The problem

You'd be the last to know if someone cloned your game

New games ship daily across four major stores. Some will look like yours—same art style, same mechanics, same audience. By the time you find out, they've already captured your players and your revenue.

What to expect

What this does

This tool will:

  • Scan app stores daily for visually and mechanically similar games
  • Surface new releases that overlap with your game
  • Show side-by-side comparisons with similarity scores
  • Give you a running history of what ships in your space
  • Generate data packages you can use however you choose

This tool won't:

  • File DMCA takedowns or legal actions for you
  • Replace legal counsel for intellectual property disputes
  • Block or prevent other games from being published
  • Make judgments—it surfaces data, you decide what matters

This is a market monitoring tool. It gives you ongoing visibility into similar games shipping across stores. What you do with that information—whether it's adjusting your marketing, informing your roadmap, or taking action on a copycat—is up to you.

FAQ

Questions

Will I get false positives?

Some. Every match shows a similarity score and side-by-side screenshots, so reviewing takes seconds.

Can I use the data for DMCA filings?

Yes. Export packages include screenshots, metadata, and timestamps. The tool doesn't file for you, but it gives you what you need if you choose to.

My game isn't on a store yet.

Upload screenshots directly. Monitoring works the same way regardless of whether your game is published.

Why so cheap compared to enterprise tools?

Enterprise platforms handle thousands of trademarks globally. This does one thing: monitor game stores for releases that look like yours.

Why this exists

The hardest part of dealing with clones isn't filing a DMCA. It's finding out the clone exists in the first place. Most devs discover clones months late, by accident.

This tool closes that gap. It won't stop clones from appearing, but it means you'll know within 24 hours instead of months.
