DNC.com — operated by Contact Center Compliance, now mid-rebrand to a company called Sonera — is the vendor Reddit threads recommend most often when someone asks how to scrub a calling list. It has real scale behind that reputation: over 20 years in the category and, by its own account, tens of billions of scrubs performed. What it doesn't have, anywhere on its site, is a price.
Pricing: one publishes it, one doesn't

This isn't a knock on DNC.com's coverage — it's a description of who each is built for. A platform that quotes by meeting is optimized for enterprise call centers with a procurement process. A platform priced per number with a checkout is optimized for a team that wants to run a job today.
The SAN gate
DNC.com's own FAQ states it plainly: a SAN is required to use DNCScrub. That's a legitimate consequence of what they sell — the FTC's rules mean registry access can only run under the seller's own credential, not a vendor's. But it means their onboarding starts with a federal registration step before you've seen a price or run a single number. See what a SAN actually costs and gates — it's less than most people assume, and it isn't required for every kind of scrub.
A rebrand is in progress
Every page on dnc.com currently carries a banner announcing the company is becoming "Sonera." Brand transitions of this size are exactly the moment pricing pages, product names, and onboarding flows tend to change without much notice — worth checking their current site directly if you're deep into evaluating them, since anything scraped for this comparison could shift.
Where each one fits
DNC.com's own trademarked feature set — Wireless ID℠, Litigator Insights, RetroScrub®, EBRMaster℠ — signals an enterprise compliance platform built for call centers running multi-user, multi-department operations. If that's your team, a sales conversation to scope the right tier is a reasonable process.
If you're a smaller operation with a list to check today, NumberBroom runs carrier validation and a court-sourced litigator scrub on a CSV upload with no meeting, no SAN, and a price you see before you pay: $0.20 per number, $5 minimum.

Frequently asked questions
How much does DNC.com cost?
DNC.com does not publish a price. As of a 2026-08-14 review of the site, their DNCScrub FAQ states only that "our DNCScrub® product has a variable cost based on the number of records you plan to scrub," and every product page's call to action is "Schedule a Meeting." There is no self-serve checkout, no listed monthly rate, and no per-record figure anywhere on the domain. You get a price after a sales conversation, not before.
Do I need a SAN to use DNC.com?
Yes. DNC.com states directly in its own FAQ: "A subscription to the National Do Not Call list is required to use DNCScrub®." You need your own SAN before their core product works at all — see what a SAN actually gates and what it costs.
Is there a free trial of DNC.com's scrubbing tool?
Not of the scrubber itself. The one trial listed on the site (2026-08-14 review) is a 15-day trial of a different product — their Compliance Guide state-law research tool — and its own fine print restricts it to "non-active customers only." No free tier, trial, or preview of DNCScrub was found.
Does NumberBroom do everything DNC.com does?
No, and it isn't trying to. DNC.com is a broad compliance platform — DNC registry scrubbing, litigator scrubbing, consent tracking, and enterprise call-center integrations, sold as a suite. NumberBroom does two specific checks — carrier validation and a litigator scrub — self-serve, at a fixed per-number price, with no account setup. If you need registry access specifically, that runs under your own SAN regardless of which vendor you use; see how the four categories of TCPA tooling break down.
