Make every subscription actually mean one household.
Device-level identity enforcement that turns metered paywalls, concurrent-stream limits, and geo-restrictions into rules that survive incognito, VPN, and password sharing. TRACIO protects revenue without alienating your audience.
35% of streaming revenue walks out the door.
Password sharing is the largest revenue leak in streaming. When a subscription gets passed across households, 25–35% of potential revenue evaporates. Device limits are trivially bypassed by clearing cookies or switching browsers — the math only works when subscriptions reflect actual households.
For publishers, metered paywalls fail the same way — incognito tabs reset article limits instantly. Ad-supported sites face bot traffic inflating 15–20% of impressions, draining advertiser trust and depressing actual rates.
Industry-specific device intelligence
Hardware-Level Device Counting
Count physical devices per subscription — not sessions, not cookies. A 4-screen plan means 4 devices, enforced by hardware identity that survives resets.
Paywall Persistence
Bind article or content meters to the physical device. Clearing cookies, switching browsers, or opening incognito no longer resets the count.
Ad Fraud Filtering
Validate every ad impression against device signals. Filter bot-generated views before they reach your ad server, protecting CPMs and advertiser relationships.
Geo-License Enforcement
Verify viewer location with device signals beyond IP geolocation. VPN tunneling is caught before playback, protecting content licensing agreements.
Stream-Start Risk Score
Sub-50ms risk assessment before the video player initializes. Device trust, bot signals, and geo-compliance evaluated in a single API call.
Cross-Account Device Graph
Map device-to-subscription relationships across your user base. Identify sharing clusters, free-tier farmers, and organized resale rings through hardware linkage.
Where streaming and media revenue leaks
Password & Account Sharing
Count real devices per subscription. When unique hardware exceeds the plan limit, prompt upsell or restrict — no more unlimited sharing on a single-user plan.
Learn moreContent & Media Scraping
Block aggregators siphoning articles, video metadata, and media assets at industrial scale. TLS fingerprinting detects scrapers behind real browsers.
Learn morePaywall & Metered Content Protection
Enforce metered paywalls with device identity that survives incognito, cookie clears, and browser reinstalls. One device, one article count.
Learn moreCredential Stuffing & ATO
Protect subscriber accounts from automated login attacks. Device-based rate limiting blocks bots cycling through breached credential lists.
Learn moreBefore vs. after TRACIO
- One subscription shared across 5+ households with no enforcement
- Metered paywalls reset by opening an incognito tab or switching browsers
- 15–20% of ad impressions wasted on bot traffic with inflated CPM reports
- Content scrapers republish articles hours after publication
- VPN tunneling accesses geo-restricted libraries, violating licensing deals
- Device-counted limits enforce plan boundaries at the hardware level
- Paywall meter persists across incognito, browser switches, and reinstalls
- Bot impressions filtered before the ad server — clean metrics, real CPMs
- Scrapers caught at the edge by TLS fingerprint and headless detection
- Geo-restrictions enforced with device signals that VPNs cannot spoof
