1. FraudLabs Pro

Best for: Small stores that want to start screening today at no cost.

FraudLabs Pro validates orders using IP geolocation, proxy detection, email checks, blacklist screening, credit card checks, and transaction velocity rules, according to its Shopify App Store listing (Source: FraudLabs Pro on the Shopify App Store). Its own pricing page sets the free Micro plan at 500 queries a month for stores with sales under $25,000 a month, with 5 validation rules and 50 custom blacklists, and the Mini plan at $29.95 a month with 1,500 queries (Source: FraudLabs Pro pricing). Higher tiers raise the query count and rule count step by step, up to Enterprise at $1,249.95 a month for 500,000 queries (Source: FraudLabs Pro pricing).

Pros

• A genuinely free plan with 500 queries a month, not a short trial (Source: FraudLabs Pro pricing)
• Published prices at every tier, so you can forecast the bill before you install
• Validation rules and custom blacklists let you tune screening to your own chargeback history

Cons

• The free Micro plan caps you at 5 validation rules and 50 custom blacklists, which tightens up fast if you sell into several risky categories (Source: FraudLabs Pro pricing)
• It screens and flags orders, but it does not pay your chargebacks for you if a bad order slips through
• Query based pricing means a traffic spike of abandoned checkouts can burn through your monthly allowance

Pricing: Free for the Micro plan; Mini from $29.95/month. Full tiers at https://www.fraudlabspro.com/pricing, checked 6 November 2026.

Skip it if: You want the vendor to absorb chargeback losses. FraudLabs Pro is a screening tool, not a guarantee.

Unique detail: The free plan is gated by your sales volume as well as queries: Micro is for stores with sales under $25,000 a month (Source: FraudLabs Pro pricing).

Fits: Small stores doing under $25,000 a month in sales and up to about 500 screened orders a month on the free plan, or up to 1,500 queries on Mini.

Pick this if you want to start screening this week, keep the bill at zero while you learn your fraud patterns, and upgrade only when your query count forces it.

2. Wyllo (formerly NoFraud)

Best for: Small stores that want a pass or fail decision on every order, with a guarantee when they are ready.

The app long listed as NoFraud now appears on the Shopify App Store as Wyllo, described by its developer as a risk platform that prevents fraud before purchase and reduces post purchase refund and dispute abuse (Source: Wyllo on the Shopify App Store). The listing is free to install, and its pricing notes say the first screened order starts a 14-day trial, after which you can screen up to 100 orders free per month before moving to plans with manual review and a chargeback guarantee (Source: Wyllo on the Shopify App Store). Guarantee plans on the listing start with monthly minimums of $250 a month for a $500 guarantee level, billed as a percentage of revenue, for merchants under $50,000 a month in revenue (Source: Wyllo on the Shopify App Store).

Pros

• Up to 100 orders screened free per month after the trial, which covers many small stores outright (Source: Wyllo on the Shopify App Store)
• Instant decisions keep checkout moving instead of leaving orders in a review queue
• A clear upgrade path from screening only to manual review and a chargeback guarantee

Cons

• The guarantee is billed as a percentage of revenue with monthly minimums starting at $250 a month, so the guarantee can cost far more than the screening that precedes it (Source: Wyllo on the Shopify App Store)
• The listing now carries a new brand name, Wyllo, so older NoFraud help articles and pricing write ups no longer match what you see in the App Store
• Manual review sits on the paid tiers, so the free screening tier still leaves borderline orders for you to judge

Pricing: Free to install; screening up to 100 orders free per month after a 14-day trial; guarantee plans from $250/month minimums. Full tiers at https://apps.shopify.com/nofraud-chargeback-prevention-and-protection, checked 6 November 2026.

Skip it if: Your order volume is far above 100 orders a month and mostly low risk, since a flat rule based screener will likely cost less.

Unique detail: The trial clock starts on your first screened order, not on install day, per the listing pricing notes (Source: Wyllo on the Shopify App Store).

