Short answer
ChainPatrol detects and takes down phishing for you, blocks domains in 20+ wallets and works on annual contracts after a demo and a signed Letter of Authorization. FakeWatch is self-serve: sign up, add your project and get alerts the same day, from USD 0 a month. It prepares reports instead of filing them for you.

Where ChainPatrol is stronger
- Takedowns are done for you. Its team files the reports; you do not have to.
- Wallet blocking. Direct integrations get a domain blocked in many wallets within minutes, which FakeWatch cannot do.
- Scale. Its homepage lists 250K+ threats reported and customers such as Arbitrum Foundation, Starknet and Curve Finance.
Where FakeWatch is different
- No sales process. Prices are public, you can start free and pay monthly in stablecoins.
- Self-serve. One project from USD 99 a month, with ready reports so sending one takes a minute.
- Your own channels. Telegram and Discord bots flag fake admins and scam links inside your community, and a public verification page lists your real links.
- Clone tokens. DEX tokens that copy your name or ticker are part of every plan.
