The account-protection market — and where AbuseGraph fits

Four shapes buyers already see

Teams shopping for signup and login protection usually meet one of four product shapes:

1. Device-ID tools — sticky visitor identifiers. Public entry often near ~$99/mo for ~20k calls. Great for “who is this browser?” — thin on “should we allow this signup?”
2. Account-abuse platforms — risk APIs aimed at registration and takeover. Public entry often near ~$189–$200/mo, frequently MAU-metered, with free tiers that are sometimes dashboard-only. Strong when you want decisions; lists/rules and graph depth may sit behind higher tiers.
3. Network / bot edge bundles — sold with CDN or bot management. Strong before traffic hits your app; less focused on explainable account verdicts once the request is inside your product.
4. Fraud suites — payment + account modules, sales-led, often $500+/mo or six figures/year. Right when chargebacks and checkout fraud are the job.

Those bands are anonymous public list prices as of 2026 — not endorsements. Exact quotes vary. The shape is what matters.

Where specialists still win

Be honest with yourself:

• Need chargeback guarantees or deep payment fraud → evaluate a fraud suite.
• Need only a sticky device ID and nothing else → a pure fingerprint product may fit.
• Already all-in on a CDN bot bundle → keep it for edge filtering; AbuseGraph sits next to your auth for account decisions.

What we will not do

• Name competitors in the product UI
• Claim “zero false positives” or magic accuracy
• Pretend we are a kitchen-sink fraud platform
