A ClickCease alternative for Google Ads
stopfakeclicks blocks bots and repeat clickers in Google Ads for $9.99 a month per website, after a 14-day free trial. ClickCease lists plans from USD 99 a month and also covers Meta and Microsoft ads. If you only advertise on Google, stopfakeclicks does the core job, excluding the IP addresses of bad clickers in your own Google Ads account, for about a tenth of ClickCease's list price.

When ClickCease is the better choice
- You also run Meta or Microsoft Ads. stopfakeclicks works with Google Ads only.
- You want fake leads filtered out of HubSpot. ClickCease's Lead Shield checks them; stopfakeclicks doesn't.
- You want bots kept off your whole website, not only out of your ad audience. stopfakeclicks acts only on paid Google clicks.
- You run an agency that needs white-label reports. ClickCease lists them. stopfakeclicks runs many client sites from one account, each with its own settings and stats, but has no white-label reports.
Why people pick stopfakeclicks
- One plan at $9.99 a month per website, with no caps on clicks or visits.
- A careful start. For the first 7 days nothing is blocked. You see what would have been blocked, with IP, time, device, campaign and keyword, before you switch blocking on.
- Buyers stay safe. Anyone who adds to cart or buys is never blocked, and shared mobile network addresses are never blocked.
- Account guard. If someone gets into your Google Ads account, new campaigns, sudden budget jumps and ads pointing to a site that isn't yours are paused until you approve them. It happened to us: two strangers' campaigns with daily budgets of £15,000 and £5,000, set up around midnight.
Switching from ClickCease
- 1Start the stopfakeclicks trial and add the tag to your site. For 7 days it only watches, so it can run next to ClickCease.
- 2Before you switch blocking on, remove the IP exclusions ClickCease added in Google Ads, at account and campaign level. stopfakeclicks never removes IPs it didn't add, so old entries would keep taking places on the list.
- 3Cancel ClickCease. Their pricing page says you can cancel any time.
