Sift

paid · Founded 2011 · cloud

Digital Trust & Safety Suite — payment fraud, content abuse, ATO. Quote-based, volume-priced.

What it does well

  • Leverages a large global data network from thousands of sites to identify fraud patterns.
  • Provides a single real-time 'Sift Score' to simplify and automate risk decisions.
  • Offers a suite of APIs for integrating fraud detection into various user touchpoints.

Where it falls short

  • Pricing is entirely quote-based and tied to volume, with no public price list.
  • No free tier or self-service trial is available for evaluation purposes.
  • Can be overly complex for small businesses without a dedicated fraud team.
