Billing is available monthly, quarterly (10% discount) or yearly (20% discount), in USD, EUR or GBP. No long-term contracts or setup fees. A 7-day free trial is available on all plans. The Custom plan covers unlimited ad spend, websites and PPC accounts, and adds personal onboarding and a dedicated Customer Success Manager.Plans are priced by monthly Google Ads spend, not by visits or clicks, so the price doesn't rise with organic or internal traffic. Starter covers up to $6,000 a month in ad spend and 1 website, Professional up to $20,000 and 5 websites, Growth up to $30,000 and 15 websites, and Scale up to $50,000 with unlimited websites. Custom plans start at $629 a month for ad spend above $50,000. Microsoft Advertising protection is included from the Growth plan upwards.

    ClickGAURD is highly suitable for detecting and preventing fraudulent clicks and helps generate higher revenues with the same marketing budgets. The reports created by ClickGUARD are also very helpful in understanding the impact and returns on the campaigns. It also helps identifies the geographies from where the fraudulent clicks are coming to help us take preventive measures. Having detailed documentation to get it deployed and get users onboarded quickly will be very helpful.

    Pros
    ClickGUARD
    • The real-time notifications are one of the best features of ClickGUARD for me.
    • Automatic malicious click deflection is also a feature that I appreciate.
    • There have been instances where a large number of clicks were made, but the resulting conversions were much below expectations.

    Cons
    ClickGUARD
    • The one thing I've noticed that I believe is a disadvantage would have to be the lack of support on weekends or holidays which is understandable but at the same time, I'm sure people expect to still be supported right around the clock if that is what is advertised.

    I actually haven't found the need to use their customer support as yet but I'm sure that they are knowledgable and would assist any way they can.

    formerly know as PPC Protect, now known as Lunio. we side by side user lunio as well and only problem with lunio was pricing. no doubt lunio has better feature set to stack against ClickGaurd but we didn't required that many features to begin with. ClickGaurd is simple solution for us and we are planning to explore it full before moving to any other platform

    • Prior to acquiring Clickguard, I wasn't even able to trust the numbers I was seeing and my money was being wasted. Since getting this app, there has been a total turn around in conversions, and sales have increased.
