Consumer Subscription Abuse Prevention

Consumer subscription abuse prevention strategies focus on identifying and mitigating the misuse of subscription services to protect revenue and ensure compliance with terms of service. This issue gained significant attention when Netflix reported that nearly half of its global household users were sharing platform access with non-paid users, leading to substantial revenue loss. The streaming giant’s shift from a password-sharing-friendly approach to implementing device-level and geolocation signal intelligence marked the beginning of a broader industry focus on preventing subscription abuse.

The market for subscription abuse prevention has grown rapidly, driven by the need for streaming platforms and other subscription-based services to secure their revenues and reduce unauthorized access.

 The global subscription abuse prevention market is projected to grow to $2.32 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 15.8%

As the subscription economy expands, businesses across various sectors, including regulated gaming, eCommerce, and workforce management, are adopting low-friction, AI-enabled authentication solutions to combat subscription abuse. These solutions leverage device fingerprinting, geolocation data, and behavioral analytics to distinguish between legitimate and unauthorized users, ensuring high-quality user experiences while protecting revenue.
