EmailGuard
Email deliverability platform: inbox placement tests, DMARC/SPF/DKIM checks, blacklist monitoring, domain masking for cold email.
RecommendedLast reviewed July 11, 2026
What EmailGuard actually is.
EmailGuard is a deliverability testing and monitoring tool. It runs inbox placement tests against major providers, checks SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, and watches domains and IPs for blacklist listings, with guidance on getting delisted when one hits. The email tester scores each send against roughly 162 data points pulled from spam filters. A separate checker flags spam-trigger content before you send it. None of that is warmup. EmailGuard tells you how an inbox is actually landing, but it doesn't provision or warm the inbox itself, so you still need separate infrastructure for that piece.
It works as a dashboard or through its own API, and access runs on a credit-based structure rather than one flat plan. The platform aggregates DMARC history across every connected domain in one place. Its masking proxy lets agencies route sending through secondary domains without exposing the one they actually care about, and real-time contact verification catches bad addresses before they add to your bounce rate.
What it does
- Runs on-demand or scheduled inbox placement tests across major email providers.
- Looks up, generates, and verifies SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records.
- Monitors domains, IPs, and sending servers for blacklist listings, with delisting guidance.
- Scores test sends against roughly 162 spam-filter data points.
- Flags spam-trigger words and phrasing before you send a campaign.
- Masks your primary sending domain behind a proxy for cold email.
- Verifies contact emails in real time to cut bounce rates.
It's built for teams testing and monitoring email at volume across many domains, not for someone sending a handful of messages a month.

Pricing, without the fiction.
The free plan is usable for light single-domain testing but caps at 10 email tests and 20 spam checks a month, with credits resetting rather than rolling over. Real usage starts at Pro, $49/month for 25 domains and 100 email accounts. Costs scale mainly with domain and mailbox count: Business ($129/month) covers 75 domains and 300 accounts, Agencies ($199/month) covers 200 domains and 1,000 accounts. Beyond domain count, several separate credit pools meter usage independently: contact verification credits, inbox placement tests, email tests, spam checks, and Spamhaus Intelligence credits, so an agency running many domains can exhaust one pool before another. DMARC monitoring and blacklist checks are unlimited on all paid tiers. Anything past Agencies-tier volume needs a custom quote.
Choose it, or skip it.
Choose it if
- Agencies running cold email for multiple clients across many domains, since the Agencies tier covers 200 domains and 1,000 email accounts under one login.
- Teams that need scheduled inbox placement tests before and during a campaign, not just a one-time check at setup.
- Anyone who wants SPF/DKIM/DMARC lookups, generation, and blacklist monitoring in one dashboard instead of stitching together three separate tools.
- Teams already sending through SmartLead or a similar sequencer who want an independent deliverability check outside the sending tool itself.
Skip it if
- Solo senders on one domain with light volume; the Free plan's 10 email tests and 20 spam checks a month cap out fast once you're testing more than once.
- Teams that want managed inbox setup and warmup done for them; EmailGuard tests and monitors, it doesn't provision or warm mailboxes itself.
- Buyers who need a single flat number for planning; costs move with domain count, email accounts, and several separate credit pools (verification, tests, spam checks, Spamhaus).
If not EmailGuard, then what.
- GlockAppsFree plan available; paid Bundle plans from $59/mo (annual billing) up to $129/mo
Pick this if the priority is placement testing across a wider set of providers with less need for domain-count-based agency tiers.
- Warmyvolume-based pricing across B2B, B2C, and Custom tracks, quoted after a demo call (no published per-mailbox rate); 7-day free trial, no card required
Pick this if warmup itself is the gap, not testing; Warmy focuses on automated warmup rather than placement/authentication auditing.
Asked in real client work.
What's included in the free plan?
One connected domain, 3 email accounts, 50 contact verification credits, weekly blacklist monitoring and authentication checks, 10 email tests, 20 spam checks, and unlimited team members. It excludes domain masking proxies, hosted redirects, and unlimited workspaces, and credits reset monthly rather than accumulating.
How does EmailGuard pricing scale as you add clients or domains?
Paid tiers step up by domain count and email account count together: Pro covers 25 domains and 100 email accounts at $49/month, Business covers 75 domains and 300 accounts at $129/month, and Agencies covers 200 domains and 1,000 accounts at $199/month. Larger needs go to a custom quote.
What counts against the credit pools?
Several usage types are metered separately rather than pooled together: contact verification credits, inbox placement tests, email tests (162 data points per test), spam checks, domain proxies/redirects, and Spamhaus Intelligence credits. DMARC monitoring, blacklist checks, and compliance tests are unlimited on every paid tier.
Does EmailGuard set up or warm inboxes for you?
No. It tests and monitors: inbox placement tests, SPF/DKIM/DMARC lookup and verification, blacklist tracking, and a domain masking proxy for using secondary domains. Inbox provisioning and warmup are handled by separate infrastructure tools; EmailGuard tells you how those inboxes are actually landing.
