TrafficGuard is a broad invalid-traffic platform with genuine multi-channel coverage (Google Search, Meta, Performance Max, affiliate networks and mobile app install traffic) plus its own free tier. The two products aren't as far apart as some comparisons; the real difference is how pricing scales with your spend and how many channels you actually need covered.

The problem

TrafficGuard's Shield plan is published at $49/month, but per TrafficGuard's own pricing page, that rate only covers up to $30,000/month in Google Search ad spend on a single domain. Cross that threshold, add Meta or Performance Max, or manage multiple brands, and you move to Scale, a custom-quoted plan. If you want one price that doesn't change as your account grows, that's the gap worth checking.

Spend-capped pricing vs. one flat rate

TrafficGuard's $49/month Shield tier is scoped to a single domain and up to $30k/month in Google Search spend; go beyond that or need omnichannel coverage and you're quoted a custom Scale price.

Didva's Starter plan is $39/month, flat. The price doesn't change based on how much you spend or how many campaigns you run.

Two free tiers, different limits

TrafficGuard's free plan is real: detection-mode monitoring up to $2,500/month in Google Ads spend, one domain, one ad account, no card required. Its 30-day Shield trial is also free, but it does require a credit card up front (you're not charged until day 31).

Didva's Watchtower plan is free forever for up to 3,000 clicks/month, with no credit card required to start.

Where TrafficGuard's channel breadth is the right answer

TrafficGuard already protects Google Search, Meta, Performance Max, affiliate networks and mobile app install traffic today. Didva covers Google Ads, Bing and Meta live. If affiliate fraud or mobile user-acquisition fraud is a meaningful part of what you're protecting against, TrafficGuard's coverage is more complete right now. Worth checking before you switch anything.

Budgeting past the $30k cap

The Shield plan's economics change the moment your account grows. At $29k/month in Google Search spend you pay $49; cross $30k, add a second domain, or bring in Meta or Performance Max coverage, and you're negotiating a custom Scale quote with no published ceiling.

If your spend is trending toward that threshold, price the two paths now rather than later: a Scale quote at your projected spend versus a flat plan whose cost is the same at $5k/month and $50k/month. The free tiers make that comparison cheap to run β€” both start without a card.
