Pricing, plainly
Alerts as a blind cost, or a measured line?
With most chargeback tools, alerts are a cost center: third-party figures put Ethoca alerts at ~$30–40 and CDRN at ~$9–35 each, billed whether or not they prevent a chargeback, on top of minimums and onboarding fees. With Beast, alerts are a measured line: you see which alerts actually prevented a chargeback and pay only for those. The ones that did nothing? You can request credits.
If an alert didn't stop a chargeback, you shouldn't pay for it: Beast shows you which did.
