Account protection — not just a device ID
Fingerprint tools excel at remembering a browser. AbuseGraph is built for signup and login decisions you can act on and defend.
Where we win
Transparent decisions
Score, verdict, and plain-language reasons — not a mystery visitor ID.
Free forever + free test keys
1,000 live checks / month on Free. Unlimited test checks. Upgrade when volume grows.
Domain ownership proof
Live keys unlock only after DNS verification — ownership, not trust-on-add.
Watch after signup
Exposure monitoring for users who already got in, with optional signed alerts.
Explainable risk
Enough detail for security and support to act — without a public detection playbook.
You keep enforcement
Recommendations say allow / challenge / shadow / block. No forced CAPTCHA wall.

| Starting price | Free forever (1k live checks + unlimited test) | $99–$200+/mo before you ship |
| What you protect | Signup + login abuse with a clear verdict | Device ID, bot score, or kitchen-sink fraud suite |
| Domain access | DNS ownership proof before live keys unlock | Trust-on-add or no domain pinning |
| Decision quality | Score + verdict + reasons you can explain | Mystery risk flag or visitor ID only |
| Network and session context | Honesty and consistency signals in plain language | Opaque reputation labels |
| Email and domain | Identity quality and exposure context in one check | A narrow list — or a second vendor |

| Enforcement | You decide allow / challenge / block | Vendor blocks inside their widget |
Honest limitations
Not a payment-fraud suite
Signup and login / auth risk only — not chargebacks, card testing, or checkout fraud.
Not only a device ID
If all you need is a sticky visitor identifier, a pure fingerprint vendor may fit better.
Newer product
Built for account abuse you can explain — not every fraud category at internet scale.
Good fit when
- Fake signups and shady logins are the problem
- You want reasons your team can explain
- You need domain proof and post-signup watch
Look elsewhere when
- You need deep payment / chargeback tooling
- You only want a pure device ID
- You prefer vendor-enforced CAPTCHA walls
