Our Mission

The Problem We Know Too Well

As SaaS operators ourselves, we've experienced the frustration of dealing with fake signups, disposable emails, and bot traffic that skews our metrics and wastes our resources. We've seen our signup conversion rates drop because of invalid email addresses, our customer support overwhelmed by users who never intended to be real customers, and our analytics polluted by automated traffic.

Traditional solutions either require intrusive captchas that hurt user experience and conversion rates, or they're too complex and expensive for smaller companies. We tried them all — from Google reCAPTCHA to enterprise-grade solutions — and found ourselves stuck between protecting our product and providing a great user experience.

Why We Built Bottyfier

We created Bottyfier because we needed it ourselves. We wanted a simple, API-first solution that could stop bad actors before they even reached our application, without any impact on legitimate users. No captchas, no friction, no compromises.

We use Bottyfier to protect our own SaaS products, and we know exactly what patterns to look for because we've seen them all. From disposable email services that pop up overnight to VPN networks used by scrapers, we've built our detection algorithms based on real-world experience.

Our Experience with SaaS Abuse

Running multiple SaaS products has given us unique insight into the patterns of abuse. We see:

Competitors signing up with fake emails to scrape our features and pricing
Automated bots creating hundreds of accounts to test our limits
Users from specific IP ranges consistently creating accounts that never convert
Disposable email services being used to bypass our trial limitations
VPN networks being used to create multiple accounts from the same user

These patterns taught us what to look for, and more importantly, how to detect them without impacting legitimate users.

What Makes Us Different

Unlike companies that just aggregate data from third parties, we actively run and protect SaaS products. This gives us several advantages:

Real-world testing: Every detection algorithm is tested on our own products first
Low false positives: We understand the cost of blocking legitimate users
Practical implementation: We know what works in production, not just in theory
Continuous improvement: We see new attack patterns as they emerge

Our Goal

Our goal is simple: make bot protection accessible to every SaaS company, from indie developers to growing startups. We believe that every product should be able to protect itself from abuse without sacrificing user experience or breaking the bank.

We're not trying to build the most complex solution or the one with the most features. We're building the solution we wish we'd had when we started — simple, effective, and affordable.
