Match brand protection to the work your team needs done.
A wider platform earns its cost when you use the wider scope. Recon is the focused option for the customer-facing trust around a Shopify brand.
Five questions decide this, not a feature count.
- 01 If yes → Enterprise platform
Are marketplaces, social platforms or executives part of the problem?
Recon does not look at any of them. It reads one domain and the customer path around it.
- 02 If yes → Enterprise platform
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. Enterprise platform 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?
Enterprise platform quotes on scope. Recon is $50 a month after a free scan.
Choose Enterprise platform

The same answers, as a table
Enterprise platform fits when
- Marketplace and social abuse are part of the brief
- Several brands, executives, or domain portfolios are involved
- Managed or automated enforcement is required
- A legal, fraud, or security team will operate the platform
Recon fits when
- The customer path around one Shopify brand is the scope
- Email authentication and store clones need one view
- The merchant will review and send abuse reports
- A public scan and a published monthly price reduce buying friction
Enterprise platform and Recon questions
When is an enterprise brand-protection platform the right choice?
Use one when marketplaces, social platforms, apps, executive impersonation, portfolio-wide enforcement, or managed takedowns are required. Those are real needs that Recon does not cover.
What does Recon cover instead?
Recon checks email authentication, lookalike domains, store clones, redirects, checkout paths, certificates, public threat lists, security headers, and DNS infrastructure around a Shopify brand.
Does Recon perform managed enforcement?
No. Recon prepares evidence and an abuse-reporting message. The merchant reviews and sends it.
Should annual revenue determine the choice?
No. Scope and operating model are better criteria. A smaller brand with heavy marketplace abuse may need an enterprise vendor. A large Shopify-first brand may only need Recon’s focused surfaces.
Recon keeps watch. You run your store.
