Product review
cside account sharing detection review
cside documents an account_shared_detected rule based on distinct devices associated with a stable account over a rolling window. The sharing rule requires manual activation by cside. Current Device Intelligence documentation also says new activations are closed, while existing free, paid, enterprise and trial teams retain access. That access condition matters more to a new buyer than the free plan still shown on marketing pages.
Key facts

- Trusted result
