Head to head
We are one of the two, so read this knowing who wrote it. DMCA.com is the best-known name in this category and covers every content type there is. The difference that matters for a course creator is not quality, it is what the price is attached to: they charge per site, we charge per course.

Course piracy has a shape. A course leaks once and appears on several download aggregators within weeks, each carrying its own listing page and each pointing at a different file host. Three venues is ordinary; the case we worked most recently had four.
Priced per site, that is three or four managed takedowns. At DMCA.com's entry price of $199 per site, a three-venue course is $597 before anything comes down, and a new listing appearing next month is a new case at a new price.
Priced per course, it is one engagement. Our $79 covers the course wherever it appears, including venues that surface while the case is open, and it is charged only when a listing is de-indexed from Google Search or the file is removed at the host. That difference is worth more than the headline number: it means finding a fourth venue makes your case better rather than more expensive.
They can escalate and we cannot. When a site ignores notices and keeps reposting, their path continues into legal action. Ours stops at notice-and-takedown and search de-indexing. For a case worth litigating, that difference decides it.
The name carries weight. Some hosts and site operators respond differently to a notice from a recognised takedown brand. We cannot measure that, and it would be dishonest to claim it does not exist.
Their DIY tier is the cheapest route on this page. $10 a month for unlimited self-filed notices, with the tooling and templates around it, beats every other option for anyone willing to do the filing. If that is you, buy it.
They cover everything. Photography, video, music, written work, brand abuse, any industry. We do course piracy in one niche.
The price matches how courses leak. One fee, every venue, including the ones we find after you have said yes.
You pay after, not before. A removal counts when the listing is de-indexed from Google Search or the file is removed at the host. If we file and nothing moves, you owe nothing. Nobody else on our comparison page bills this way.
We know this circuit. The aggregators carrying Blender, Cinema 4D and motion-design courses are a small, repeating set, and we file against them often enough to publish removal guides naming each one's actual route. Several publish no removal contact, and knowing that in advance is the difference between a filing and a wasted week.
The scan is free and comes with no commitment. Named sites, live URLs, screenshots. Take it to DMCA.com and get their quote if you want to compare like for like; the findings are yours.
We are new and we offer no SLA. Delister is one person, which cuts both ways and you should know which: the person filing your notices is the person answering your email, and it is also why we do not quote a turnaround we cannot control. We do not do legal escalation, brand-abuse work, or content types outside online courses. Our search de-indexing covers Google today and not Bing, which is a gap we are closing rather than one we are hiding. We do not cover Telegram or Discord: closed channels are not indexed, so nobody discovers your course there by searching for it, and a removal in a private channel is something no service can show you evidence of afterwards.
If your course sits on more than one download aggregator, which is the normal case, per-course pricing costs less and stays predictable as more venues surface. Pick DMCA.com if you need legal escalation, if you want the badge and the brand, or if your problem is wider than course piracy.
Here, $79 for the course regardless of how many sites carry it, charged on a confirmed removal or de-index. Priced per site, three venues is three cases; DMCA.com's managed takedowns start at $199 each with higher tiers for complex ones.
As a deterrent on your own site, it may be. It does nothing about a listing already posted on an aggregator, which still needs a notice at the file host and a search de-index. The two are not substitutes.
If you are going to sit down and file, yes, that is the cheapest sensible route and we will say so. Our per-site guides are free and cover the exact venues in this niche, so use those alongside it. The reason people hire this out is that it is repetitive and the files come back.
A listing is de-indexed from Google Search, or the file is removed at the host. Either one, per course. That is the definition we bill against, and you can verify both yourself.
Before you buy a per-site quote from anyone, find out how many sites you are dealing with. The scan is free, runs live on the page, and the verified report with URLs and screenshots follows by email. No obligation, and the report is yours to take anywhere.
