THE SHORT VERSION
brandmark reached the create logos action for 1 anonymous skincare brief. the resulting designs were not retained, described or scored. its public pricing page lists 3 one-time packages, but the page did not state the currency and no paid file was inspected. looka and AI brand scaler supply adjacent public evidence. the useful decision here is what remains visible before payment, not which logo machine wins.

the house tool sits in the same ledger. AI brand scaler publishes this page and appears in the comparison ledger. it is not affiliated with brandmark. restricted unpaid designs were not copied or published, and the house tool receives no inferred quality advantage.
001 // THE DECISION THIS RECORD CAN SUPPORT
what can be established before payment from the anonymous entry flow? the current page filters evidence states. it does not rank the tools or tell you to stay, switch or buy.
002 // DATED FACTS
three logo paths, each missing a different piece of proof. observed interaction and provider language keep separate labels. every fact links to its public record.

a claim can be useful without becoming a verdict. SUPPORTED BY CURRENT EVIDENCE

007 // QUESTIONS THE RECORD CAN ANSWER
short answers. visible caveats. is brandmark free? one anonymous input flow reached the create logos action, but no result or downloadable file was retained. v0.1 does not establish that the complete product is free.
what brandmark prices were recorded? the public page showed 35, 95 and 195 for one-time packages. it used a dollar sign without naming the currency. pricing was checked on 2026-07-18.
what formats does brandmark claim? brandmark says paid packages can include svg, png and pdf exports. no paid file was independently received.
were brandmark outputs scored? no. generated designs were not retained, described or published, so output quality received no score.
is brandmark better than looka? the current evidence cannot answer. neither product has a retained, reviewed output or independently inspected paid export in v0.1.
does brandmark provide editing control, unique logos or a complete kit? those dimensions were not independently established in v0.1. the public page does not infer them from package descriptions.
TRY THE HOUSE TOOL, WITHOUT THE HOUSE VERDICT
want to inspect the house input surface? the free beta exposes taste controls before generation. no cross-tool quality verdict is implied.
