What is blocked: an IP or a visitor?
Ask whether you can block by visitor identity, by IP address or by both, and what happens when the same visitor returns from a new connection.
ClickPatrol vs AdProtektor
A ClickPatrol alternative with evidence behind each block.
See why a visitor was flagged, which rule or score triggered the action and where it was excluded. AdProtektor keeps that trail for Google Ads and Meta in one place.
ClickPatrol positions its product around click-fraud protection for paid search and social campaigns. When two tools describe similar channels, the useful differences are in the detail: how a visitor is identified, which blocking modes you can choose and how much of each decision you can inspect. Run both evaluations against the same campaigns so the evidence is comparable.
Buyer's guide
What to look for in a click-fraud tool
The category looks crowded — but most tools differ on a handful of dimensions. Evaluate any vendor on these before deciding.
How do search and social enforcement differ?
Google Ads accepts IP exclusions, while Meta works through audiences. Ask how each tool handles both, and how long each takes to take effect.
Can you watch what a flagged visitor did?
Session replay can show the behavior behind a classification. Check which plans include it, how long recordings are kept and how you disclose recording to your visitors.
What happens to a real customer who gets flagged?
Ask how a legitimate visitor is unblocked, whether that can be done in bulk, and whether conversion data can help surface false positives.
Why AdProtektor
Where AdProtektor is built differently
Your rules. Automatic protection.
Set Google Ads click-frequency limits and time windows, adjust protection settings, and let the system evaluate incoming traffic. You do not need to approve each visitor.
More context than an IP address
Device, browser, network and behavioral evidence help link related visits with confidence scores. This can reveal repeat activity across changing connections when the available evidence supports a match.
AI with clear controls
On eligible plans, enable AI person analysis and choose separately whether its findings can influence click or website blocking. Analysis can remain informative without becoming an enforcement decision.
Connected Google Ads and Meta protection
Eligible Google Ads IP exclusions are submitted automatically. Meta uses a separately maintained exclusion audience; account setup, audience matching and platform processing affect when it takes effect.
Evidence when you need it
Inspect classifications, activity history, exclusion records and available session replays. Adjust rules, remove a block or whitelist a legitimate source from the dashboard.
Conversion tracking alongside protection
ConversionOS adds server-side conversion collection, delivery reporting and fraud-aware event handling. Its destinations and filtering depend on your integration, settings and plan.
Where it runs
Install the website script, connect the relevant ad accounts and configure protection. Google Ads uses eligible IP exclusions at the supported account or campaign scope. Meta uses Custom Audience exclusions with scheduled membership synchronization. Connections must be active, and each platform applies its own processing and enforcement rules.

FAQ
Common questions
Why consider AdProtektor as a ClickPatrol alternative?
Consider AdProtektor if you want search and social protection with a choice of blocking modes and a clear record of every action. Compare the two on the campaigns and evidence your team reviews each week.
What blocking modes are available?
Three: by person ID, which survives IP changes, by IP address, or both together. Using both is the recommended setting.
Is session replay available?
Yes, for flagged visitors on Pro plans and above. Recordings are kept for 30 days. Where required, disclose session recording in your privacy notice.
How long does a Meta exclusion take to apply?
Meta exclusions use a Custom Audience that is synchronized on a schedule. Audience matching and Meta's own processing affect when an update reaches your campaigns.
Can I export the blocked list?
Yes. Blocked IPs and people can be exported to CSV, and the Google Ads IP-exclusion log keeps a history of what was submitted.
