Why SealedMail?

Free tools

Free and low-cost DMARC tools do genuinely receive your reports. Then they hand the hard part back to you: a dashboard of IP addresses, pass rates and authentication results that takes real expertise to interpret. Is that unfamiliar sender in Singapore an attack, or your newsletter platform's sending infrastructure? Does an SPF failure rate of 4% matter? The data can't tell you. Someone has to - and with a free tool, that someone is you.

Dashboards

A dashboard means an account, a password, a login your team forgets, an interface to learn, and a habit of checking it that - be honest - won't survive a busy month. The most common fate of a DMARC dashboard at a small firm is to be configured once and never opened again. A report that arrives in your inbox every Monday cannot be forgotten. It meets you where you already work.

Plain-English reporting

Most providers compete on more data: more charts, more drill-downs, more alerting options. SealedMail competes on less - one short report a week saying what happened, what it means, and whether to act, written personally by the expert who read your data. If the answer is "all quiet, nothing needed", that's what it says. For a practice manager, a compliance officer or a business owner, that sentence is worth more than any chart.

Pricing

Much of the market prices by email volume, sender count or feature tier - which means your cost is a moving target, and the quote you started with isn't the price you end up paying. SealedMail is £49 per domain, per month, with everything included. It's a number a finance team can put in a budget and forget about.

UK accountability

SealedMail speaks the regulatory language your business actually operates under - SRA, FCA, NHS DSPT, ICO, Charity Commission, NCSC - and handles data in the UK under UK GDPR, with support in UK business hours from a named individual. When your insurer or a procurement team asks who provides your email security monitoring, the answer is a name, not a ticket queue.

When free tools are the right choice

Honesty cuts both ways: if you have in-house technical staff with the time and interest to interpret DMARC data, a self-serve tool may serve you well at lower cost. SealedMail isn't trying to win that customer. It exists for the much larger group of UK businesses with no one to do that job - and no desire to learn it.
