    Click Cease paid for itself within the first week

    Date: Dec 31 2020
    Summary

    So far it has been a good experience. I have enjoyed not having to stay on top of it all the time and just trusting Click Cease to take care of it.

    Positive

    This is very effective at blocking spam and recognizing things that would otherwise take forever to look for.

    Negative

    The rules can take a while to figure out in order to make sure you're not blocking the wrong people. That's not a knock on Click Cease, it just comes with the territory. They give good options to adjust thoroughly.

    Excellent clock fraud software

    Date: Dec 31 2020
    Summary

    Love the software interface and the simplicity of using it. The screen recording is a plus too. Must buy for anyone who advertise PPC.

    Positive

    Easy to use. They have a Wordpress plugin to install their tracking code on my Wordpress website easily. Saves me money and much time dealing with fraud clicks from competitors.

    Negative

    Nothing so far in my opinion. I hope they would lower their price comparing to some other competitors. But I love their interface that’s why I didn’t switch

    Must have if you do PPC

    Date: Dec 31 2020
    Summary

    Great experience overall, I have used this to block many IPs with suspected fraud and have saved valuable ad budget.

    Positive

    I love the dashboard and how clear the information is presented. You can be on top of your PPC clicks activity and act quickly thanks to email alerts of suspicious activity.

    Negative

    No automatic ip blocking on the basic plan, you have to manually go to google ads and block flagged IPs.

    It's definitely a great tool to prevent fraud on your PPC accounts. Hopefully Bing will allow them to block IPs soon.

    Negative

    There is no direct connection with Bing Ads to block IPs, you need to add IPs manually to Bing.
