Summary

Many product teams face challenges with low-quality sign-ups, such as disposable emails, bots, and repeat free trial sign-ups, which can inflate growth metrics but ultimately damage business accuracy and trust. These fake accounts distort analytics, waste resources, create compliance risks, and erode trust with legitimate users. WorkOS Radar offers a comprehensive solution through a layered defense system that blocks disposable emails, detects and stops bots, prevents repeat sign-ups, and enforces compliance with sanctioned countries. By implementing these defenses, companies can maintain accurate analytics, reduce fraud-related costs, and ensure a smoother user experience, ultimately focusing on genuine customer growth and satisfaction.
