Our review
Pros	Invisible honeypots and fake API endpoints expose automated traffic. Behavioral, browser, device and TLS fingerprint analysis enriches detections. WAF, SIEM, webhook and response-action integrations support follow-up.	Classifies client-side traffic with 225+ risk signals and global intelligence. Adaptive challenges can target suspicious sessions while lower-risk users proceed. Detection-only mode and server verification support flexible enforcement.
Cons	Response actions and 90-day history start with the $20 Starter plan. Full enrichment, persistent identity and all integrations require Pro at $99/month. Decoy-centered coverage is narrower than broad bot-management suites.	Pricing requires contacting sales, with no standard published plan to compare. Integration relies on Arkose APIs and mobile SDKs rather than a supplied integration list. The product is positioned for enterprise application and security teams.
