Pixsy alternatives: how Takedown and others compare

What they have in common

Last updated: 14 Oct 2026. At a high level, both find copies of a brand online and get them taken down. Specifically:

• Both have their own team file the reports for you.
• Both publish their prices.
• Both offer a free trial, scan or report before you pay.

That said, they differ on who does the work, what each covers and price. Where each one is the better buy is set out below, Takedown first.

How Takedown works

Managed. A person checks every match, you approve each case, and our team files with the platform, host and registrar. Nothing is filed until you approve the case.

• Copycat websites and lookalike domains: Yes. Lookalike domains, certificate logs, Google search and reverse image search.
• Marketplace listings: Yes. Amazon in 9 storefronts (US, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, SE, PL), eBay in 8 (US, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, CA, AU), AliExpress, Alibaba, Temu, TikTok Shop, DHgate and Chrono24, plus any marketplace where Google Lens finds your product photos.
• Social media accounts: Yes. Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube and Threads accounts using your brand name.
• Paid ads: Yes. Meta ads, and TikTok ads shown in the EU and UK.
• Trademark filing watch: Partly. US (USPTO) applications and registrations using your brand name, in your goods classes. Not the EUIPO or UKIPO.
• App stores: No

Price: From $500 a month, month to month with no annual lock-in; the quote comes with a free 360° report.

How Pixsy works

Reverse-image monitoring finds where your images are used, and Pixsy's team issues takedowns or pursues compensation on a no win, no fee basis. Pixsy says it is built for photographers and creators whose images are reused online; for brands it covers stolen product photos, not counterfeit listings. With Pixsy, its team files the reports for you.

• Copycat websites and lookalike domains: Partly. Image reuse across the web.
• Marketplace listings: Not stated on its site
• Social media accounts: Not stated on its site
• Paid ads: Not stated on its site
• Trademark filing watch: Not stated on its site
• App stores: Not stated on its site

Price: Free tier monitors up to 500 images; paid monthly tiers exist but their prices were not shown on the page read. Case resolution costs 50% of recovered compensation (no win, no fee). Free offer: Free plan monitoring up to 500 images.

Where Takedown is the better buy

You want sign-off on everything filed in your name. At Takedown a person checks every match, and nothing is filed under your brand until you approve the case. That keeps control of what goes to marketplaces, hosts and registrars under your trademark, with the evidence for each case in front of whoever approves it.

You want month-to-month terms. Takedown is month to month with no annual lock-in, from $500 a month, and the quote comes with a free 360° report of what is copying your brand now. Pixsy's site does not state its contract terms.

You want matches checked before they reach you. Pixsy leaves reviewing matches to you. At Takedown a person checks every match first, so the approval queue holds real copies with evidence attached, not raw alerts.

You want new trademark filings watched. Takedown watches US (USPTO) applications and registrations that use your brand name in your goods classes, and puts the recent ones up for review first. Pixsy's site does not mention a trademark filing watch.

Where Pixsy is the better buy

Compensation, not just removal. Besides takedowns, its team pursues compensation for unlicensed use on a no win, no fee basis, keeping 50% of what it recovers. A brand whose product photography is used commercially without permission can recover money instead of only getting the image taken down.

Free monitoring. The free tier monitors up to 500 images, which covers the hero shots of many small catalogues. You can see where your photography is being reused before deciding whether to pay for a plan or open a case.

No up-front case fees. Compensation cases cost nothing unless money is recovered, so pursuing a commercial user of your images carries no legal bill. It says it has managed 250,000 infringement cases, so the process is an established one rather than a new service.

Best Pixsy alternatives in 2026

Takedown and the closest substitutes for Pixsy, from what each says on its own site (read 14 Oct 2026).

Limits to know about

• Takedown: Its trademark watch covers US (USPTO) filings only. Brand Protector also watches the EUIPO, and Corsearch sells worldwide clearance and watch.
• Takedown: Social accounts are found by searching each platform for your brand name, so an account that never uses the name is missed, and Pinterest is not searched.
• Takedown: Etsy, Walmart and SHEIN are not searched directly; copies there are found through reverse image search.
• Pixsy: It is aimed at photographers and creators; counterfeit products and marketplace listings are not what it says it covers.
• Pixsy: Prices for the paid monthly tiers were not shown on the page we read.
• Pixsy: Compensation cases cost 50% of whatever is recovered.

Switching from Pixsy

1. 1

   Export your open cases

   Ask Pixsy for the list of open and recently filed reports, with the evidence for each. Platforms track reports per rights owner, so cases already filed stay valid.

2. 2

   Sign a letter of authorisation

   It lets our team file on your brand's behalf with marketplaces, hosts and registrars. It names Takedown as your agent and nothing else.

3. 3

   Add your trademarks and official stores

   So we can cite registrations in reports and never flag your own domains, marketplace stores or authorised resellers.

4. 4

   Approve the first cases

   We re-check the open copies from your export and new matches from the first scan. You approve each case before anything is filed.
