As per their site they provide: Firewall (WAF), Malicious Bot Mitigation which both are provided free by Cloudflare. The only additional feature they offer is: Web Content Scraping Prevention but that too you can add custom firewall rules in Cloudflare or any similar CDN/security provider for free!
Why pay BotGuard $0.01 per 1000 requests which is like $6.50/month if a site gets 5000 daily visitors?? The price is costly for small sites, but for big sites it will be too costly!!!
Thank you
They said to have the first 100,000 requests free.
I' interested more in the technical part. They are doing what they are saying to do?
The content written on the site should be by law 100% true or users can condemn them.
I think that the Cloudflare is more good. I've never has issues with them.
If you are just about the service "Web Content scraping" they are many ways to help yourself with:
_ You can get information like resolution, timezone etc with js that you can use to identify users.
If you are using WP you can use the plugins: Google Plus Authorship, Feed Delay, Anti Feed-Scraper Message, Copyright Proof to prevent web scraping
