ZeroFox covers everywhere a company is exposed. Recon covers the path to your store.
ZeroFox is built for a company's security program. Recon is built for a store operator who needs clear answers about email, fake storefronts, and domain reputation.
Five questions decide this, not a feature count.
- 01 If yes → ZeroFox
Are marketplaces, social platforms or executives part of the problem?
ZeroFox covers executives, social platforms, the deep and dark web. Recon reads one domain and the customer path around it.
- 02 If yes → ZeroFox
Do you need someone else to file and chase the takedown?
Recon prepares the contact, the message and the evidence. A person on your side sends it.
- 03 If yes → Recon
Does the inbox matter as much as the storefront?
Someone can email your customers as you. Recon checks the records that decide whether a spoofed order confirmation is delivered. ZeroFox does not read them.
- 04 If yes → Recon
Is the scope one Shopify brand rather than a portfolio?
Enterprise platforms are priced and staffed for portfolios. One store rarely justifies the retainer.
- 05 If yes → Recon
Do you need a published price before a sales call?
ZeroFox quotes on assets, seats, takedowns and services. Recon is $50 a month after a free scan.

ZeroFox and Recon questions
Is Recon a ZeroFox replacement?
Only for a narrow Shopify use case. ZeroFox covers far more ground, including executives, social platforms, the deep and dark web, and professional disruption services. Recon does not.
What overlaps between ZeroFox and Recon?
Both address suspicious domains and brand impersonation. Recon adds Shopify-specific storefront checks and email-authentication checks, while ZeroFox extends across many more external channels.
Does ZeroFox publish a standard price?
Its pricing page describes bundles and allowances but directs buyers to request pricing. Ask ZeroFox for a current quote based on assets, seats, takedowns, and services.
Does Recon include a managed response team?
No. Recon prepares evidence and reporting templates. Your team decides what is infringement and sends the report.
Recon keeps watch. You run your store.
