Scoring Model
What Goes Into a Score
Each provider is measured across these six areas. Weights reflect what matters most to working creators.
Platform Reach
25%How many sites, forums, messaging apps, and search engines does the service actually scan? We count blind spots.
Removal Speed
20%Median time from first detection to confirmed removal. Measured with real test content, not provider claims.
Filing Accuracy
15%Do notices actually stick? We track rejections, counter-notices, and re-uploads to measure real-world effectiveness.
Cost Efficiency
15%What you get per dollar at each tier. A $30 plan that covers tube sites well can outscore a $150 plan with gaps.
Creator Experience
15%Onboarding clarity, dashboard usability, mobile access, and how much manual work the creator still has to do.
Response Quality
10%We contact support with realistic questions and grade on reply time, technical depth, and follow-through.
Our Process
The Testing Playbook
Same protocol, every provider, every quarter. No exceptions.
Pay Full Price
Every provider is purchased at retail. No press trials, no courtesy accounts, no early access. Same signup flow you'd get.
Seed Known Content
We place watermarked test files across tube sites, leak forums, Telegram channels, and indexed pages — then wait.
Log 38 Data Points
Detection latency, filing accuracy, removal confirmation time, platform coverage gaps, support reply quality — all timestamped.
Re-run Every Quarter
Providers ship updates. Platforms change policies. We re-run the full battery so scores reflect what's true right now.
From Real Creators
In Their Own Words
My content was on 30+ sites I'd never heard of. Within two weeks of signing up, every one had a removal notice filed. The peace of mind alone is worth it.
