructure audits, and NIS2/SOC2 evidence. Overlap is common until your next renewal.
Most teams baseline domains in one session, apply DNS fixes over 1–2 weeks, and run both tools in parallel during DMARC policy tightening. Allow 14+ days of clean monitoring before advancing policy.
Choosing a DMARC policy is not a one-time DNS edit. None monitors, quarantine filters, reject blocks unauthenticated mail. Rollout order, pct= staging, and provider-specific pitfalls for 2026.
When SPF passes but mail lands in spam, DMARC alignment, missing DKIM, or envelope-from mismatch is the usual cause. Diagnosis and fix steps for Gmail, M365, and ESP relay sends.
