Aligned
Honest comparison

Aligned vs EasyDMARC: a fair comparison

EasyDMARC is a polished modern DMARC platform with deep deployment tooling. Aligned is a leaner alternative focused on report parsing and alerts.

TL;DR
  • · EasyDMARC is a modern, well-designed DMARC platform with rich tooling: managed DNS, BIMI, MTA-STS deployment.
  • · Aligned trims to the parsing-and-alerting core. We don't manage your DNS or run deployment workflows.
  • · If you want a vendor-managed deployment experience, EasyDMARC fits. If you handle DNS yourself and just want clean reports, Aligned is leaner.

When you should pick which

Pick EasyDMARC if…

  • · You're rolling out BIMI and want their guided VMC + cert workflow.
  • · Your team prefers a vendor-managed approach over self-managed DNS.
Pick Aligned if…
  • · You manage your own DNS (Cloudflare, Route53, etc.) and just want a parsing-and-alerts service.
  • · You want a flat monthly bill regardless of domain count growth.
  • · You'd rather have a focused tool than a deployment platform.

FAQ

Does Aligned host my DMARC DNS records?

No. We give you the right TXT record content; you publish it in your DNS host of choice (Cloudflare, Route53, etc.). EasyDMARC offers managed DNS as a feature; we don't.

Can I migrate from EasyDMARC?

Yes. Update rua= to point at Aligned. Historical reports stay with EasyDMARC; we start fresh.

BIMI support?

We detect and flag BIMI status. We don't sell or guide VMC certs — that's EasyDMARC's value-add.

What about MTA-STS rollout?

We detect MTA-STS configuration and flag issues. Active deployment tooling is on roadmap, not yet shipped.
