Quoted text in the AdPolice column is theirs; the number links to the page it was read from. “Not published” means we looked for it on the pages listed below and did not find it, not that it does not exist. Guarantee on the AdCrime side: Entry: full refund within 30 days, no questions. Pro and Enterprise: unused checks refunded within 30 days; full refund if nothing confirmed.
Where AdPolice is the better fit
AdPolice is the better fit for a large advertiser that wants enforcement done for it. Its pages describe automated takedowns to search engines and to affiliate networks at the push of a button, escalation by cover letter and through law firms, checks every minute around the clock, more than twenty engines and platforms including Yandex, Baidu and Naver, and 107 countries on its own infrastructure. It has been dealing with brand bidding since 2008 and its customer wall reads Zalando, Sephora, Sixt, TUI, Adobe. It also states "entire transfer chain detection including partner ID", so on the account behind the ad the two products make the same claim.
Where AdCrime is the better fit
AdCrime is the better fit for a program that wants to hold the evidence itself and start today. Its free scan returns a case file within 24 hours where AdPolice's free analysis takes three to five working days; its prices are on the site; and every case lists screenshots of both ends with the timestamp, the full redirect chain and the publisher account, where AdPolice's pages name the chain and the partner ID but not screenshots or timestamps. AdCrime adds the recovery clock, the bidders view and coupon-leak monitoring by channel, and a 30-day guarantee on every plan. On engines, countries and automation, AdPolice states more; on what you can see, verify and file yourself, AdCrime states more.
What we could not verify
- Prices: not published on adpolice.com; the $199 flat-rate starting price is Capterra's listing.
- Whether the evidence includes screenshots or timestamps: no such wording on the pages we read.
- The country figure appears as 107 on one page and "over 130" on another.
If you work at AdPolice and a line here is wrong or out of date, write to mario@adcrime.com with the page that says otherwise and we will change it the same week.
