DMARCKeeper vs Cloudflare DMARC Management

Cloudflare shipped a free DMARC Management dashboard in June 2026 — a serious, well-built tool for anyone already on Cloudflare DNS. Here's exactly what it does, what it doesn't, and how DMARCKeeper differs, fact by fact.

What Cloudflare DMARC Management does

Cloudflare DMARC Management reached general availability on June 16, 2026, free for any zone that uses Cloudflare as its DNS host.

It reports per-source alignment, checks sending IPs against Cloudflare's own threat intelligence, and shows pass/fail status for DMARC, DKIM, SPF and BIMI, plus an SPF lookup-count audit.

Recommendations are written, in Cloudflare's own words, in “plain language, not RFC jargon” — its public roadmap points toward “smarter recommendations” over time.

It only works for domains that use Cloudflare as their DNS host (apex records) — moving policy from p=none toward enforcement is manual, “at your own pace,” there is no alerting or digest of any kind, report history runs about 30 days, and there's no support channel attached.

The one fact worth remembering: Cloudflare's own product docs confirm the tool ships with zero alert channels — no email, no Slack, no webhook — and only covers domains hosted on Cloudflare's own DNS.

What DMARCKeeper does today

Where Cloudflare only covers domains on its own DNS, DMARCKeeper's checker and /connect onboarding work the same way regardless of who hosts your DNS.

Free checker. DMARC, SPF and DKIM graded A–F, explained in plain English — no signup.
Any DNS, no delegation. /connect reads your current DMARC record and gives exact next steps for your DNS host — a standard TXT record, never a CNAME handover, so you keep control of your zone.
Sender-by-sender reports. Aggregate reports name the sending service instead of raw IPs, classified from 20+ live sender signatures, with a fix guide for each one.
RFC 9990-tolerant parsing. Reports in both the original RFC 7489 format and the newer DMARCbis/RFC 9990 format are accepted without configuration.

When Cloudflare DMARC Management is the better choice

If your domain's DNS already lives entirely on Cloudflare, 30 days of report history is enough for you, and you're fine checking a dashboard yourself on your own schedule instead of being notified — Cloudflare's tool is free, well-built, and there's no real reason not to use it.

Frequently asked

Is this comparison biased?

We built it from Cloudflare DMARC Management's own pricing pages and public reviews, cited inline with the date we checked (2026-07-14). Where Cloudflare DMARC Management does something better, the “When Cloudflare DMARC Management is the better choice” section above says so directly.

How current is this pricing?

Everything above was verified 2026-07-14 directly from the vendor's own site. Pricing and features change without notice — the source link above always points to the current page.

Can I move from Cloudflare DMARC Management to DMARCKeeper later, or the other way?

Yes. DMARC configuration lives in your domain's DNS, not inside a vendor's account — switching your rua= reporting address is a one-line DNS change either way.
