Bot detection & web fraud · DataDome

DataDome

Bot and fraud protection platform that scores traffic in real time using layered device fingerprinting, behavioral analysis, and machine learning.

Visit DataDome Alternatives

DataDome is a bot and online-fraud protection platform that inspects web, mobile, and API traffic in real time. Its detection layers combine device fingerprinting (browser, OS, and dozens of device characteristics used to build a reputation score), behavioral analysis (mouse movement, scroll speed, typing patterns), and network/IP reputation, feeding continuously retrained machine-learning models that render a decision in milliseconds rather than relying on static rules. It ships as modules for CDNs, reverse proxies, load balancers, and mobile SDKs, aimed at stopping credential stuffing, scraping, scalping, and account-takeover attempts alongside general bot traffic. DataDome does not publish list prices; deals are quoted based on monthly request volume, deployment channels, and feature tier, with a free trial available.
