Software that alerts you, a managed team that files for you, or something in between.
Marketplaces, social, ads, clone stores, or Asian platforms. Coverage differs a lot.
A portal, an account manager, or a shared Slack channel.
Most vendors price by scope. Ask what the price gets you: software and self-service tools, or a team that does the work.
The options.

Run a free scan. We'll show you every copycat we find, even if you don't hire us.
Tools and services that find copies of your products, photos, name and logo online, and get them removed: counterfeits on marketplaces, clone stores, fake social accounts and scam ads.
Software suits teams with time to review and file reports. A managed service suits teams that want it handled. Many vendors offer both; ask who files the reports and who answers when a platform pushes back.
Most vendors price by scope, and some offer self-serve options. The bigger question is what the price gets you: software you run yourself, or a managed service that files, follows up and escalates for you. Bustem is a flat retainer, sized to your brand on a free scan.
