Comparison

NumberBroom vs. The Blacklist Alliance

How is NumberBroom different from The Blacklist Alliance?

The Blacklist Alliance's cheapest published entry point is a $300 one-time scrub block, working out to $0.03 per number — and every one of its pricing pages is marked noindex, nofollow, so the figures aren't discoverable through search. NumberBroom's price is $0.20 per number, $5 minimum, published on the site and shown before you pay.

The Blacklist Alliance is one of the three vendors practitioners name by default when asked how to scrub a list, alongside DNC.com and TCPA Litigator List. Its own homepage names DNC.com, Gryphon and PossibleNOW directly as the field it's positioned against — a level of confidence backed by roughly 1,000 published clients. What it doesn't do is make its own pricing easy to find.

The unit economics at scale genuinely favor Blacklist Alliance — their largest one-time block, 500,000 scrubs for $2,250, works out to under half a cent per number, well below NumberBroom's flat $0.20. The gap that matters for a smaller operator is the floor: $300 minimum spend to start at all, against a $5 minimum here, and no way to find either number without navigating directly to a page Google isn't allowed to show you.

Why noindex a pricing page?

There are legitimate reasons a company keeps pricing out of search — controlling how a number gets framed for a first-time visitor, avoiding a stale price lingering in a cached search result, or simply optimizing for a sales-assisted motion where a rep provides context before a number is discussed. Whatever the reason, the practical effect is that "Blacklist Alliance pricing" returns no useful search result at all, which is the gap this page fills.

The AvR scoring approach

Worth calling out on its own merits: Blacklist Alliance's "accuracy vs. risk" feed segmentation is a genuinely different model from a binary flagged/not-flagged litigator check. If your risk tolerance varies by campaign — more conservative for cold outbound, looser for warm follow-up — the ability to tune which feeds you suppress against is a real capability most flat scrub tools, including this one, don't offer.

Where each one fits

If you're running enough volume that a 500,000-scrub block's sub-half-cent rate matters, and you want graduated risk scoring plus bundled legal-consultation hours, Blacklist Alliance's subscription tiers are built for that. If you want a straightforward carrier-validation-plus-litigator-scrub with a $5 floor and pricing you can actually find on the page, that's NumberBroom.

Frequently asked questions

How much does The Blacklist Alliance cost?

Per a 2026-08-14 review of their scrub-block pages, the cheapest one-time option is a 10,000-scrub block for $300 — $0.03 per number, with no ongoing commitment. Larger one-time blocks step down to roughly $0.0045 per number at 500,000 scrubs. Separately, they publish 11 monthly subscription tiers running from $600/month up past $5,000/month, which bundle in extras like compliance-training seats and prepaid legal consultation hours. Every one of these pricing pages is marked noindex, nofollow in their site's robots directives, so none of it is findable through a search engine — you have to already be on the page.

Is Blacklist Alliance self-serve?

Partially. Checkout for scrub blocks runs through direct Stripe payment links, so in principle you can buy without talking to anyone. In practice, the site's visible navigation and every prominent call-to-action point to "Schedule a Demo" — the self-serve checkout links aren't surfaced anywhere a new visitor would naturally find them, and pricing itself is de-indexed from search.

What does Blacklist Alliance do differently from a basic litigator scrub?

Their most distinctive published claim is an "AvR" (accuracy vs. risk) scoring system — numbers are segregated into feeds by a numerical risk score, and you can choose which feeds to suppress against based on your own risk appetite, rather than getting one binary flagged/clean answer. That's a real methodological difference from most flat litigator databases, including ours, and worth knowing about if granular risk tuning matters for your use case.

Does NumberBroom have anything like Blacklist Alliance's legal-consultation hours?

No — their higher subscription tiers (reviewed 2026-08-14) bundle in several hours per year of prepaid legal consultation and Blacklist Academy training seats, positioning the product as a compliance-department platform rather than a per-job tool. NumberBroom doesn't sell legal services or training; it's a carrier-validation-plus-litigator-scrub tool priced per job. If ongoing legal counsel is part of what you need, that's a genuinely different purchase than a scrubbing tool, from either vendor.
