- • Your anti-phishing budget is $3K–$15K/year, not $50K+
- • You want customers to report copies to you — a report page under your name, not a mailbox
- • You want public pricing, self-serve signup, and monthly card billing with no annual contract
- • You want the interface, documentation and support in English, Japanese or Chinese
FAQ
- Is Axur a direct competitor to OpenBait?
- Only partially. Axur is an enterprise-grade Digital Risk Protection (DRP) platform: dark web, domains, social, mobile apps, paid ads, CT logs — a broad intelligence suite. OpenBait covers the part after a copy is found: a report page under your brand's name that customers use, and the filings to browser blocklists, hosting providers and registrars, each kept on the case record. Axur is much broader. OpenBait is narrower and doesn't try to match it.
- How does Axur's pricing compare to OpenBait's?
- Axur uses quote-only enterprise pricing, typically $3K–$5K/month entry for small accounts and $8K–$15K/month for mid-sized deployments (based on public third-party estimates). OpenBait publishes pricing: Free / $299 / $499 / $899 per month. Pro, at $299/month, covers what a mid-market company needs for roughly a tenth of Axur's entry price.
- What does OpenBait have that Axur does not?
- Four things. (1) Canary tokens embedded in your legitimate site that fire when attackers clone it — Axur does not ship this deception capability. (2) A public report page under your brand's name, so customers can hand you the copies they find instead of writing to a phishing@ mailbox. (3) A Japanese UI — Axur has no Japan presence (EN/ES/PT localization only). (4) Self-serve signup and public pricing; Axur is demo-gated.
- When should I pick Axur over OpenBait?
- If your primary need is broad digital-risk intelligence across dark web, paid advertising monitoring, and enterprise-scale brand incident services with dedicated account management, and your budget supports $50K+/year contracts, Axur is a credible choice. If your need is mid-market anti-phishing response — lookalike detection + user protection + takedown automation — at transparent pricing, OpenBait is built for you.
