ClickHelm vs ClickLens

ClickHelm is click-fraud protection that identifies devices and can block people rather than relying on IP addresses. It evaluates device characteristics, network type, click identifiers, and on-site behavior to produce a named risk score. Blocking is not automatic unless a customer creates a rule to enable it. The free edition records and scores visitors, identifies VPNs and crawlers, and counts calls, WhatsApp messages, forms, and orders, but does not block visitors. Paid plans add blocking and may include Google Ads reporting, rules, alerts, or client reporting. Detection and blocking cover traffic from Google Ads, Meta, Microsoft Ads, TikTok, organic search, and direct visits, while campaign spend matching is specific to Google Ads. ClickHelm runs as a web service or can be self-hosted on WordPress 5.6 or newer, PHP 7.2 or newer, and MySQL or MariaDB. Visitor data remains in the customer's WordPress database, though visitor addresses may be sent for VPN, proxy, Tor, or data-centre classification. ClickHelm starts recording after installation and does not import historical traffic. Paid plans start at $29 a month.

ClickLens scores advertising sessions for click fraud and grades conversion provenance in real time. Its JavaScript tag evaluates each session against more than 40 behavioral signals, including device fingerprint consistency, automation markers, and network indicators. Scores range from 0 to 100: above 70 is classified as human, 40 to 70 as suspect, and below 40 as bot. Conversion verdicts can pass, downweight, or retract a conversion, and the dashboard identifies the signals and flags behind each verdict. Installation guides cover Shopify, WordPress, WooCommerce, and Google Tag Manager. Google Ads IP and placement exclusions can sync automatically. Microsoft and Meta placement sync is rolling out, while TikTok placements are report-only. The tag does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, form values, or typed text. It is about 13 KB gzipped, loads asynchronously, and does not block page rendering. The Free plan covers 1,000 sessions per month; Starter costs $49 a month and covers 10,000 sessions per month. After a monthly session limit is reached, the tag keeps loading but stops sending data until the account is upgraded.
