Line by line
| Vorys (eControl / Internet Defamation Practice) | DefendMyRep | |
|---|---|---|
| What you are buying | Large full-service law firm whose eControl group litigates online reputation attacks alongside broader e-commerce enforcement. | A measured engagement across the whole reputation surface: search results, review and complaint platforms, and the AI answer layer, run as one protocol. |
| Pricing transparency | No public rate card. No published rates for eControl or internet-defamation work; engagement terms and hourly rates are negotiated directly with the client. | Scoped one-to-one on the strategy call against your actual surface. No pre-packaged retainer, and the number is on the engagement letter before you sign. |
| Contract | Check the term and the termination clause before signing. Long minimums are standard in this category. | Month-to-month. If the protocol is not moving the posterior, you leave. |
| Coverage of the AI answer layer | Not in scope for this product category. | Generative Engine Optimization plus AI Citation Defense: we work the sources the models actually cite, then re-measure what the answer says. |
| How progress is reported | Vendor dashboard or a monthly report in the vendor’s own scoring language. | A published Bayesian baseline and posterior. You see the model, not a colour-coded concern level. |
| Biggest honest limitation | Internet defamation is no longer the practice's primary branding, it is folded into the broader eControl brand-enforcement group, so a prospective defamation client should confirm current case focus before engaging | We are not the cheapest line item, and we decline matters where a $99 subscription genuinely solves the problem. |
