Named integrations include Cloudflare, CloudFront, Fastly VCL, Segment, Akamai, Fastly Compute, Google Tag Manager and Azure. The cloud service supports real-time decisioning and custom rules across web, iOS and Android apps, and API events. The Free plan is $0 per month and includes up to 1,000 API calls monthly plus 500,000 Android API calls monthly. Pro Plus is $99/mo for 20,000 web and iOS API calls, with additional calls at $4 per 1,000; it includes 500,000 Android calls monthly. A 14-day Pro Plus trial is offered without a credit card.

Fingerprint combines persistent identification with signals and agent detection for fraud and bot-related use cases. Its free and paid plans distinguish web and iOS call allowances from Android calls.

Fingerprint may suit teams addressing account takeover, payment or SMS fraud, and bot activity across websites, mobile apps and API events. Developers can use its APIs and SDKs to connect identification features to their systems.

Fingerprint is a cloud service for recognizing visitors across websites and mobile apps and supplying signals for fraud decisions. It is best suited to teams with developers who can put those signals into their own workflows. Its breadth is a strength; the separate web and iOS call allowance makes usage costs worth watching.

Overview

Fingerprint combines persistent identification with more than 100 Smart Signals that can help teams assess risky traffic. Identification spans web and mobile and can persist when cookies are cleared, giving teams an additional way to recognize returning visitors. Account takeover, payment fraud, SMS fraud and bot detection are among its use cases. The product supplies inputs for those decisions, while teams remain responsible for deciding what action to take.

AI Agent Detection uses Web Bot Auth cryptographic signing to distinguish signed agents from spoofed ones. That makes it relevant to services that need to verify agent traffic, alongside the broader job of identifying suspicious bots. Real-time decisioning and custom rules give teams ways to apply signals within their own processes.

Key features

• Persistent identification: Recognition that continues after cookies are cleared can help teams connect returning visitors across web and mobile without relying on cookies alone.
• Smart Signals: More than 100 attributes give risk teams a range of traffic indicators to work with. Their practical value depends on a team's ability to incorporate them into its fraud decisions.
• Verified agent detection: Cryptographic signing helps distinguish authenticated agents from traffic impersonating them, a narrower but useful capability for services that need that distinction.
• Developer access and integrations: Client and server APIs, SDKs and frameworks, plus native iOS and Android SDKs, suit teams integrating identification into their products. Named integrations include Cloudflare, CloudFront, Fastly VCL, Segment, Akamai, Fastly Compute, Google Tag Manager and Azure.
• Security and reliability: Fingerprint states that web traffic uses HTTPS and TLS 1.2 and data is stored in AWS data centers. It reports GDPR and CCPA compliance, ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type II compliance. Pro has a 99.9% uptime SLA and a public status page.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes up to 1,000 API calls per month, plus 500k Android API calls per month. It is a practical starting point for small deployments, but the web and iOS allowance is limited.

Pro Plus costs $99 a month, billed at $99 per month for 20K API calls. It includes 20K web and iOS API calls and 500,000 Android API calls per month free; additional API calls cost $4 per 1,000. The plan raises the web and iOS allowance substantially, but teams with variable or growing traffic should account for the overage rate. Free and Pro Plus both include 30-day data retention and basic technical support.

Fingerprint offers a 14-day Pro Plus trial with unlimited API calls and no credit card required. Enterprise has custom pricing and includes a custom plan, 99.9% SLA, additional Smart Signals, proxy integrations and a dedicated customer success manager. Its 90-day data retention and Enterprise support make it the relevant tier for organizations that need those terms and services.

Platforms

Fingerprint supports web, iOS, Android and API events, with cloud deployment. Coverage across browser and mobile traffic is useful for teams handling several channels in a shared fraud workflow.

Who it's for

Fingerprint fits product and fraud teams that need persistent visitor identification and can use APIs, SDKs or integrations to connect the resulting signals to their own systems. Its agent verification can also suit services concerned with spoofed AI agent traffic. The Free plan suits limited use, while Pro Plus is a clearer fit for teams needing more web and iOS volume. Businesses seeking a fully specified, turnkey fraud response product may prefer to compare other options.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Persistent identification across web and mobile, including after cookies are cleared, gives teams an additional recognition signal.
• Pros: More than 100 Smart Signals and signed agent detection cover both broad risk assessment and a specific bot authenticity problem.
• Pros: Native mobile SDKs, client and server access, and named infrastructure and analytics integrations give developers multiple integration paths.
• Cons: The Free plan's 1,000 monthly API calls can constrain web and iOS use, even though Android has a separate 500k-call allowance.
• Cons: Pro Plus charges $4 per 1,000 API calls beyond the included 20K, so higher web and iOS volumes add variable cost.
• Cons: Fingerprint provides signals and rules for teams to use; organizations that need a packaged decision workflow may need another fit.

Verdict

Fingerprint is a strong fit for developer-backed teams that want persistent cross-platform identification, a broad set of risk signals and a way to verify signed agents. The free Android allowance and Pro Plus trial offer room to evaluate it, while web and iOS usage requires closer quota planning. Look elsewhere if you need a complete fraud workflow rather than an identification and signal layer.
