LegalBrandGuard vs Red Points: which one to choose against fake sites?

Updated on August 10, 2026 · LegalBrandGuard

Quick answer

Red Points is the only one of the six major providers reviewed to publish pricing, and no service starts before a Master Services Agreement is signed. LegalBrandGuard charges €99 excl. VAT per fake site, with no contract to sign.

The two offerings do not cover the same scope: LegalBrandGuard sells a one-off takedown per fake site, Red Points a continuous monitoring subscription across several channels. The figures below are given for information, verified as of the dates indicated and subject to change — this is not a comparison of two strictly identical products.

What the Red Points model covers

Red Points' self-serve configurator goes beyond fake websites: it offers per-marketplace monitoring options, billed separately and with no setup fee. It is an offering built for broad, continuous monitoring, not for a single isolated fake-site case — see the configurator itself in the sources for the full list of options.

The real, integrated Stripe payment flow is, on this specific point, more advanced than most of the competitors reviewed, which have no online purchase flow at all.

The point that most sets the two offerings apart: the Master Services Agreement

Red Points' self-serve form includes a mandatory checkbox, quoted here in full: « I acknowledge that commencement of the Services is subject to the execution of a Master Services Agreement, which will be provided to me following verification of the information submitted above. No Services will be initiated until the Master Services Agreement has been duly signed by both parties. »

In practice: paying by card is not enough to start the service. A separate contract then has to be received, read, and signed, with no guaranteed timeframe for this step. At LegalBrandGuard, there is no separate master agreement: payment triggers the case directly.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Red Points’ "fake websites" option cost?+
$745/month, on top of the "Brand Protection Plan" base tier at $938/month — both figures are read directly from the pricing simulator published on redpoints.com/self-serve/, which also offers other options billed separately. LegalBrandGuard charges €99 excl. VAT per fake site, with no base tier and no add-ons.
Does Red Points have real online payment?+
Yes, in part: a 5-step flow with an actual Stripe card field. But a mandatory checkbox warns that no service starts before a Master Services Agreement is signed, sent after the submitted information is verified. At LegalBrandGuard, the case starts at payment, with no separate contract to sign.
Does Red Points publish a money-back guarantee?+
No, verified on August 10, 2026 on its Pricing and Self-Serve pages and its full pricing FAQ. The only mention found is "no fees will be charged until contract signing" — a billing delay, not a results commitment.
Does the Red Points website exist in French?+
No. The language selector offers English, Spanish, and German (via WPML), but no French or Italian version. LegalBrandGuard is natively in French.
Does Red Points have an office in France?+
No. The offices listed are in Barcelona (headquarters), New York, Salt Lake City, and Beijing — none in France, verified on its contact page.
Is there a "hidden minimum" at Red Points?+
Several third-party "Red Points alternative" pages circulate a $1,250/month minimum. This figure could not be found on a primary or verifiable source and is therefore not repeated here. The only amounts verified directly in the official configurator are the ones cited above.
Is Red Points billed in euros?+
No, in US dollars, with no indication on the page of whether tax is included. LegalBrandGuard bills in euros excluding VAT, with the amount displayed clearly.
