Fraudmarc vs Warmforge

Fraudmarc provides brand and customer protection services centered on SPF, DKIM, and DMARC email authentication. It manages and monitors authentication policies and provides free DMARC reports. Its SPF Compression service imports and compresses existing policies, gives users a panel for adding email vendors, and dynamically updates flattened policies when customers or vendors make changes. The service is designed to help address SPF's 10 DNS lookup limit while keeping policies within specification limits. DMARC tools include hosted report analysis, automated analysis, and SenderTrace Intelligence, which identifies people and departments behind email sources. Fraudmarc also lists free SPF record and DMARC policy checkers, and makes its Community Edition DMARC Analyzer available on GitHub. It offers web and self-hosted access. DMARC Standard includes 30-day history for $21 per month when billed annually; Advanced is $4 per user per month billed annually and includes 90-day history. SenderTrace Intelligence is $12 per user per month billed annually and includes one-year history. SPF options start at $2 per month.

Warmforge is an email warm-up and deliverability service for Google Workspace and Outlook mailboxes. It uses AI-written messages to imitate mailbox activity and automatically warm accounts, recommending at least two weeks before outreach. Health Checks review DNS and MX records and check blacklist status. Placement tests show delivery rates across email providers; every plan includes one free test each month. Warmforge says it removes warm-up messages that reach spam. Its curated pool uses aged accounts and is dominated by Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 mailboxes. Monitoring covers inbox placement, sender reputation, authentication, and blocklists. Users can explore features for free, but mailbox warming requires purchased slots, with one mailbox per slot. Platforms include web, macOS, Windows, and API access. Forge CLI manages mailboxes, statistics, and placement tests. Pricing starts at $10 a month, with additional testing plans available.
