What the vendor is

BranditScan is a copyright enforcement service for adult content, and its studio offer is the part of the business that matters to a site operator. It files takedown notices against unauthorized copies of a studio's titles, asks Google to delist those copies from search results and scans the open web for new ones. The terms name the company as BranditScan Inc. The about page names Jean-Noel Sciretta as CEO and co-founder and describes the company as headquartered in the greater Montreal area, with teams in the United States and Barbados. The listed offices are in Candiac, Quebec, North Miami, Florida, and Saint Michael, Barbados. The company says it has operated since 2011 and that it is a partner in Google's Trusted Copyright Removal Program. The studio page describes the problem the service is built for: a studio's content is spread across paysites, performer brands and marketing channels, and each copy has to be found and handled on its own.

What the studio plans cover

In October 2026 the studio page prices White Glove at $149 per paysite, per month. The page lists what that buys: unlimited DMCA takedowns, unlimited Google delisting, custom studio scans on a daily schedule, 200 performer scans, email reports, a dedicated account specialist, and takedowns and delisting that run automatically. The second plan is labeled Custom and carries no figure; the page describes custom pricing for large catalogs. Its listed features are everything in White Glove plus support for multiple paysites, priority scanning and takedowns, custom API integrations and dedicated engineering support. The studio page frames the whole offer around catalog-wide monitoring, with daily scans across the web and takedowns and delisting running around the clock.

The creator plans, Premium and White Glove, are priced per account rather than per paysite. They describe scanning differently: the pricing page promises hourly AI-powered scans on Premium, while the studio page promises daily custom studio scans. Which cadence applies to a Custom contract is not stated.

The terms that decide the choice

The terms of service, read in October 2026, name the subscription tiers as Premium at $69 a month or $690 a year, and White Glove at $149 a month or $1,490 a year. The per-paysite basis appears only on the studio page. Add-ons, which let a client customize its main scan keywords, cost $5 USD per keyword, are pro-rated to the days left in the billing cycle when they are added, and can be canceled at any time. The pricing FAQ says Premium includes 3 stage names and White Glove includes unlimited ones.

The pricing FAQ says the plans are month-to-month with no long-term contract, and that annual billing saves the equivalent of 2 months. Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled, and the company emails a reminder before each renewal. Cancellation is made from the dashboard with no cancellation fees, and protection continues to the end of the billing period. A 30-day billing pause is offered as an alternative; it starts on the first day of the next billing cycle. Downgrades take effect at the end of the billing period, and an upgrade to White Glove brings a call from the concierge within 24 hours. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or American Express, processed through Stripe.

The refund policy in the terms is narrow. Refunds are offered only on annual plans, only when requested within 10 days of payment and only if the service has not been used. Monthly plans, payments made with coupon codes, cases where a host accepts a valid counterclaim to a takedown, and cases where the host's jurisdiction does not enforce the DMCA are excluded. The terms also let the company terminate any account at its sole discretion.

The terms say the service files takedown notices automatically, and the home page adds that the team follows up and escalates when a host does not act. Escalation runs in multiple rounds to the host that carries the source, and Google delisting runs through the Trusted Copyright Removal Program. The home page FAQ gives timings that are the company's own estimates: compliant sites remove content within 24 to 48 hours and some take up to 7 days, while Google accepts delisting requests within an hour and removes the vast majority from its cache within 24 hours. The terms put responsibility for auto-takedowns on the client: the client manages its safelists and keywords, can switch auto-takedowns off at any time, and the company disclaims any guarantee that every infringement will be found or that every site will comply with a notice.

For a studio that files on behalf of performers, the principal-account clause matters most. Agency and principal accounts may start takedowns only for registered models who have given written authorization, must keep that authorization on file and hand it over on request, and must upload a verification photo of the model holding a sign with name and date when adding a model. A model can withdraw authorization directly with the company, which then stops all takedowns for that model and retracts pending notices. Principals may not use the service to report a model's own accounts or to pursue a contract dispute with a model.

The pages do not publish an acceptable-use policy listing which kinds of adult material the company will decline to protect.

Getting started and support

The studio page invites a studio to book a walkthrough with a dedicated specialist through a calendar on the page, and it offers a free check of a name against the company's database of confirmed pirate sites that needs no signup and takes about 10 seconds. The Custom tier lists custom API integrations and dedicated engineering support, and the footer links an API reference and a platform integration page. Support runs through an email help address and a toll-free phone line. The White Glove plan adds a concierge reachable on WhatsApp or email, who manages scanning, SEO and brand optimization and sends periodic brand briefings.

The free tools page offers a DMCA takedown notice generator, a 2257 records form generator and a model release form generator covering up to 4 models plus a witness. The page says these run in the browser, so names, IDs and signatures are not uploaded. They are presented as creator tools rather than part of a studio contract.

Company and track record

The company claims 15 years in the industry and operation since 2011. It cites an XBIZ Product of the Year award and Google Transparency Report figures it presents as its own record: 380M+ Google delistings, with a false-positive rate it reports from the same source. One of its platform pages says Aylo relies on its piracy data and that it protects the studio brands of Vixen Media Group, and that the company was founded by industry veterans including the founder of ManyVids. Its terms are governed by the laws of Quebec and of Delaware.

Who it suits

BranditScan fits a studio that runs several paysites and wants one takedown and delisting service priced per paysite, with daily catalog scans, performer scans and a named account specialist on White Glove. A large catalog that needs API work and engineering support sits under the Custom tier, where pricing is by quote. A studio that files for its performers has to work within the principal-account rules on written authorization and identity checks. The caveats are a refund policy limited to unused annual plans and no published policy on which adult content the company will decline. The strongest case for the service is Google delisting through the Trusted Copyright Removal Program combined with takedowns that run without manual filing and a per-paysite price the studio page states outright.
