The fraud screening big platforms buy, for $12 a month
SEON is built for fraud and compliance teams: identity enrichment, device fingerprinting and AML, with explainable scoring. If you need that, it's a strong choice. If you need your forms and checkout kept clean without a fraud team, Doorman is a fraction of the price.
Free for 1,000 checks a month. Paid plans from $12. No card required.
Example: Doorman screening sign-ups and checkout, each judged in under half a second and delivered or kept out with the reason.

$699 a month to start
The Starter plan covers 2,500 checks a month and 10 users.
Built for fraud teams
Rules, workflows and AML are powerful, and more than a small team needs.
Identity, not message
It scores who someone is, not what their message asks for.
Doorman and SEON, side by side
| Question | Doorman | SEON |
|---|---|---|
| What it checks | What the submission says and the order signals you send | 1,100+ identity, device and behaviour signals, with AML on higher tiers |
| Pitches and abuse in forms | Kept out, with the line that gave it away | Not what it's built for |
| Why something was blocked | The exact sentence or signal | Ranked signals, rules and an audit trail |
| Getting started | Self-serve: a form URL, one API call, or your coding agent | An API, SDKs and a JS agent; a trial on request |
| Price | Free for 1,000 checks a month; Pro $12 for 25,000 | Starter $699 a month for 2,500 checks |

const r = await doorman.check({
kind: "checkout",
email: order.email,
order: { items: "5× Gift card $100", total_usd: 500 },

Every decision comes from Doorman's models reading the submission, in milliseconds, with the reason attached.
Labelled test set: 104 invented but labelled contact-form and checkout submissions, judged live; latency is the median of those checks. Questions were not tuned to the set.
Questions
Is Doorman's checkout screening as deep as SEON's?
No: SEON enriches identities with far more signals. Doorman judges the order and the signals you already have, which covers card testers and stolen-card patterns for most small stores.
Does Doorman do AML?
No.
