Illustrative — the transparent 0–100 score per source that this comparison is really about.

What to compare

Detection depth

Does it weigh 100+ independent signals across the network, the device, and visitor behavior — or lean on a single check?

Transparency

A clear 0–100 quality score per click you can audit and defend, vs a black-box “blocked” flag.

Extra hop vs no hop

Whether the tool adds an extra hop in the click path that can slow or break your funnel.

Network coverage

Beyond Google/Meta — native, push, pop and search where invalid traffic concentrates.

Automated blocking

Does it push IP exclusions into the ad platform automatically?

Privacy

Whether raw IPs are stored, and what controls you get.

The tools
