Real-time transaction fraud and financial crime detection for banks and payment processors
- From
- On request
- Free plan
- No
The short version
- Only Sweep has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Feedzai pricing is per transaction with an annual minimum, so a bank with seasonal or growing volume commits to a floor it may not use and pays overage above the band.; Sweep limited to JetBrains IDEs only, not available for VS Code or other editors
- They diverge on capability: Feedzai covers Real-time scoring, Sweep covers Autocomplete.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Feedzai
- Pricing is per transaction with an annual minimum, so a bank with seasonal or growing volume commits to a floor it may not use and pays overage above the band.
- It sits in the authorisation path, which makes every upgrade a change-controlled event with rollback plans, and the operational burden falls on the bank rather than the vendor.
- Out of the box models need months of the customer own labelled fraud history before they beat the rules they replace, so the value case starts late.
- AML and fraud are licensed as separate modules, so institutions expecting one platform fee find the transaction monitoring capability is a second line item.
- The buyer profile is large institutions, so smaller banks and fintechs face minimums that make per-transaction economics unattractive below significant scale.
Sweep
- Limited to JetBrains IDEs only, not available for VS Code or other editors
- Free tier limited to 1,000 autocompletes per month
- API credit consumption varies by feature usage
- Performance dependent on codebase size and indexing quality

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Feedzai: Can Feedzai run on-premises?
Yes. On-premises and private cloud deployments are supported, which is why it appears in markets where transaction data cannot legally leave the country.
Sweep: What programming languages does Sweep support?
Sweep works with all programming languages supported by JetBrains IDEs, including Python, Java, JavaScript, Go, Kotlin, C++, and many others.
SourceFeedzai: Does it cover AML as well as fraud?
It does, but transaction monitoring is a separately licensed module. Assume two line items if you want both.
Sweep: Does Sweep retain my code data?
No. Sweep is SOC 2 Type II certified with zero data retention. Code is processed for suggestions but not stored.
SourceFeedzai: How fast are decisions?
Designed for the authorisation window, typically tens of milliseconds. This is the constraint that rules out batch scoring architectures.
Sweep: Can I cancel my Sweep subscription anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings with no long-term commitments or cancellation fees.
