TCPA Litigator List

What TCPA Litigator List does

TCPA Litigator List (legal entity: TCPA List Sanitizer, LLC) is a Colorado Springs-based subscription SaaS platform founded in 2017 that helps businesses engaged in outbound calling and SMS marketing avoid Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation risk. The company's core asset is a proprietary database of more than 600,000 phone numbers and 100,000+ names associated with TCPA lawsuits, demand-letter senders (TCPA trolls), TCPA attorneys, and professional litigators, compiled continuously from case filings since 2000 with approximately 500-1,000 new numbers added each month. Deliveries include a web-based Online Phone Scrub (CSV/Excel upload), a REST API for real-time single-number and mass-scrub endpoints, a Single Number Lookup, the Name Recognition Algorithm (NRA) add-on that identifies serial litigators by name (including those using prepaid phones), a Phone Verification service that returns line type and carrier, State DNC coverage across 11 states, and ancillary TCPA compliance services such as demand-letter response and attorney referrals.

The technology stack is built around an integrated database plus Basic Auth-authenticated REST API with PHP SDK support, documented endpoints, and demonstrable throughput of approximately 790,000 numbers scrubbed in under two minutes. Pricing is a combination of recurring tiered subscriptions (Basic at $199/month through API 50 Million at $4,999/month, with 15-30% annual discounts) and usage-based consumption priced in "scrub coins" (as low as $0.0006 per scrub at top tiers), with an optional dedicated API server at $250/month. The go-to-market is primarily self-serve product-led growth with API-first distribution for enterprises, supported by a small affiliate program and TrustPilot-driven social proof.

The company serves a horizontal customer base that includes outbound call centers, telemarketing firms, lead generation companies, and SMS marketing operators — primarily small and mid-market accounts plus selected large call centers (e.g., 900+ seat operations). Per company figures, more than 550 clients use the platform. The business is bootstrapped and founder-led (Michael, CEO), with no disclosed outside funding, M&A, or institutional ownership; it is part of a broader ecosystem that includes a sister B2B lead-generation company whose $5 million TCPA class-action exposure reportedly motivated the founding of the scrubbing service.

Revenue model

1. Subscription Plans (SaaS): Monthly and annual subscription tiers providing access to the TCPA Litigator List platform, phone scrubbing services, API access, and allocated scrub coins. Plans range from Basic ($199/month) to API 50 Million ($4,999/month), with annual discounts of 15-30%.
2. Usage-Based Scrub Coins: Each phone number scrub consumes one scrub coin. Additional coins can be purchased at discounted rates. Standard rate is $0.001 cent per scrub after allocated coins are exhausted. Higher-tier plans offer lower per-scrub rates (from $0.001 to $0.0006 per scrub).
3. Verification Coins: Optional phone verification service with separate coin system. Phone verification uses 5 credits per scrub and identifies line type, network provider, and activity status. Verification coins do not expire as long as account is in good standing.
4. Dedicated API Server: Enterprise option providing dedicated API server to remove public API call limits (50 calls/second). Priced at $250/month in addition to subscription tier.
5. TCPA Compliance Services: Additional professional services including TCPA Compliance Review, TCPA Demand Letter Response, and TCPA attorney referrals for companies facing litigation.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• TCPA Litigator List Database Subscription-based access to a curated database of TCPA plaintiff attorneys and litigation-prone phone numbers, used by outbound call centers, SMS marketers, debt collectors, and lead generators to screen numbers before contact and reduce TCPA litigation exposure.
• Scrub API REST API that allows developers and technical teams to programmatically screen phone numbers against the TCPA litigator database, NRA reassignment data, state DNC lists, and phone verification sources in real time. Designed for integration into outbound dialers, CRMs, and SMS marketing platforms.
• Online Phone Scrub Tool Browser-based tool that allows users to submit phone numbers individually or in bulk for screening against the TCPA litigator database and related compliance data, without requiring API integration. Targeted at SMB and ad hoc users.

• NRA (National Reassignment) Lookup Lookup against the national reassignment database to determine whether a phone number has been reassigned to a different end user since prior consent was obtained, supporting TCPA consent-revocation compliance.
• State DNC List Checking Aggregated state-level Do-Not-Call list checking that supplements the federal DNC registry, addressing state-specific telemarketing compliance obligations across multiple U.S. states.

Broad incumbents

• ActiveProspect: A larger, venture-backed lead compliance platform offering TCPA-compliant consent management (LeadsBridge, TrustedForm) used by major buyers of inbound leads. While focused on consent capture rather than litigator scrubbing, it operates in the same TCPA compliance procurement set and could expand downstream into scrubbing.
• CompliancePoint: Provides outsourced compliance services including TCPA risk assessments, DNC list scrubbing, and contact center compliance consulting. It is a broader incumbent in TCPA compliance services that competes for the same customer budget allocation but with a services-led rather than self-serve SaaS model.
• Twilio (Lookup API): Major communications platform offering phone number intelligence APIs (Twilio Lookup, carrier/line-type detection) that overlap with TCPA Litigator List's Phone Verification and Number Lookup features. While Twilio does not provide litigator data, it competes for the phone-verification spend and could expand into compliance data.

Emerging players

• PhoneBurner: Power dialer platform for outbound sales teams with built-in DNC scrubbing and compliance features. Competes for the same call center customer wallet and could conceivably integrate or build litigator-level scrubbing functionality, posing both a partnership opportunity and competitive threat.
• Hiya: Provides phone number reputation data, call identification, and spam/scam detection APIs that overlap with TCPA Litigator List's phone verification and line-type detection capabilities. Adjacent rather than directly competing, but operates in the same phone-intelligence buyer set.

Direct peers

• DNC.com: DNC.com is a long-established provider of DNC list scrubbing, suppression file management, and telemarketing compliance services. It directly overlaps with TCPA Litigator List's core phone-scrubbing offering for outbound calling compliance, though it has historically emphasized DNC compliance rather than litigator-specific data.
• Cleanlist: Mailing and phone list cleaning/append services including DNC suppression. Targets the same list-based compliance buyer (call centers, direct marketers) and competes on list-scrubbing workflows, though it is more general-purpose and lacks TCPA-specific litigator data.
• The Numbers People (NumbersCompliance): Provides phone number compliance scrubbing, identification of litigators, and TCPA/DNC compliance services targeted at outbound call centers and SMS marketers. Closely comparable on product surface (litigator identification + scrubbing) and target buyer (call centers, lead generators).
