Marcode facts read from marcode.ai and public listings on 4 September 2026
The short version
- 01Marcode is the enterprise pick: SOC 2 Type II, a Rakuten partnership, complaints filed automatically, checks up to 20 times an hour. Prices are not on its site; Capterra lists a starting price of $850 a month.
- 02AdCrime publishes its prices ($149 to $999), starts with a free scan, states its 16 markets, and lists exactly what is in a case file: chain, landing page, screenshots, the publisher account on six networks.
- 03If procurement asks for an attestation and a network-native workflow, Marcode. If you want the evidence itself, a published price and a scan today, AdCrime.

Quoted text in the Marcode 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 Marcode is the better fit
Marcode is the better fit for a program that buys through procurement. It is SOC 2 Type II certified, it is a named Rakuten Advertising partner, it lists Awin, Partnerize, Impact and Rakuten as integrations, and its pages describe complaints filed with Google automatically and commissions cancelled through those integrations. It also monitors browser-extension abuse, which AdCrime does not, and states a check cadence of up to 20 times per hour, faster than any AdCrime plan. Its customer wall is large brands: Wayfair, Next, New Balance, Urban Outfitters.
Where AdCrime is the better fit
AdCrime is the better fit when you want to see the evidence before you buy, and to know the price before you talk to anyone. Marcode's pages describe the evidence as complete and indisputable without listing its parts; AdCrime's case file lists them: the ad, the full redirect chain, the landing page, screenshots of both ends, and the publisher account decoded on six networks. AdCrime states its markets (16), its cadence per plan, and its prices, and every plan starts with a free scan that returns a case file within 24 hours. It also shows the date your network's reversal window closes and tracks the coupon codes you issued by channel.
What we could not verify
- Which countries Marcode checks: not stated on the pages we read.
- Whether the evidence includes the redirect chain, screenshots or a publisher account ID: the pages say "complete, indisputable evidence" and "affiliate details" without naming the parts.
- Prices: the site has no pricing page (the URL redirects to the affiliate-hijacking page); the $850 starting price is Capterra's listing, not Marcode's site.
If you work at Marcode 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.
