Red Sift Brand Trust 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 cover copycat websites and lookalike domains.
• 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 Red Sift Brand Trust works

Software that detects lookalike domains and logo misuse, with help on takedowns. Red Sift Brand Trust says it is built for security and IT teams, particularly those already using Red Sift OnDMARC for email authentication. With Red Sift Brand Trust, you file on some platforms and its team files on others.

• Copycat websites and lookalike domains: Yes. Lookalike domains and logo misuse.
• 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: Not published. Free offer: Free security tools (Radar Lite, Investigate, BIMI and SPF checkers) and a self-serve sign-up.

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 a price before a sales call. Takedown starts at $500 a month, month to month with no annual lock-in, and the quote comes with a free 360° report of what is copying your brand now. Red Sift Brand Trust does not publish a price.

You want the filing done for you. With Red Sift Brand Trust, you file on some platforms yourself. Takedown's team files with the platform, host and registrar once you approve the case. You approve; you do not fill in forms.

You want matches checked before they reach you. Red Sift Brand Trust 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.

Where Red Sift Brand Trust is the better buy

Email and domains together. Brand Trust sits beside OnDMARC, its DMARC product, so the same team can stop email spoofing and find lookalike domains that imitate the brand. That suits companies whose impersonation risk starts in the inbox rather than on a marketplace.

Logo detection. It detects logo misuse on lookalike sites, and publishes a Bird & Bird case study about reducing lookalike domain takedowns by 75% with AI-powered logo detection. Pages that copy a logo without the brand name are hard to catch by text alone.

Free tools. It offers free tools including Radar Lite security scans, Investigate, and BIMI and SPF checkers, plus a self-serve sign-up. A security team can test the vendor and check its own domains before any sales conversation.

Switching from Red Sift Brand Trust

1. 1

   Export your open cases

   Ask Red Sift Brand Trust 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.
