Blocky Fraud Filter IP Blocker and Disputifier: Smart Chargebacks both address fraud concerns on Shopify, but they approach the problem from different angles. Blocky focuses on proactive fraud prevention by blocking unwanted visitors and bots based on IP address, email, phone number, country, and VPN/proxy usage. Its key strength lies in its ability to filter out potentially harmful traffic *before* it interacts with the store. Disputifier, on the other hand, focuses on *reactive* fraud management by helping merchants fight chargebacks. Blocky's target audience is merchants concerned about bot traffic, DMCA claims, and those wanting to restrict access to their store based on geographic location or other criteria. It's particularly useful for stores experiencing issues with copycats or those wanting to protect their content. Disputifier's target audience consists of merchants who are already experiencing chargebacks and need a tool to manage and dispute them effectively. While both apps aim to reduce financial losses due to fraud, Blocky aims to prevent it, and Disputifier helps recover from it.

For merchants primarily concerned with preventing fraudulent activities *before* they impact their store, and who need tools to block bots, IP addresses, or restrict access based on geolocation, Blocky Fraud Filter IP Blocker is the better choice. It provides a proactive approach to safeguarding your store from unwanted visitors and potential threats.
However, if a merchant is already struggling with a high volume of chargebacks and needs a dedicated solution to efficiently manage and dispute them to recover lost revenue, Disputifier: Smart Chargebacks is likely the more suitable option. Disputifier focuses on the aftermath of fraudulent transactions, offering tools to fight back and reclaim funds.
Blocky Fraud Filter IP Blocker is specifically designed to block bots using its Bot Blocker feature, which identifies and blocks bots by Proxy/VPN connection. This makes it the better choice for preventing website scraping.
Disputifier: Smart Chargebacks is designed to help merchants manage and dispute chargebacks. While Blocky aims to prevent fraud upfront, Disputifier helps you recover funds already lost to fraudulent transactions.
While Blocky's proactive blocking features can indirectly reduce the likelihood of chargebacks by preventing fraudulent orders, it does not offer direct chargeback management or dispute tools. Its primary focus is on blocking potentially harmful traffic before it becomes an issue.
