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 quote on request. Among those on this list that publish prices, IP Moat starts around $105 a month, Knockoff is $799 a month, and Red Points' self-serve checkout has a $1,250 monthly minimum.
