## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-04 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Start with the free layer (genuinely worth doing first)
> 
> **Google Alerts + Amazon Brand Registry** - Zero cost. Brand Registry's Report a Violation tool is the single highest-leverage thing an Amazon seller can do, and it's free once you have a registered trademark. Most small businesses skip this and pay someone else to do a worse version of it.
> 
> ## Trademark watch (the core service)
> 
> 1. **Markify** - My default recommendation. It has the best similarity algorithm in the category (catches confusingly-similar marks, not just exact matches), covers ~190 registers globally, and basic packages start around $39/year. Low noise matters more than you'd think - a watch service that floods you with false hits is one you'll stop reading.

> 
> 2. **LegalZoom trademark monitoring** - ~$175/year, USPTO-focused with risk-ranked reports. Worth it if you only care about the US and want plain-English "here's how worried to be" output rather than raw hit lists. Narrower than Markify but easier to act on.
