Valimail pioneered managed DMARC enforcement — they take a domain from `p=none` to `p=reject` with a high-touch services component, then keep the policy enforced as new senders are added to the SPF chain over time. They serve large enterprises with dozens of authorized senders and complex compliance requirements, often at six- and seven-figure annual contracts.
MailerMonk targets a different customer: B2B founders, sales teams, agencies, and small-to-mid-size businesses who want their DMARC reports parsed, their blocklists watched, and their inbox placement monitored — but don't have an enterprise procurement budget or need a dedicated CSM. We don't replace Valimail for the Fortune 500; we replace 'I have no monitoring at all' for the next 100,000 sending domains.

Choose Valimail when…
- You have 50+ authorized senders, complex M&A history, and a compliance team that wants a vendor with a dedicated CSM.
- You need hosted SPF / dynamic flattening to manage a sprawling sender list without breaking the 10-lookup limit.
- Your annual security budget for email authentication is six figures and procurement requires SOC 2 + ISO 27001 + HIPAA + a dedicated services contract.
Choose MailerMonk when…
- You're not a Fortune 500 IT department.
- You want self-serve signup and visible per-domain pricing, not 'request a demo'.
- You want continuous deliverability monitoring (blocklists, reputation, Postmaster) bundled with DMARC — Valimail's product is narrower.
