Pricing

No price could be read from the vendor's own pricing page today, which returns a JavaScript challenge (403) to fetches. A competitor's August 2026 write-up of DataDome's AWS Marketplace listing reports four 12-month tiers priced by inspected requests: Essentials $45,960 a year (about $3,830 a month, up to 100M requests), Advanced $104,040, Premium $121,920 and Enterprise $159,240, with per-request overage; direct quotes are negotiated separately and account-fraud and ad-fraud products are sold on top.
Use tool ↗About DataDome
DataDome is bot-mitigation software that inspects traffic to websites, APIs and mobile apps and blocks scraping, credential stuffing and other automated abuse, typically deployed as an edge or reverse-proxy layer in front of the protected site. Its own marketing site serves a JavaScript challenge to automated fetches and returned 403 on every attempt, including the pricing page, so facts here rest on third-party sources. The company was founded in Paris in 2015 by Benjamin Fabre and Fabien Grenier and has raised more than $70 million, with offices in New York and Singapore. Pricing is sold through sales and priced by inspected request volume; the public list prices on its AWS Marketplace listing start near $46,000 a year for the Essentials tier, aimed at mid-size and enterprise sites rather than solo developers.

Pros & cons of DataDome
DataDome is real-time bot and fraud protection for sites actually being targeted by scraping or credential-stuffing at scale, backed by a decade-old company with real funding and enterprise customers. It is priced and sold like enterprise security software, with a five-figure-a-year floor, so it does not fit a small site's budget the way a basic firewall rule would.
Pros
- Covers website, mobile app, and API traffic under one bot-detection layer
- Founded 2015 with substantial funding and an established customer base
- Tiered plans separate basic bot protection from managed SOC and threat-intel services
- Pre-built integrations reduce setup work versus a custom rule engine
Cons
- Entry pricing starts near $3,800/month, out of reach for small sites
- No self-serve trial visible — a sales quote is required
- The company's own site blocked our automated research, so several claims rest on third-party sources
Best for
- E-commerce or ticketing sites facing scraping and credential-stuffing attacks
- Enterprises needing bot protection across web, mobile, and API traffic
Not for
- Small sites or side projects with limited security budget
- Teams wanting self-serve signup instead of a sales quote
Watch out: Higher tiers (mobile/API protection, managed SOC) cost multiples of the entry Essentials tier, so the advertised starting price understates what most real deployments end up paying.
