Why merchants switch
Four reasons, in the order that matters
Alert effectiveness
See which alerts actually stop a chargeback
Beast scores every alert by outcome: effective, already refunded, turned into a chargeback, or invalid order, and surfaces the spend that did nothing. You see exactly which alerts worked, and which were wasted.
$0 for alerts that don't work
Pay only for alerts that actually work
The industry bills per alert whether or not it prevents a chargeback. Beast bills only on the alerts that stop one: no minimums, no onboarding fees. You never pay for noise.
See every chargeback and dispute yourself
Beast's dual-depth dashboard breaks every chargeback, refund, and alert down by gateway, bank, BIN, acquirer, product, and traffic source, and flags MID health and VAMP exposure, so you see exactly why disputes are happening, without emailing a rep.
Why are my chargebacks up this week?
About 62% of the increase came from charges customers didn't recognize, because the name on their bank statement didn't match your business.
Ask your payments stack in plain English
Beast is AI/MCP-native: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok and ask "why are my chargebacks up this week?" Chargebacks911 uses ML internally but can't be queried conversationally.

The intelligence layer, in the product
Measured, dimensional, and AI-queryable: the layer most chargeback tools don’t have.
Which alerts actually worked, and the spend that did nothing.
How chargebacks push each MID toward penalty thresholds.
How chargebacks mature by cohort, so you predict the final rate early.
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.
