Midigator: Scope and Pricing to Verify

Per Equifax's July 2022 announcement, Midigator was founded in 2013 by ecommerce merchants to fight friendly fraud and had prevented more than 2.7 million chargebacks by mid-2022. Equifax's completion announcement confirms the deal closed on 26 August 2022. Per Kount's "Midigator is Kount" page, Kount then began "sunsetting the Midigator brand," keeping the technology and existing contracts in place.

Key Features

• Prevention alerts from Ethoca and Verifi, handled fully automatically or manually through PreventFlow, per Kount's alerts documentation.
• Case management, queues and a dashboard with a VAMP calculator in Kount 360.
• Order Validation (Verifi and Ethoca inquiries and deflections), an Inform table for Visa chargebacks and fraud, and MID-level analytics by reason code, card brand and top 20 BINs, per the September 2026 release notes.
• Compelling Evidence data in the interface and an optional device data collector.
• Pre-authorization fraud screening available from the same vendor through Payments Fraud on Kount 360.

Pricing

• Not published. Kount's pricing page asks you to "request a quote," and Equifax's dispute page routes to a demo request.
• Per Kount's invoice guide, the invoice format does not include a rate field, so you work out unit rates by dividing the product amount by quantity.

Limitations

1. No public pricing, so cost comparisons need a sales cycle.
2. Repeated change: the brand moved from Midigator to Kount, logins moved to app.kount.com, and per Kount's migration guide the Equifax Orders API replaces the Midigator Orders API.
3. Per Kount's developer documentation, chargeback data is sent through an Upload API with bearer tokens, so plan for engineering time.

Feature Comparison

Midigator Pricing vs Chargeflow: Compare the Full Cost

What Happened to Midigator: A Dated Timeline

Some comparison pages list the wrong acquisition year. These dates come from Equifax and Kount pages, as checked on 28 October 2026.

The takeaway: if you signed with Midigator, you now buy from Equifax, log in to a different app, and integrate with a different API. That is the right moment to re-run the vendor decision.

Pricing Transparency: What You Can Budget Before a Sales Call

With Chargeflow, you can price a disputed order today. With the Kount platform, every line below needs a quote.

Worked example: 200 disputes a month at a $250 average. If alerts deflect 80 and you win half of the remaining 120 (an illustrative rate, not a promise), Chargeflow costs at most $2,320 for alerts plus $3,750 in win fees, against $15,000 recovered. Volume rates above 50 alerts a month bring the alert line down.

When you request a Kount quote, ask for each of these in writing: per-alert fee by network, per-case or success fee, platform or seat fee, implementation fee, monthly minimums, term length and renewal notice. Our cost comparison guide shows how to normalize quotes.

Which Job Each Platform Does

Equifax positions Kount for fraud before authorization and Midigator's technology for what happens after. Chargeflow focuses on the post-transaction side, where friendly fraud lives, and adds pre-shipment scoring.

VAMP and ECM: Why Prevention Counts More Than Wins

Stripe's monitoring program guide explains that recovery outcomes and network monitoring are separate. Winning a dispute does not erase the original report. Eligible pre-dispute resolutions can be excluded under the applicable rules, while separate fraud reports may still count. Thresholds and exclusions depend on the program, region and acquirer.

Example: 120,000 Visa transactions and 2,000 disputes plus fraud reports in a month is a 1.67% ratio. Deflecting 600 of those disputes before they post brings the ratio to 1.17% and the count to 1,400, under both Excessive limits. Kount 360 includes a VAMP calculator for its customers; Chargeflow's VAMP calculator is free for anyone.

Midigator to Chargeflow: Migration and Switching Checklist

Kount’s June 2026 migration documentation moves the workspace to Kount 360 and maps the Midigator Orders API to the Equifax Orders API. Treat a provider change as a separate project with named owners.

Who owns Midigator?
Equifax owns Midigator. Equifax announced the deal on 26 July 2022 and completed it on 26 August 2022, placing Midigator in its US Information Solutions unit alongside Kount, which Equifax already owned. The Midigator brand has since been retired in favor of Kount.

What are the best Midigator alternatives?
Chargeflow is a strong alternative for merchants who want automated recovery and alerts with published product pricing, supported native integrations and free Insights analytics. Kount 360 is the migration destination for existing Midigator customers. Compare the full quote, case ownership and merchant workload before switching.

Is Midigator a chargeback company?
Yes. Midigator was founded in 2013 as a post-transaction platform for chargeback prevention and dispute management. Per Equifax in 2022, it had prevented more than 2.7 million chargebacks. Its technology now runs inside Kount 360 Chargeback Management, owned by Equifax.

Chargeflow vs Midigator: which is better?
Chargeflow is a strong fit for ecommerce and SaaS teams prioritizing automated recovery, clear product pricing and one view of dispute performance. Former Midigator customers should compare that workflow with their current Kount 360 service, including contract terms, integrations and open-case ownership. Recovery outcomes depend on each case.

How do I switch from Midigator to another provider?
Review contract and cancellation terms, export case and evidence history, assign each open dispute one owner, and coordinate alert enrollments by MID and descriptor. Test the replacement integrations and reconcile final invoices. Do not assume migration transfers evidence automatically or that one billing cycle contains final results for every dispute.
