SAAS TRIAL ABUSE

Stop repeat trial abuse before fake users enter your product

Use Signup Risk Score API to detect burner emails, suspicious account details, risky infrastructure, and low-quality signup patterns before users create repeat accounts or abuse free-tier access.

THE PROBLEM

Free trials attract more than real buyers

SaaS trials reduce friction for legitimate buyers, but they can also attract repeat abusers, disposable inboxes, suspicious account details, and risky infrastructure. Signup risk scoring gives your product a checkpoint before fake users consume product resources.

Repeat free-trial abuse

Users create multiple accounts to keep accessing trial or free-tier features without converting.

Burner email signups

Disposable domains and temporary inboxes make it easy to create low-commitment or abusive accounts.

Risky infrastructure

Datacenter, VPN, proxy, Tor, or other high-risk network context can indicate attempts to hide signup behavior.

HOW IT HELPS

Score each signup before access is granted

Send the signup context your app already collects and get back a risk decision your product can use immediately.

STEP 1

Send signup context

Pass the email, optional name, optional IP address, and SaaS industry context during account creation.

STEP 2

Run risk checks

The API evaluates disposable email evidence, domain infrastructure, provider classification, identity details, name match, and optional IP reputation.

STEP 3

Route the user

Allow trusted users, review uncertain signups, or block very high-risk attempts before they consume product resources.

RISK CHECKS

Checks that matter for SaaS trial abuse

Disposable email detection

Identify confirmed or likely burner domains commonly used for fake accounts and repeat trials.

Name match

Compare supplied name details with the email local part and flag mismatches or low-quality account details.

IP reputation

Classify contextual infrastructure risk such as datacenter, VPN, proxy, and Tor usage without returning raw IPs.

Provider classification

Understand whether the email appears to use a free provider, business domain, disposable provider, or unknown provider.

Domain infrastructure

Check DNS, MX, SPF, and DMARC posture while separating non-existent domains from temporary lookup failures.

Historical risk cache

Reuse recent risk results to reduce repeated analysis and recognize recurring signup patterns.

DECISIONING

Turn trial signups into allow, review, or block decisions

ALLOW

Let low-risk users create accounts normally when the checks show no major concerns.

REVIEW

Challenge uncertain signups with email confirmation, extra verification, manual review, or usage limits.

BLOCK

Stop very high-risk attempts before they create accounts, consume trial resources, or enter your product database.

WORKFLOW

Where signup scoring fits in a SaaS product

01

User submits trial signup form

02

Your app sends email, optional name, optional IP, and SaaS context

03

Signup Risk Score API returns email details, decision, checks, explanation, and metadata

04

Your app allows, reviews, or blocks the signup

Use the recommendation directly for a low-maintenance integration, or inspect the check breakdown for custom trial access rules.

OUTCOMES

Reduce abuse without adding friction for real users

Protect free-tier resources

Reduce repeat account creation from users trying to avoid trial limits.

Improve activation data

Keep fake users and low-quality signups from distorting trial metrics.

Lower support burden

Stop suspicious accounts before they create moderation, billing, abuse, or support issues.

Preserve signup conversion

Apply extra friction only when risk details justify it instead of challenging every user.
