Scamalytics

Detects and prevents online scams and fraudulent activities in real time.

Scamalytics — IP fraud-scoring API for detecting fake accounts, bots, and risky traffic.

Scamalytics is a UK-based IP fraud detection platform (est. 2011) that scores IP addresses 0–100 for risk, combining proxy/VPN detection, geolocation, blacklists, and ML-based signals. The DB 'who_its_for' field is entirely wrong (describes a sermon-transcription tool — data bleed from another row); the actual audience is e-commerce, dating, and social platforms. The DB price_tier of 'free_trial' is also incorrect: Scamalytics offers a permanent free tier of 5,000 API lookups/month, not a time-limited trial.

Scamalytics punches above its price point: a clean REST API, a real free tier, and a self-hosted option that satisfies GDPR requirements make it the go-to entry-level IP fraud tool. The ML-shared blacklists built from dating/social network signals add signal quality that generic geo-IP tools lack.

Covers IP signals only — no device fingerprinting, behavioral analytics, or email/phone risk — so it must be combined with other checks for robust fraud stacks. Can produce false positives for legitimate VPN or datacenter users.

SEON — full fraud platform with email, phone, device, and behavioral signals for teams needing a complete decisioning layer.

IPQualityScore free tier — overlapping IP fraud scoring with a hosted dashboard if API integration feels like overkill.
