The Phishmake difference vs GoPhish

No infrastructure to own.

With GoPhish you run the SMTP setup, sending domains, deliverability tuning, and server maintenance — and email landing in spam is your problem. Phishmake handles delivery, custom domains, and infrastructure so simulations reliably reach the inbox.

Templates and training included.

GoPhish ships with no templates and no training content — you build and assign everything yourself. Phishmake gives you a ready library, paste-a-real-email, on-demand templates, and built-in training with completion tracking.

Enterprise essentials built in.

Multi-tenant management, SSO, MFA, and access controls typically require custom development on GoPhish. Phishmake includes them.

Audit trail out of the box.

GoPhish produces no logs or reports for auditors. Phishmake keeps six months of event data and lets you export it as CSV or PDF — the artefacts you'd otherwise build yourself.

Real support.

GoPhish is community-supported. Phishmake includes 24×7×365 live chat.

The honest cost picture.

GoPhish's license is free, but the real cost is internal labor — setup, deliverability, maintenance, template and training creation, and troubleshooting with no vendor to call. Phishmake trades that labor for a predictable per-employee subscription.
Honest counter

Is GoPhish the better fit for you?

If you're a penetration tester, red teamer, or a technical team with the capacity to self-host, you want maximum control and zero licensing cost, and you don't need built-in training, reporting artefacts, or vendor support, GoPhish is a solid, flexible choice. If you want a complete, managed program with exportable audit trails, Phishmake is the better match.
