Spur vs.

IPinfo

Digital Element

Other IP Data Services

Provides metadata for IPs at the network layer (ASN, infrastructure, geo)

Accuracy and granularity of anonymizer attribution can vary by provider.

Delivers more comprehensive detection than anyone else in the market, covering 60 million+ concurrently active anonymous IPs, and 1,000+ active VPN and proxy services.

Eliminate blind spots with accurate, fresh, and actionable data.

Spur vs.

IPQS

Other IP Scoring Tools

Assigns a risk score to an IP address based on past behavior and other signals

Because scoring is probabilistic, you will flag legitimate traffic and miss some malicious traffic.

Delivers more accurate detection of anonymizers and automation infrastructure for ground-truth network attribution.

Improved interpretability and transparency vs. a rigid score that may not align to your business priorities.

Spur vs.

Maxmind

IP2Location

Other Geolocation Tools

Identifies the approximate physical (or network) location of an IP address

Users (or bots) may route via VPNs/proxies, so there may be a mismatch between stated and actual location, eroding confidence.

Specializes in precise geolocation accuracy rather than self-reported and crowdsourced data.

Accuracy. Customers that have compared solutions say Spur is 41% more accurate than competing tools.

Spur vs.

Fingerprint

Other Device/Behavioral Fingerprinting Tools

Captures attributes like browser version, OS, installed plugins, etc.

Might identify a device, but if users share devices or change devices often, connecting device to user becomes less reliable.

Delivers deep network analysis for fraud and security-focused user risk assessments.

Highest-level accuracy in session-level VPN and residential proxy detection vs. traditional browser and device attributes.

Spur vs.

Arkose Labs

Human

DataDome

Other Fraud and Bot Management Tools

Detects automated/bot attacks and fraud by combining multiple signals

Too aggressive mitigation may block legitimate users or harm conversion; too lenient may let fraud through.

Provides granular detail into specific residential/ malware proxy tradecraft across attack types and use cases, using obfuscation profiles to detect both manual and automated attacks.

Avoid unnecessary challenges for clean users and target truly risky sessions.

Spur vs.

Cloudflare

Akamai

Fastly

Other CDNs/WAFs

Distributes content nearer to users; inspects incoming traffic to the web application and applies rules to block known attack vectors

Sees traffic at the edge but may not have full session context (e.g., device, behavior history, user identity).

Integrates real infrastructure intelligence into edge policies.

More precise WAF rules for smarter edge enforcement.
