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.
  • Persistent visitor IDs work across sessions and changing networks.
  • Real-time signals cover bots, VPNs, geolocation, tampering, and device state.
  • Web, iOS, Android, API, webhook, and proxy/CDN options support varied workflows.
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.
  • It provides signals and device intelligence, not a complete case-management system.
  • It is not a full identity-verification platform.
  • The Enterprise plan uses custom pricing rather than a published monthly amount.
