TrustSig vs DataDome

DataDome is sold and run as a managed enterprise platform. These rows cover how you start, what you deploy and where the data sits.

02 Why teams migrate

Buy it without a contract or an edge module

The mismatch is the buying motion and the deployment weight, not the detection.

No sales process

DataDome is bought through a demo and a contract. TrustSig is self-serve: create an account, integrate, ship. The free tier needs no card and no call.

Public pricing

Quote-based enterprise pricing makes a budget hard to write before the call. TrustSig's plans are published, and the free tier carries the full engine.

Two npm packages

Install the client and server packages and add one verify call, instead of deploying and operating a managed edge module in your request path.

One jurisdiction

TrustSig processes only in Germany, sets no cookies, and scopes every device id to one project. That is one jurisdiction to document, not a multi-region data map.

Deterministic verdicts

verifyRemote() answers with a verdict and the reason codes behind it, so a blocked signup comes with the evidence for it.

No enterprise overhead

You get invisible hardware-level protection without an enterprise process wrapped around it, and you add volume when you need it.

03 Integration

Add TrustSig in minutes

Nothing to deploy at the edge. Add the scan on the frontend and one verify call on the server, in two npm packages.

  1. Frontend: invisible scan
    import { useTrustSig } from "@trustsig/react"
    
    function ActionForm() {
      const { getResponse } = useTrustSig()
    
      const handleSubmit = async () => {
        const response = await getResponse()
        await fetch("/api/action", {
          headers: { "X-TrustSig-Response": response?.token || "" },
        })
      }
    }
  2. Backend: one verify call
    import { TrustSig } from "@trustsig/server"
    
    const ts = new TrustSig({ secretKey: process.env.TRUSTSIG_SECRET_KEY })
    
    app.post("/api/action", async (req, res) => {
      const token = req.headers["x-trustsig-response"]
    
      const result = await ts.verifyRemote(token)
    
      if (result.action !== "ALLOW")
        return res.status(403).json({ error: "Blocked" })
    })

05 FAQ

DataDome alternative questions

Yes. The free tier is the complete threat engine and 5,000 requests a month, and it needs no sales call and no credit card.

The detection model is hardware-level and deterministic, and the paid plans scale request volume on published pricing. You start small and grow without renegotiating a contract.

Much lighter. There is no edge or server module to deploy and operate, just two npm packages and one verify call, with no infrastructure changes.

Only in Germany, with no cookies. Every device id is scoped to one project, so the same machine returns a different id to every customer.

The same detection engine the paid plans run, at 5,000 requests a month, with no card.

Start today, without a sales call in the way.
