SEON LAUNCHES FOREVER-FREE FRAUD PREVENTION TOOL IN FIGHT AGAINST CYBER CRIME
As part of its continued efforts to democratize the fight against online fraud for businesses of all sizes, SEON has officially launched a ‘forever free’ version of its industry-leading fraud prevention platform accessible to any online business.
Since its inception, SEON has been making effective online fraud prevention more accessible for all businesses operating online. Now, the company has taken the next step in that mission by announcing a ‘forever free’ version of its online fraud prevention platform. The free plan will help SEON to support businesses across countless verticals, including iGaming, payments, BNPL, online lending, as well as crypto exchanges, and marks a significant advancement in the company’s commitment to building a fraud-free world.
Simply put, SEON is not a typical fraud prevention company. The business operates on a product-led growth (PLG) strategy, which is a first within the broader online fraud prevention space. What’s more, by offering its solution through a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, SEON provides a platform that’s perfectly aligned with modern buying behaviours and highly accessible to businesses of all sizes. Now, by launching the free version of its solution, the company has gone further than ever before in opening access to a leading fraud prevention solution.
The exciting announcement will be officially made as part of SEON’s CEO and co-founder, Tamas Kadar’s Keynote Speech live at the Web Summit conference in Lisbon, between 1st to 4th November. The business has chosen to make the announcement at the conference to ensure the news reaches as many online innovators and start-up businesses as possible.
The free plan will support up to 2000 API calls each month at a rate of two queries per second (QPS). As such, the free version is an ideal solution for any small business that needs immediate and effective fraud prevention. The free version also includes email support from the company’s top-class customer success team. This leading team is made up entirely of ex-fraud managers with the expert industry knowledge to assist businesses as they tackle fraud head-on.
As always, all new SEON users can access the full power of the company’s fraud detection solution on a 14-day free trial. However, at the end of this trial, users will now be automatically moved onto a ‘forever free’ plan. Alongside this, SEON continues to offer its industry-leading Pro plan, which supports businesses that need to process volumes of transactions or data at speed. The Pro service is tailored to serve bulk API calls in real-time responses at 10 QPS, or even faster.
Speaking on the launch, Tamas Kadar CEO and Co-Founder of SEON commented: “We’re determined to tackle fraud head on. To do this effectively, we need everyone to have access to sufficient tools and education, and we have therefore chosen to launch a ‘forever free’ version of our platform. This version will help us to serve a greater number of online businesses than ever before, and it is a major step towards building a truly fraud free world.
“Research shows that online fraud rises in moments of economic strife. Therefore, as we brace for a downturn, the tools we use to stop online fraud need to become more robust. Sadly, for too long, this level of protection has only been available at a very high price point. That’s why for years, we’ve strived to make our service as accessible as possible. Through our ‘forever free’ option we’re able to go even further in that effort.”
“As a company, we make it tough for fraudsters by intelligently combining real-time social signals, phone, email, and IP lookup details with device intelligence and machine learning to uncover fraud patterns and discover revenue opportunities. We enable fraud prevention teams to go further with access to insightful, real-time data from one source.”
SEON’s latest announcement comes off the back of a busy period for the company. In the last few weeks, SEON has announced several important updates to its system, including the continuous improvement to the accuracy of its IP, BIN, email, phone, and platform checks. Fuelled by these updates, the company’s innovative platform continues to achieve exceptional results for its users.
This performance has been highlighted in several recent projects, including an exciting partnership with chargeback management service, Chargeflow. In the past couple of months, SEON has also achieved outstanding results through its partnerships with innovative SaaS anti-money laundering company, Lucinity and AI-powered decisioning platform, Provenir. In addition, SEON continues to operate as the go-to fraud prevention solution of choice for companies like Revolut, NuBank, Afterpay, Patreon, Sorare and mollie.

Flexion Reports Revenue Increase of 9% for 2024

Flexion, the games marketing company, has announced that its revenue grew 9% to year-end December 2024. The growth is attributed to the Company’s success in the alternative app store market.
Since its IPO in 2018, the company has built a well-positioned games marketing business around the alternative stores and grown annual revenue 50-fold to almost US$100 million. Its game portfolio represents several billion US$ in gaming IP for alternative market partners like Samsung, Amazon, Huawei, OneStore and Xiaomi.
“With the Digital Markets Act (DMA) coming into force in Europe and recent legal actions in the US, mobile game developers have felt a new-found freedom to explore their market options. We’ve already moved beyond the era when Google and Apple controlled everything. Developers are looking for alternatives that offer better margins, and additional audiences and revenue. Partnering with Flexion opens up a range of market channels with very little up-front investment,” said Jens Lauritzson, CEO of Flexion.
Flexion currently distributes more than 30 high-profile titles on the alternative stores. Top-tier games in the Flexion portfolio make on average US$ 10 million a year based on Q4 2024 run rate. That’s income in addition to their Google and Apple revenue with a business model that adds little to their costs.
In Q4 2024, Flexion-serviced games were, on average, generating 9.3% through the alternative stores of the revenue they made on Google Play. This is a significant boost for Flexion’s partners without major costs or effort.
“If you scale for the size of the stores, the alternatives massively out-performed Google in Q4 for our games. This is exciting both for Flexion’s business and for the future of the games industry as a whole. We’re seeing the beginning of a sea change in games marketing,” Jens said.
“We’re seeing just the beginnings of a major shift in how top-tier developers address their markets. Using Flexion to access alternative stores is an easy first step into the post- Google and Apple world. Many developers are already looking at their options beyond that and Flexion will be right there with them providing the technology and expertise they need to maximise the potential of their games,” Jens added.
