02 Why teams migrate

Why teams pick TrustSig over DataDome

DataDome is a strong enterprise platform. The mismatch is the buying motion and the footprint — not everyone wants a contract and a managed edge module.

Start without a 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.

Transparent pricing

Quote-based enterprise pricing makes budgeting hard. TrustSig's pricing is public, with a genuinely free tier that includes the full engine.

Lightweight integration

Two npm packages and a local verify, with no infrastructure changes — instead of deploying and operating a managed edge module.

EU single jurisdiction

TrustSig processes only in Germany, cookieless and with no PII — a clean GDPR answer rather than a multi-region enterprise data map.

Deterministic and local

verifyLocal() returns a clear verdict on your own server with no per-request call to a managed service.

Right-sized for SMB and product teams

You get invisible, hardware-level protection without enterprise overhead — and you can scale on transparent paid plans when you need to.

03 Integration

Add TrustSig in minutes

No edge module to deploy. Add the invisible scan on the frontend and a local verify on the server. Two npm packages, no infrastructure changes.

  1. Frontend — invisible scan
    import { useTrustSig } from "@trustsig/react"
    
    function ActionForm() {
      const { scan } = useTrustSig()
    
      const handleSubmit = async () => {
        const response = await scan()
        await fetch("/api/action", {
          headers: { "X-TrustSig-Response": response?.token || "" },
        })
      }
    }
  2. Backend — local verify
    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"]
    
      // decision made locally — no managed edge call
      const result = ts.verifyLocal(token)
    
      if (result.action === "BLOCK")
        return res.status(403).json({ error: "Blocked" })
    })

What counts as a check?

One check is a single verification request: a page view, form submit, or login attempt that TrustSig evaluates. You only spend a check when traffic actually hits a protected surface, so bot floods do not quietly drain your quota.
