In their own words
ClickHelm
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.
