MIDA works with rules. You choose which IP addresses, countries, regions or connection types to block. On its higher plans you also set rules for checkout, like blocking certain emails, phone numbers or zip codes. That works well when you know who you want to keep out.
The weak spot is bots that look normal. Bots that use ordinary home internet connections in your own country pass location rules. Skyfense checks how each visitor actually behaves on your store, so it can catch software pretending to be a shopper even when it comes from a normal place.
The other big difference is ads. If you pay Google, Facebook or TikTok for clicks, Skyfense shows you which of those clicks were bots, and what they cost you.
