Head to head

Delister vs DMCA Masters.

We are one of the two, so read this knowing who wrote it. DMCA Masters is the most established done-for-you takedown service aimed at course creators, and there are situations where they are the better buy. Here is where the line falls, with their pricing quoted from their own page.

The difference is what happens in a quiet month.

Both services do the same underlying work: find the listing, find the file host holding the archive, file at both, and get the page out of search. The split is in how you pay for it.

DMCA Masters is a retainer. At $89 per month for one product, a year is $1,068, and you owe it in the months when nothing leaks as well as the months when five things do. That is the ordinary trade for continuous coverage and it is how almost every service in this category is priced.

Delister is $79 per course, charged once, and charged only when something comes down. 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, and there is no month two.

Where DMCA Masters wins.

They will commit to a response time and we will not. Their 48-hour SLA, backed by a free month if they miss it, is a contractual promise about turnaround. We do not offer one, because a solo operator promising 48 hours across hosts that answer on their own schedule would be selling something we cannot control.

They have volume history. They state north of 50,000 takedowns. We started in 2026 and our case count is in the low tens. If you want the vendor who has seen the most edge cases, that is them, and no amount of pricing cleverness changes it.

They cover the mainstream platforms. Their positioning is Udemy, Teachable and Kajabi. Ours is the aggregator circuit that carries Blender, Cinema 4D and motion-design material, the sites we file against often enough to publish step-by-step removal guides for them. If your leaks land outside that circuit, their breadth is the safer bet.

They escalate at the payment layer. They offer payment-processor complaints against repeat infringers who sell your material. We file notice-and-takedown and de-index requests, and we stop there.

Where we win.

You find out what is out there before you decide anything. Our scan is free, runs on the page, and the follow-up report names every site with live URLs and screenshots. Take that report to DMCA Masters if you prefer them; the findings are yours either way.

The fee follows the result. Nobody else on our comparison page bills on outcome. The reason is structural rather than mysterious: a subscription business that added pay-on-success would undercut its own recurring revenue. We are small enough that we can tie the fee to the thing you are buying.

The flat fee covers the whole spread of one course. A single course usually sits on several venues at once, each pointing at a different file host. $79 covers the course across all of them, including anything new that surfaces while we are working the case.

We publish how to check us. Search your exact course title in quotes, click through to the file host, ask for the report ID and its current per-URL status. Those three checks are on our comparison page and they work on any vendor, including us.

What we do not cover, before you ask.

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. 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.

Straight answers.

Which one should I pick?

Count how often new listings appear. If your catalog throws up new leaks most months and you want a contractual turnaround, a subscription is the right shape and DMCA Masters is the strongest one aimed at course creators. If you have one course or a handful, leaks arrive in bursts, and you would rather pay for outcomes than for availability, take the free scan here first and decide with the list in front of you.

Which is cheaper?

For one course cleared once, $79 here beats one month at $89 there, and there is no month two. For ten products leaking every month, their $359 Enterprise tier beats ten $79 cases repeated monthly. The crossover is leak frequency, not catalog size.

Can I use both?

Yes, and for a large catalog it is a reasonable split: a subscription for continuous monitoring of the whole roster, and a per-course engagement when one flagship title gets hit hard across a circuit of sites. Nothing about a DMCA notice is exclusive.

Do you cover courses sold on Udemy, Teachable or Kajabi?

Yes. Where a course was sold does not change the filing work; what changes is where the pirated copy lands. We know the 3D and design aggregator circuit in detail and publish guides for those venues. If your leaks sit somewhere else entirely, say so in the scan request and we will tell you plainly whether we are the right fit.

What counts as a removal here?

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.
