vs account-abuse APIs
Same problem. Clearer metering. More included.
Account-abuse platforms are the closest category. AbuseGraph sits in the same public price band — with a live free tier, published overages, and policy tools (lists, rules, linked accounts) that often stay gated elsewhere.
Where AbuseGraph wins
Live API on Free
Ship against production-shaped keys for 1,000 checks / month — not a dashboard demo.
Lists, rules, graph included
Workspace allow/block lists, priority rules on check, and accountsLinked — on Free through Scale.
DNS domain proof
Live keys unlock after ownership verification — not trust-on-add.
Published overages
Pro $4 / 1k and Scale $2 / 1k after included volume. No surprise quote for the next 10k checks.
| AbuseGraph | Typical account-abuse platforms | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 1,000 live API checks / mo | Often dashboard-only |
| Entry paid | $99 Pro · 20k included | ~$189–$200+/mo common |
| Metering | Per live check | Often MAU or seat-based |
| Lists + rules | Included | Frequently paid / gated |
| Identity graph | Linked accounts API | Often yes — sometimes add-on |
| Domain access | DNS ownership proof | Rare |
When specialists still win
Deep enterprise playbooks
If you need years of vertical playbooks, dedicated CS, and custom model tuning before launch, a larger platform may still win procurement.
MAU-aligned finance
Some finance teams prefer MAU packaging. We meter live checks so cost tracks decisions you actually run.
FAQ
Is AbuseGraph cheaper than account-abuse platforms?
Public entry pricing is market-aligned (Free / $99 / $199). The difference is what ships included — live Free tier, lists/rules/graph, and published overages — not a race to undercut every quote.
Do you support the same auth events?
Signup, sign-in, password reset, and email-change style account risk. Payment/chargeback fraud is out of scope.
