FingerprintJS is a browser fingerprinting library that queries browser attributes and computes a hashed visitor identifier from them. Unlike cookies and local storage, a fingerprint stays the same in incognito/private mode and even when browser data is purged.

FingerprintJS is 100% open-source, but its accuracy is limited because it's only a client-side library without a backend.

<script>
  // Initialize the agent at application startup.
  const fpPromise = import('https://openfpcdn.io/fingerprintjs/v3')
    .then(FingerprintJS => FingerprintJS.load())

  // Get the visitor identifier when you need it.
  fpPromise
    .then(fp => fp.get())
    .then(result => {
      // This is the visitor identifier:
      const visitorId = result.visitorId
      console.log(visitorId)
    })
</script>

Fingerprint Pro is a professional visitor identification service that processes all information server-side and transmits it securely to your servers using server-to-server APIs. Pro combines browser fingerprinting with vast amounts of auxiliary data (IP addresses, time of visit patterns, URL changes and more) to be able to reliably deduplicate different users that have identical devices, resulting in the 99.5% identification accuracy. Fingerprint Pro is available for Web, Android, iOS and other platforms.

Pro plans start at $0/month - no credit card required.

Full product comparison:

_{1. Pro uses the open source fingerprinting library as well as proprietary technology for increased accuracy and identifier stability.}

_{2. VisitorIDs, in comparison to fingerprints, include server side techniques, are deduplicated and utilize fuzzy matching to result in a more accurate and stable identifier. Fingerprint hashes rely on an exact match across all browser attributes, making them less stable across > 4 week time intervals.}

_{3. Fingerprint Pro is GDPR and CCPA compliant as the data processor. You still need to be compliant as the data controller and use the identification for fraud prevention under legitimate interest or ask for user consent.}
