How much does DMCA protection cost? Plans and agency quotes

You can submit your own copyright reports without buying a protection subscription. Paid services charge for recurring discovery, request management and support. Compare the total cost of the plan that covers your leak locations, including any username, creator or submission limits.

DIY reporting and paid support

For a few known URLs, using each platform’s reporting form may be manageable. The cost is the time you spend finding copies, preparing accurate reports and following responses. A free scan may identify potential matches without including automated removal.

For repeated leaks, check scan frequency, platforms, notice limits and support. A low entry price is useful only if that plan covers the work you need. Read the current checkout terms for billing period, taxes and cancellation.

Do DMCA services charge per URL or by subscription?

Fanlock charges a recurring creator subscription: Basic $49, Pro $139 or Max $299 per month in USD. Paid plans include unlimited automated filings within covered platforms, with no per-URL charge for those filings. Manual-submission priority limits vary. The free scan does not include automated removal.

A yearly plan’s displayed monthly equivalent is not a monthly charge. Read the annual total, billing interval and renewal terms at checkout. For a promotional offer, compare the first payment with the recurring price after the promotion ends. Use the pricing page for the current monthly/yearly selection.

Telegram takedowns require Max; Basic covers Google and websites, and Pro adds Bing/Yahoo and social takedowns. An agency roster needs a quote for separate creators. Confirm any separately quoted work before authorizing it.

Compare the billing unit

A stage name, monitored keyword, protected account and creator seat can represent different things. Fanlock’s creator plans cover that creator’s aliases; they are not a flat subscription for any number of separate agency clients.

Provider offerings use different units. Rulta publishes additional username fees; Onsist lists keyword allowances; Ceartas describes per-creator pricing. Use the linked current comparison and provider sources to calculate the relevant plan total.

Prepare a roster quote

For 10, 30 or 100 creators, list the number requiring Telegram, social or search coverage, their aliases, staff access needs and desired reporting format. Request monthly and annual totals, onboarding charges if any, minimum commitments and the effect of roster changes.

These are quote scenarios, not published agency prices. A sample report and a walkthrough of onboarding can reveal whether the service fits your team better than multiplying a solo subscription by the roster size.

What should the quoted price include?

A quote should identify the creators, aliases, platforms, billing interval and any submission limits. Ask whether a stated price covers discovery, filings and follow-up, or a single notice for a known URL.

For separately priced manual work or an agency roster, get the total and scope in writing. A public creator subscription is not a published quote for 10, 30 or 100 creators. Compare like-for-like coverage before choosing the lowest headline price.

Common questions

Are takedowns unlimited on every Fanlock plan?

Paid plans include unlimited automated filings within their covered platforms. The free DIY option does not include automated removal; manual-submission priority limits vary by plan.

Is Telegram included in the $49 plan?

No. Telegram takedowns are included on Max.

Can an agency use one creator’s plan for its whole roster?

Creator plans and stage-name allowances should not be treated as unlimited separate creator seats. Obtain an agency quote for the roster.