Fits: Small stores under $50,000 a month in revenue doing up to a few hundred orders a month, especially where one person handles fraud review today.

Pick this if you want decisions made for you, a free screening tier that covers a small order book, and the option to buy a guarantee later without switching apps.

3. Beacon

Best for: Very low volume stores that would rather pay pennies per order than a monthly fee.

Beacon cross checks orders against signals such as VoIP and disposable email addresses, phone numbers, CVV codes, and multiple accounts, according to its App Store listing (Source: Beacon on the Shopify App Store). Its entry Risk Manage-Basic plan is priced at $0.03 per order as a flexible pay as you go plan aimed at low volume merchants, with a 14-day free trial (Source: Beacon on the Shopify App Store). The Risk Manage-Plus plan is $125 a month plus $0.025 per additional order, with a further discount rate mentioned for businesses processing over 15,000 orders a month (Source: Beacon on the Shopify App Store).

Pros

• At $0.03 per order, screening 100 orders costs about $3, which suits seasonal or brand new stores (Source: Beacon on the Shopify App Store)
• Pay as you go means a quiet month costs almost nothing
• Checks disposable email and VoIP signals that simple address rules miss

Cons

• The jump from pay as you go to Plus is steep: $125 a month plus per order fees, so mid volume stores can land in an awkward price gap (Source: Beacon on the Shopify App Store)
• Per order pricing means every order is billed, including the clean repeat orders that carry almost no risk
• It is a screening tool, so approved orders that still charge back remain your cost

Pricing: From $0.03 per order (Risk Manage-Basic); Plus at $125/month plus $0.025 per additional order. Full tiers at https://apps.shopify.com/beacon, checked 6 November 2026.

Skip it if: You already process thousands of orders a month, where a flat monthly plan will beat per order billing.

Unique detail: The listing advertises a further discount rate for businesses processing over 15,000 orders a month, which is unusual honesty about enterprise volume in an entry level listing (Source: Beacon on the Shopify App Store).

Fits: New and seasonal stores doing tens to a few hundred orders a month, where a $30 monthly app fee would dwarf the fraud risk itself.

Pick this if your order count is small and spiky, and you want screening that scales down to nearly zero in a slow month.

4. ClearSale

Best for: Growing stores that want a chargeback guarantee without hiring a fraud analyst.

ClearSale pairs AI screening with human analyst review, and its site says Growth plans with a chargeback guarantee start as low as $250 a month, with pricing based on monthly transaction volume, no upfront fees, and guided setup (Source: ClearSale). Its FAQ explains that pricing is usage based and depends on transaction volume, risk profile, and business needs, and that enterprise plans for high volume or global merchants are custom priced (Source: ClearSale). Chargeback protection is included on approved orders on the guarantee plans (Source: ClearSale).

Pros

• Human analysts review the grey area orders that pure automation tends to decline, which protects your conversion rate (Source: ClearSale)
• Chargeback guarantee on approved orders moves the dispute loss off your P and L (Source: ClearSale)
• No upfront fees and guided setup lower the risk of trying it (Source: ClearSale)

Cons

• The $250 a month floor for Growth plans is real money for a store doing a few hundred orders, and your exact price still needs a custom quote based on volume and risk profile (Source: ClearSale)
• Usage based pricing means your bill rises in your best sales months, right when fraud attempts also spike
• A sales led quote process means you cannot compare your true cost against flat plan rivals in five minutes

Pricing: Growth plans from $250/month with chargeback guarantee; exact price is a custom quote based on volume and risk. Details at https://www.clear.sale/, checked 6 November 2026.

Skip it if: Your chargeback rate is near zero and your average order value is low, since the guarantee premium will likely exceed your actual losses.

Unique detail: ClearSale splits its offer into decision only and decision plus guarantee products, so you can buy the human review layer without the insurance layer (Source: ClearSale).

Fits: Stores roughly in the $30,000 to $500,000 a month sales range with a chargeback problem worth insuring, especially those selling higher value goods.

