Lunio (formerly PPC Protect, rebranded in 2022) is a broad invalid-traffic platform covering Google, Bing, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Reddit, Snapchat, Pinterest and more. It's sold through a custom, quote-based pricing model rather than published self-serve plans. If that buying process is the friction point in your evaluation, not the detection itself, Didva is worth a direct look.

The problem

Most invalid-traffic tools converge on similar detection promises. The real differentiator for a lot of teams is how you buy it: a fixed, published price you can see today versus a custom quote tied to your ad spend, and how many of those 15+ channels you actually need covered versus how many you're paying to have available.

Arrived here looking for PPC Protect?

Lunio is PPC Protect Limited renamed in 2022. The history, and how to read reviews split across both names, is on the PPC Protect page.

Published pricing vs. a percentage of your ad spend

Per Lunio's own pricing page, cost is not published. The page is titled "Pricing β€” contact us for your customized plan", and its FAQ states that pricing "is based on a small fraction of your ad spend", quoted per account and taking channel coverage into account. That scales with your budget rather than a fixed feature tier, and you won't see a number until you talk to sales.

Didva publishes its plans directly: Starter at $39/month for real-time Google and Bing blocking plus Meta protection, and a Watchtower plan that's free forever (3,000 clicks/month, no card, no expiry). You can compare the actual cost before committing to anything.

A 14-day audit vs. an ongoing free plan

Lunio's own evaluation path is a 14-day complimentary traffic audit, full analytics access for two weeks, after which you'd move to a custom-quoted plan.

Didva's free tier doesn't expire. That matters if you want to run a longer baseline, or if your account is genuinely small enough that 3,000 free clicks/month covers you indefinitely without ever needing to pay.

Where 15+ channels is the right answer

This isn't a one-sided comparison. If a meaningful share of your invalid-traffic exposure sits on TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit, X or another channel outside Google/Bing/Meta, Lunio's broader coverage is the more complete tool today. Didva covers Google Ads, Bing and Meta live. Check where your spend actually is before switching anything.

What a switch actually looks like

Nothing about this comparison requires an immediate migration. The lowest-risk sequence is to take Lunio's 14-day audit if you're already in that conversation, and start Didva's free Watchtower tier in parallel β€” it has no expiry, so it keeps collecting a baseline long after the audit window closes.

After a full billing cycle you'll have the two numbers that actually decide this: what each tool flagged on the same traffic, and what each would cost you at your real spend level β€” a fixed $39/month versus a quoted percentage of your budget.
