Most click fraud tools were built when Google Search was simple and IP blocking worked. In the era of Performance Max, Meta Advantage+, and rotating residential proxies, discover how BotRefund protects your spend and recovers cash credits.
ClickCease automatically pushes repeat IPs into Google Ads exclusion lists. Ideal for basic Search campaigns, but ineffective against rotating proxies and unsupported on PMax.
CHEQ focuses on enterprise cybersecurity, compliance, and traffic governance. Sold on rigid annual contracts ($20k–$60k/yr) aimed at CISOs rather than growth marketers.
Lunio (formerly PPC Protect) audits invalid traffic across search and social channels, pushing placement exclusions but leaving financial refunds unaddressed.
ClickGUARD provides complex rule builders to score clicks and automate IP blacklists, but is handcuffed by Google's 500-IP cap and unsupported on PMax.
Fraud Blocker offers budget-friendly IP exclusion management for small businesses, but lacks conversion pixel defense and cannot recover historical ad spend.
TrafficGuard provides pre-bid and post-click verification across search, mobile apps, and affiliate networks, but does not conduct platform refund recovery.
