Radar vs. Purple

Radar is a location intelligence platform that product, engineering, fraud, and marketing teams use to verify user location, track real-world activity, and add maps and address features to their web and mobile apps. Teams integrate Radar through native SDKs for iOS and Android, a JavaScript SDK, and REST APIs. The platform is built around three solutions. Protect verifies user location and detects fraud, including GPS spoofing, VPN and proxy use, impossible travel, account takeover, and promotion abuse, along with geo-compliance checks in regulated markets.

Purple improves the way people connect in the real world. Our identity-based platform runs guest, staff, and multi-tenant WiFi from one place, integrating with the network infrastructure you already have. Guests log in once and become known customers, giving you first-party data you can act on to deepen loyalty and drive revenue. Staff get passwordless, zero trust access that provisions in seconds and revokes automatically when someone leaves, with no shared passwords or MAC whitelisting. Residents and students get their own private network bubble rather than a shared connection.
