The verdict
Signifyd focuses on order and payment fraud, typically powered by a shared cross-merchant fraud network. Return Intelligence focuses on return and refund abuse using only your store's own history — never pooled across merchants — with an explainable, deterministic score and a human always making the final call. Different job, different data philosophy.
