Didva

Didva is a click-fraud monitoring and blocking service for advertisers using Google, Meta or Microsoft campaigns. It best suits teams that want click-level evidence alongside options to act on suspicious traffic. Its free tier is useful for manual monitoring, but automatic enforcement requires a paid plan.

Overview

Didva analyzes more than 50 signals per click, including IP reputation, device fingerprint, click velocity and behavior. It can route high-confidence threats to exclusion lists and hold other traffic for manual review. That distinction is valuable when a team wants to scrutinize uncertain cases rather than block every anomaly, though held traffic still calls for human attention.

Click-level reports show an IP address, device fingerprint, click origin and the reason for a flag. Evidence export for Google refund claims gives the reports a practical use beyond monitoring. Didva also acknowledges that detection is imperfect, so its flags are not a guarantee that every fraudulent click will be caught.

Key features

• Blocking controls: Automatic Google Ads IP-exclusion syncing, custom blocking rules and an allowlist provide ways to enforce decisions and account for exceptions. The free plan stops short of automatic enforcement.
• Platform connections: Didva lists Google Ads, Meta Ads, Microsoft Advertising (Bing) and a REST API for custom integrations. One-click OAuth setup, without DNS changes or a developer, should suit teams looking to connect accounts without technical implementation work.
• Reporting and review: Click-level detail and evidence export help advertisers examine why traffic was flagged and support Google refund claims. Manual review offers control, but makes the product less hands-off for cases that are not high-confidence.

Pricing

Watchtower is a sensible starting point for advertisers who can review and block IPs manually and fit within its click and site caps. Its exclusions matter: it does not provide automatic enforcement or Meta Ads protection, and its data retention is seven days. Starter is aimed at small businesses with one or two campaigns; its 20,000-click cap and multi-platform protection are a step up, but it excludes API access. Growth is intended for businesses with multiple campaigns and raises the cap to 100,000 clicks without adding API access. Agencies and large advertisers get white-label and multi-client support on Agency, but higher volumes move to custom pricing and API access is not yet presented as available.

Didva says protection continues after a plan’s monthly click limit and asks customers to upgrade rather than silently billing overages. Starter includes email alerts and support; Growth includes priority support. There is no free trial.

Platforms

Didva is available on web and through an API. Its ad-platform coverage includes Google Ads, Microsoft Bing Ads and Meta Ads, including Facebook and Instagram. Watchtower excludes Meta Ads protection, and Starter and Growth exclude API access.

Who it's for

Didva is a good fit for small businesses and multi-campaign advertisers who want to inspect suspicious clicks and choose between manual review and blocking. Agencies or large advertisers may find the multi-client Agency plan more appropriate. It is a weaker fit for teams that need API access on Starter or Growth, or expect detection to catch every fraudulent click.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Click-level reports explain why traffic was flagged and include evidence export for Google refund claims, which supports investigation as well as monitoring.
• Pro: High-confidence threats can be routed to exclusion lists while other traffic is held for review, giving advertisers a choice about uncertain cases.
• Pro: One-click OAuth setup without DNS changes or a developer reduces the technical burden of connecting ad accounts.
• Con: Watchtower lacks automatic enforcement and Meta Ads protection, so free users must accept manual blocking and narrower channel coverage.
• Con: API access is excluded from Starter and Growth, limiting those plans for customers who need custom integrations.
• Con: Detection is not perfect, so Didva cannot be relied on to identify every fraudulent click.

Verdict

Choose Didva if you want click-level reasons and evidence alongside both manual review and blocking options across major ad platforms. Its strongest case is the combination of review controls and practical reporting; look elsewhere if your Starter or Growth workflow depends on API access, or if you need a system that guarantees every fraudulent click will be caught.
