LegalBrandGuard vs ZeroFox: which one to choose against fake sites?

Updated on August 10, 2026 · LegalBrandGuard

Quick answer

ZeroFox sells four annual plans priced by takedown volume (100 to 1,000 per year), with no public price and a contractual commitment over the year. LegalBrandGuard charges 99 € excl. VAT per fake site, on a pay-per-case basis, with no tier and no minimum term to estimate up front.

Careful

An annual plan is only a poor deal if the volume handled stays low: beyond a certain number of takedowns per year, it becomes more economical than pay-per-case billing. Compare against your own volume, not against the principle of a subscription.

How ZeroFox's allotment works

Each ZeroFox plan covers a number of takedowns per year, not a number of months of monitoring. The mechanism is precise, verbatim from the published pricing FAQ: “A takedown only counts toward your allotment once it's successfully completed. Requests that are denied, require additional evidence, are already inactive (“down on arrival”), or receive no response from the provider do not count against your total.”

This is a billing clause that favors the customer in principle — it does not penalize a takedown that fails for reasons outside their control. It is not, however, a results guarantee: nothing indicates what happens if a paid-for takedown never succeeds, beyond it not being deducted from the quota.

The only provider to bill natively in euros

Of the six providers reviewed, ZeroFox is the only one to explicitly publish the euro among its accepted currencies (alongside USD, GBP, CAD, SGD). That is a signal of commercial presence in the eurozone that the other five do not display — without it coming with an office in France or a site in French.

Frequently asked questions

What plans does ZeroFox offer?+
Four, each with a number of takedowns included per year: Foundation (250/year), Core (500/year), Premium (1,000/year), Executive (100/year). No amount is published for any of the four — every plan shows a "Request Pricing" button. LegalBrandGuard charges 99 € excl. VAT per fake site, with no tier and no annual volume to estimate up front.
What happens if ZeroFox's annual volume is exceeded?+
According to ZeroFox's published pricing FAQ, it remains possible to keep submitting takedowns beyond the plan by purchasing additional takedowns until the end of the contract year. That is an adjustment mechanism within an annual commitment, not a pay-per-use model.
Does a failed takedown count against the ZeroFox plan?+
No, according to the published verbatim: a takedown only counts toward the quota once it is "successfully completed." Requests that are denied, require additional evidence, are already inactive on submission, or receive no response from the provider are not counted. This is a billing rule, not a refund guarantee — none is published elsewhere by ZeroFox.
Does ZeroFox bill in euros?+
Yes, and that sets it apart from the other providers reviewed: its pricing FAQ states it accepts USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, and SGD. It is the only one of the six to explicitly display a euro billing option. LegalBrandGuard bills natively in euros.
Does ZeroFox have an office in France?+
No. Its declared offices are in Baltimore (headquarters), London, Santiago, Chile, and Bangalore — none in France or continental Europe, as verified on its contact page.
Does the ZeroFox site exist in French?+
No. The site is in English (`lang="en"`), with no alternate hreflang tag. LegalBrandGuard is natively in French.
Is an annual commitment a problem for handling a single fake site?+
It depends on actual volume. An annual plan becomes cost-effective beyond a certain number of takedowns per year; for a brand handling a one-off case, it charges for capacity that largely goes unused. LegalBrandGuard's pay-per-case billing avoids that calculation.
