Pricing
CustomAthos Commerce uses flexible annual plan pricing with no published rate card — all plans require a demo and custom quote via athoscommerce.com/request-pricing.
Three plan tiers are available: Onsite Discovery covers search, merchandising, and personalization for your website with optional AI add-ons (AI Search, AI Merchandising, AI Product Recommendations, AI Bundling). Offsite Discovery covers product feed management across 1,400+ channels with optional AI Feed Management. The Intelligent Discovery Platform (Complete Discovery) combines both Onsite and Offsite under one contract with unified analytics and the Athos Console, plus access to all AI add-ons including AI Data Enrichment.
Three autonomous AI Agents are available as add-ons across plans: Conversational Assistant (available on Complete and Onsite Discovery), Channel Assistant (available on Complete and Offsite Discovery), and GEO Assistant (available across all plans). Every plan is underpinned by shared cloud infrastructure, analytics, open APIs, and pre-built integrations. Onsite and Offsite plans can be purchased independently and upgraded to the full Intelligent Discovery Platform at any point, with data and configurations carrying over.
CustomRiskified does not publish public pricing. Its core Chargeback Guarantee product typically charges a percentage of the value of orders it approves, which bundles in fraud liability coverage as part of the fee, meaning Riskified itself absorbs the cost of any chargeback resulting from a transaction it approved. Pricing also varies based on which additional products a merchant licenses (Adaptive Checkout, Policy Protect, Dispute Resolve, Account Secure). As a large enterprise-focused platform, Riskified requires prospective customers to contact its sales team directly through a demo request to receive a custom, business-specific quote.

Summary
Intelligent discovery for AI commerce — search, merchandising, personalization, and feed management in one platform
Public AI fraud prevention platform with a guaranteed chargeback protection model
Athos Commerce Pros & Cons
Pros
- Unified platform combining three market-leading products — Klevu AI search, Searchspring merchandising and personalization, and Intelligent Reach feed management under one roof
- 2,700+ global brand customers including SKIMS, Fabletics, West Elm, Moen, Ripcurl, and Specialized — among the largest customer bases in ecommerce search
- 1,400+ channel integrations for product feed syndication across every major marketplace, social platform, and AI discovery surface
- GEO Assistant makes your products visible in Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and AI shopping surfaces — purpose-built for the agentic commerce era
- 4.5/5 G2 and 4.7/5 Gartner Peer Insights with deep review history across both Klevu and Searchspring profiles
- Backed by PSG Equity with 140+ portfolio companies and 500+ acquisitions — growth capital and M&A expertise for continued platform expansion
Cons
- Custom pricing only — no self-serve sign-up; all plans require a demo and sales quote
- Three underlying products (Klevu, Searchspring, Intelligent Reach) still run on separate contracts and integrations — not yet a single unified platform under the hood
- Gartner and G2 reviews are split across Klevu and Searchspring profiles, making reputation research confusing for buyers new to the brand
- Primarily mid-market and enterprise — not well suited for small Shopify stores under ~$5M annual revenue or early-stage DTC brands
- The Athos brand is relatively new (January 2025) — some agencies and technology partners are still updating integrations and certifications
- AI Agents (Conversational, Channel, GEO) are add-ons at extra cost, not included in base plans
Riskified Pros & Cons
Pros
- Chargeback Guarantee model puts real financial accountability behind its fraud decisions, not just a risk score
- Publicly traded and audited (NYSE: RSKD) with transparent financial reporting, unlike most private competitors
- Reports strong, independently documented customer results: up to 54% cost-of-fraud reduction and 70% chargeback reduction in case studies
- Adaptive Checkout approach reduces false declines by tailoring friction per shopper instead of blanket verification
- Early mover on AI shopping agent fraud detection, addressing an emerging and fast-growing risk category
- Multi-product suite covers the full order lifecycle from checkout through disputes and account security
Cons
- No public pricing — Riskified typically charges a percentage of approved order value, requiring a sales conversation for a custom quote
- Built for larger ecommerce operations; small merchants with modest order volumes are unlikely to be a strong pricing or scale fit
- As a public company (NYSE: RSKD), Riskified has reported net losses in recent fiscal years, which some enterprise buyers may weigh when evaluating long-term vendor stability
- Chargeback guarantee model means Riskified's revenue is tied to transaction value, so costs rise automatically as a merchant's approved sales grow
- Deep multi-product suite (checkout, chargebacks, disputes, account security, policy abuse) requires real integration and onboarding effort for full value
