Pricing
CustomForter does not publish public pricing. Its standard model charges merchants a percentage of the gross merchandise value (GMV) it approves, meaning cost scales directly with a business's approved transaction volume rather than following flat subscription tiers. Pricing also varies depending on which products a merchant licenses (Fraud Management, Payment Optimization, Dispute Management, Account Protection, Abuse Prevention, and/or Forter Agents). An ROI calculator is available on Forter's website to help estimate potential value, but merchants must contact Forter's sales team directly to receive a specific, custom quote.
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
AI-powered identity intelligence for fraud, abuse, and payment decisions in digital commerce
Public AI fraud prevention platform with a guaranteed chargeback protection model
Forter Pros & Cons
Pros
- Unifies fraud prevention, payment optimization, and dispute management in a single platform instead of siloed point solutions
- Strong, independently reported performance: 72% average chargeback reduction, 46% average false decline reduction
- Shared identity network across 2B+ identities and major brand consortium members improves accuracy for every merchant on the network
- Forter Agents bring genuinely new AI-agent automation to fraud, payments, disputes, and integration workflows
- Backed by significant funding ($525M raised, $3B valuation) and a well-documented enterprise customer base (Adidas, Wayfair, Instacart, Nordstrom)
- Early mover on agentic commerce, positioning merchants to handle AI shopping agents as that category grows
Cons
- No public pricing — Forter charges a percentage of approved GMV (gross merchandise value), requiring a sales conversation and custom quote
- Built for large-scale ecommerce; small merchants processing modest transaction volumes are unlikely to be a good pricing or scale fit
- Because pricing scales with approved transaction volume, costs grow automatically alongside a merchant's revenue rather than staying flat
- Full accuracy depends on Forter's network effect and historical data, so very new or low-traffic merchants may see less immediate benefit than established high-volume brands
- Deep platform scope (fraud, payments, disputes, account protection, abuse prevention, agentic commerce) means a real onboarding and integration lift for engineering teams
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