Pick this if chargebacks are already costing you more than $250 a month in product, shipping, and fees, and you want analysts plus a guarantee in one contract.

5. Signifyd

Best for: Stores that want fraud decisions and losses fully handled by the vendor.

Signifyd sells a 100 percent financial guarantee on approved orders, and its pricing page is explicit that there is no published rate card: you complete a form and receive a custom quote (Source: Signifyd pricing). Its pricing FAQ states that it charges a percentage of the order total when an order is approved, that the percentage varies by products purchased, merchant vertical, order volume, and average ticket price, and that there is no charge when an order is declined due to fraud (Source: Signifyd pricing). It offers pre built integrations for major platforms including Shopify (Source: Signifyd pricing).

Pros

• A 100 percent financial guarantee on approved orders is the strongest risk transfer in this roundup (Source: Signifyd pricing)
• You are never charged for an order it declines for fraud, so declines do not add insult to injury (Source: Signifyd pricing)
• Percentage of approved sales pricing scales with revenue instead of hitting you with a fixed fee in slow months

Cons

• No published price at all: the percentage is set only after an assessment of your vertical, volume, and ticket size, so small stores cannot self serve a comparison (Source: Signifyd pricing)
• A percentage of every approved order is a permanent tax on your margin, including orders from loyal repeat buyers who were never a risk
• Guarantee economics suit higher volume stores, so very small stores may not qualify for terms that beat a $29.95 flat plan

Pricing: Quote only. Percentage of the order total on approved orders; no charge on fraud declines. See https://www.signifyd.com/pricing/, checked 6 November 2026.

Skip it if: You need a price today and a self serve install, or your margins cannot carry a percentage fee on every approved order.

Unique detail: The fee only applies to approved orders, and declined fraud orders are free, per its own pricing FAQ (Source: Signifyd pricing).

Fits: Stores with steady volume and average order values high enough that one chargeback wipes out the profit on many good orders.

Pick this if fraud losses and review time together cost more than a small percentage of sales, and you want one vendor accountable for both decisions and losses.

6. SEON

Best for: Stores that want rich data on every buyer before they decide to ship.

SEON builds a picture of each customer from email, phone, IP address, card data, device information, and behavior analysis, according to its App Store listing (Source: SEON on the Shopify App Store). The current listing labels the app as a Legacy product and prices its Retail Starter plan at $699 a month with 1,000 order checks included, then $0.15 per order check on orders above that inclusion, capped at 50,000 orders a month, with a 14-day free trial (Source: SEON on the Shopify App Store).

Pros

• Deep enrichment across email, phone, IP, and device data gives small teams evidence instead of gut feel (Source: SEON on the Shopify App Store)
• 1,000 included checks a month covers a mid size order book inside the flat fee (Source: SEON on the Shopify App Store)
• Custom rules let you tighten or loosen screening by product line and season

Cons

• The Shopify listing itself now labels this app as Legacy, which is a clear signal to check the vendor's current platform plans before building workflows around this connector (Source: SEON on the Shopify App Store)
• At $699 a month, the entry plan costs more than many small stores lose to fraud in a quarter (Source: SEON on the Shopify App Store)
• Checks above the 1,000 included cost $0.15 each, and the plan caps at 50,000 orders a month and a limited user and rule count (Source: SEON on the Shopify App Store)

Pricing: $699/month (Retail Starter, listed as Legacy), including 1,000 order checks, then $0.15 per check. Full tiers at https://apps.shopify.com/seon-fraud-detection-and-prevention, checked 6 November 2026.

Skip it if: You are a genuinely small store. The math only starts to work when fraud losses and manual review hours are already large.

Unique detail: The listing's own Legacy label is the tell: SEON's Shopify connector is no longer its flagship route, so confirm the support horizon before you commit (Source: SEON on the Shopify App Store).

Fits: Larger small stores and mid market sellers doing 1,000 to 50,000 orders a month with a real fraud problem in digital or high resale categories.

Pick this if you need forensic level data per order and your chargeback losses already justify a $699 monthly line item.
