How much does brand protection cost? Published prices compared

Published brand protection prices for small brands start between $99 and $199 a month, and climb past $800 once per-marketplace pricing covers every marketplace. What you pay depends on whether a provider counts trademarks, marketplaces or products. The enterprise vendors don't publish prices at all. Below is every published price we could find, with the link and the date we checked it, so you can compare like with like.

What do brand protection tools cost?

All prices in US dollars, per month unless stated, from each provider's own page on 4 November 2026. Links are in the sources at the end.

What makes the price go up?

Four things, and every provider picks a different one to charge for:

• Trademarks. Charging per trademark makes sense for a company with a portfolio. For a small brand with one name it's mostly a floor price.
• Marketplaces. The common one. It looks cheap until a seller you've removed turns up somewhere you didn't pay for.
• Products and frequency. How many items are watched and how often they're checked. This is what actually drives the work, so it's what we charge for.
• People. Enterprise contracts often include analysts who review and file for you. That's real value, and it's most of the cost.

Why don't Corsearch and BrandShield publish prices?

Both sell mainly to large companies, and both route new buyers to a demo. When we checked on 4 November 2026, neither had a pricing page: corsearch.com/pricing and brandshield.com/pricing both returned a 404. We can't tell you what they charge, and we won't guess. If you get a quote, compare it on the same basis as the table above: what's counted, which platforms, and who does the filing.

What does doing it yourself cost?

No subscription, just time. Searching each marketplace for your photos, deciding which listings are copies, filling in each platform's form and checking back later. For a few listings a year, that's the right answer. Use our guides on writing a DMCA notice and where to report. The cost shows up when copies arrive every week and the same sellers keep relisting.

Who files the takedowns?

It differs, and it matters. Red Points says it reports listings to the platforms for you. IP Moat offers one-click removal requests. Brand Protector drafts takedown packages for you. We prepare each notice with the evidence and the right form, and you file it.

That last step is deliberate. The person who files a notice is the complainant, the statement that you're authorized to act is made under penalty of perjury, and the seller may see who complained. We think that decision should stay with you. It also keeps the price down. If you'd rather hand off filing completely, a managed service is the better fit, and you should expect to pay more for it.

How we priced ours

Three plans at $99, $249 and $499 a month. They differ only in how many products we watch (10, 50 or 200), how often we look, and how many people can log in. Every plan covers every platform we support and prepares unlimited notices. The details are on the pricing page.
