Lunio vs AdProtektor

The Lunio alternative for teams that want to install today.

Lunio has built a strong product for enterprise advertisers and large agencies. But that model — annual contracts, sales-led pricing, custom onboarding — is friction if you're a performance team that wants to plug in a click-fraud tool today and see what it catches by Friday. AdProtektor is the same category of product, built for self-serve: $84/month, 5-minute install, real free trial.

The click-fraud-protection category has split by go-to-market motion, not by underlying technology. Enterprise-tier tools optimize for the sales cycle: long pilots, custom dashboards, integration with internal BI. Self-serve tools optimize for time-to-first-value: paste a script, see fraud blocked the same hour. Both can use the same underlying detection signals — the question is whether you want to spend a quarter procuring software or a Tuesday afternoon installing it. AdProtektor is the second kind of tool, with the same detection depth (150+ device and behavioral signals, person-based profiling, multi-platform enforcement) as the enterprise category.

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.

Time to first signal

How fast can you see what's actually happening on your traffic? Tools that require a sales call before they show you fraud data have effectively locked detection behind procurement. The right question to ask: "Can I see your detection on my real traffic within 24 hours, without a contract?"

Contract structure

Annual minimums, custom MSAs, and per-seat pricing make sense for tools you're committing to as core infrastructure. For a click-fraud tool, you usually want the ability to evaluate against your live traffic for a week, then either scale up or walk away. Month-to-month with a free trial is the friction-free version.

Detection technology

Per-tool feature lists can sound similar; the differences are in how detection actually works. Look for: behavioral fingerprinting (not just IP+UA), classification beyond binary fraud/clean, cross-device tracking, and signals that survive proxy rotation.

Multi-platform enforcement

Most modern advertisers run paid spend across Google Ads and Meta. A tool that only enforces on Google Ads protects half your budget. AdProtektor pushes exclusions to both — IP exclusions to Google, Custom Audience exclusions to Meta — from one install.

Why AdProtektor

Where AdProtektor is built differently

Published pricing, no sales call needed

Standard $84/month, Pro $120/month, Enterprise from $316/month. Sign up, install, see fraud data on your own traffic — no procurement cycle. If you grow into Enterprise, the same product just scales; you don't switch tools.

Real 3-day free trial

Full Pro feature set for 3 days. See exactly how much fraud AdProtektor catches on your actual traffic before paying. Most accounts find that 10–20% of their clicks are bot, click-farm, or repeat-offender traffic — the trial answers "is this worth paying for?" with your own data, not a demo.

Person-based AI across IPs and devices

150+ device and behavioral signals build a profile of the visitor, not the connection. The same person gets caught even after switching to a fresh residential IP, a new device, or a different browser — the signature that matters is the behavior, not the network.

5-minute install

One line of JS (or the WordPress plugin), OAuth connect to Google Ads and Meta, done. Protection is live and the first numbers come back within hours.

Scales without contract gymnastics

Enterprise pricing starts at $316/month and scales linearly per domain. 10 domains? Easy. 100 domains? Same product, same pricing logic — no custom MSA, no "contact us" pricing.

Clean conversion data with ConversionOS

ConversionOS (optional add-on) reports only your real customers' conversions to Meta, Google, and GA4 — fraudulent conversions are withheld, so your optimization and audiences learn from true data. Includes per-person commerce and event reporting.

Where it runs

AdProtektor protects Google Ads (via tracking-template diversion + auto-syncing IP exclusions) and Meta — Facebook and Instagram — via Custom Audience exclusions and the Conversions API. One install on your site covers both channels. Multi-domain accounts manage everything from a single dashboard, with per-domain protection rules and a unified fraud-rate view across the whole portfolio.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Lunio worth it for small and mid-sized advertisers?

Lunio's positioning has shifted toward enterprise and agency customers — the kind of accounts that can absorb a long sales cycle, annual contracts, and a per-seat or per-spend pricing model. That's the right fit for some businesses. But if you're a mid-market e-commerce store, lead-gen site, or in-house performance team that wants to install a click-fraud tool today and see results this week, the enterprise sales-led model is friction without an upside. AdProtektor is built for self-serve: install in 5 minutes, no contract, 3-day free trial, see results the same day.

How is AdProtektor different from Lunio?

Two things matter: (1) Self-serve vs. sales-led. AdProtektor publishes prices on the site, runs a real free trial, and lets you cancel anytime — Lunio's flow is sales-driven. (2) Person-based detection plus ConversionOS. AdProtektor profiles the visitor across IPs, devices, and browsers, and (optionally) reports only real-customer conversions to the ad platforms so optimization stays clean. Both are detection-quality features, not pricing tricks.

Does AdProtektor scale to multi-domain accounts?

Yes. Pro covers up to 5 domains and 40,000 clicks/month. Enterprise scales to 100+ domains with volume pricing, dedicated benchmark analysis, and 24/7 support. You don't need a custom contract to get a multi-domain setup — Enterprise pricing starts at $316/month and scales linearly with domain count.

What about reporting depth?

Every plan includes the full click classification breakdown (Real / Crawler / Bot / Suspicious Repeat Visitor / Click Farm), per-campaign fraud rates, exclusion-list activity logs, and session recordings for every flagged visit on every plan. Enterprise adds benchmark analysis against the AdProtektor customer base. If you need raw event data, the dashboard exports CSV and the tracking script writes to your own GA4 / BigQuery if you wire it up.

How quickly can I be running?

About 5 minutes. Paste one line of JS on your site (or install the WordPress plugin), connect Google Ads and Meta via OAuth, and protection is live. First blocked clicks appear within hours. The free trial is the full Pro feature set for 3 days — no credit card capture-then-bury pattern, no enterprise sales call required.
