Genuinely free Radar Lite tier provides basic AI fraud prevention for standard Stripe merchants
Deep native integration directly within existing Stripe payment processing, no separate tool needed
Machine learning trained on data from millions of Stripe network businesses provides broad fraud pattern detection

Headline subscription prices ($10-$20/month) dramatically understate real cost at meaningful transaction volume
Custom rules, granular risk scores, and manual review require paid tiers most mid-market merchants actually need
Real costs scale substantially with transaction volume — $5,000/month at 100K attempts, $25,000/month at 500K

Deeply integrated across Google’s broader ecosystem (Search, Workspace, Android)
Ultra tier pricing was reduced from its original $250/month, improving accessibility
API pricing offers genuinely low-cost options (Flash-Lite at $0.10/million tokens) for cost-sensitive applications

Full Workspace integration requires at least Business Standard ($14/user/month), not available on cheaper Workspace tiers
Credit-based system layered on top of tier usage limits adds complexity to understanding real usage capacity
Ultra tier’s $99.99-$199.99/month range represents significant cost for maximum usage limits and Deep Think access
