Pure e-commerce fraud (Forter / Signifyd / Riskified better), Stripe-bundled commerce (Stripe Radar simpler), or pure AML without fraud (ComplyAdvantage cheaper).
Fintech, crypto, and neobanks (50-2,000+ employees) wanting fraud + AML unified with modern device intelligence and behavioral biometrics.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Sardine’s product card in our Top 10 Fraud Detection Software for 2026:
- ! Smaller installed base than Sift
- ! E-commerce coverage shallower than Forter / Signifyd
- ! Pricing opaque
- ! Support depends on tier
- ! Younger vendor (2020-founded) for risk-averse enterprises
