Core difference
The core difference lies in their operational scale, automation capabilities, and ideal target audience. Red Points is built for scalability at the enterprise level, whereas Corsearch relies more heavily on analyst hours for offline-first capabilities.
- Red Points — Best for global brands seeking scalable protection, with expert enforcement and dedicated support. Red Points provides fully managed, AI-led brand protection across marketplaces, social media, websites, domains, ads, and apps. Its IP-Ops specialists continuously refine detection logic, enforcement rules, and seller strategies — so protection adapts as threats evolve, without requiring active management from your team. It combines operational maturity with scalable technology to protect brands of all sizes, including a strong footprint of enterprise brands (30% of its client base).
- Corsearch — Best for traditional brand protection teams looking for a single offline-first IP solution, without speed or scalability needs. Founded in 1949, Corsearch offers full trademark lifecycle management, from registration to offline investigations and raids overseas, and it focuses on mid-market to enterprise companies. Corsearch traditionally operated with a service model instead of SaaS, so its packages and pricing are more dependent on analyst hours. Today, Corsearch offers Corsearch Zeal 2.0 as its AI-powered brand protection platform, the second version of its brand protection platform (the first was launched in 2024), which follows after the merger of several brand protection companies acquired in the last 5 years (YellowBP, PointerBP, Incropro, Navee).
Detection & monitoring
Red Points features include:
- Monitors intellectual property across 5,000+ digital platforms including marketplaces, social media, websites, ads, and emerging AI commerce channels
- Provides real-time detection and enforcement across online environments
- Uses cross-channel intelligence to connect related infringements across platforms
- Applies automated seller clustering to identify networks of infringers instead of treating listings individually
- Powered by 2.7B+ monthly data points, enabling large-scale detection and prioritization
Corsearch features include:
- Screen potential trademarks, clear a trademark for viability, and monitor similar trademark registrations.
- Remove counterfeits, stop impersonation, and deter gray market sellers.
- Register and protect domain names from cybersquatting and misuse.
- Corsearch can take offline action to stop counterfeiters through investigation, raids, and more.
- Protect books, games, digital content, and more from piracy.
Enforcement & scalability
Red Points offers unlimited takedowns across all channels. The platform is designed to handle high enterprise volumes without bottlenecks; every case is risk-scored and refined through AI and expert oversight. Crucially, enforcement is never capped by analyst hours or credit systems, ensuring consistent protection even during seasonal spikes in infringement.
Corsearch relies more heavily on manual analyst-led workflows, which limits scalability for fast-growing organizations. Enforcement is often capped depending on the number of review days or analyst hours consumed in your specific package.
Customer experience & support
Red Points acts as an extension of your team. Every protection program is fully managed by an assigned Customer Success Manager and an implementation specialist, ensuring priority escalation paths for complex cases without extra costs. Red Points also utilizes a contingency-based Revenue Recovery Program designed to freeze assets and recover revenue through high-scale, self-funded litigation.
Corsearch is highly suited for legal teams heavily focused on trademark registration and traditional offline legal action. Clients can change the scope of the work if the problem tends to move often from one region to another. It also recently released a Revenue Recovery Program and provides reports formatted specifically for offline investigations.
Pricing model
Red Points uses a flat-fee model that includes unlimited detections and takedowns by channel. This provides ultimate cost predictability for large enterprise and fast-growing brands, as the price does not randomly surge with the volume of enforcement required to clear the market.
Corsearch has variable pricing depending on intelligence hours, analyst hours, package, and other criteria. Corsearch tends to be a bit more expensive than equivalent services because its model depends heavily on manual analyst work, which increases both cost and operational constraints.
