ClickDefender vs SKUDO

ClickDefender is a paid click-fraud protection service for PPC campaigns on Google Ads and Microsoft Ads. It uses a JavaScript tracking script, real-time detection, analytics, IP blocklists, API access, and alerts. The maker says its AI evaluates clicks across more than 50 signals, including browser fingerprints, scroll depth, time on page, click patterns, and other behavioral indicators, to identify bots, click farms, and competitor activity. Dashboards report traffic sources, IP addresses, geographic distribution, device types, and fraud trends. Google Ads can receive blocked-IP exclusions every six hours, up to 500 IPs per campaign. Microsoft Ads automation is listed as in development; users can export a blocklist for manual import. Slack alerts and HTTP webhooks send fraud events externally. Setup supports JavaScript or Google Tag Manager, with guidance for WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, and custom HTML. Plans start at £49 a month, with a seven-day trial requiring a payment method and converting to a subscription unless canceled.
