You can pay monthly or save with annual billing (billed once, upfront, at a lower effective monthly rate). Your plan includes a set volume of protected visits; if you go over, <strong>cascading overage pricing<\/strong> means the more you use, the less you pay per visit \u2014 and your account is <strong>never throttled or switched off<\/strong>. You can also choose to protect only your paid traffic, so visits from non-paid channels don&#8217;t count toward your usage. And there&#8217;s <strong>no long-term lock-in<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- TL;DR --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f9fafb; border-left: 4px solid #0d1b2a; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; padding: 18px 22px; margin-bottom: 28px;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: .1em; color: #6b7280; margin: 0 0 10px;\">TL;DR<\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 18px; margin: 0;\">\n<li style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #374151; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 1.6;\">Pay <strong>monthly<\/strong>, or choose <strong>annual<\/strong> billing for a lower effective monthly rate (billed once, upfront).<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #374151; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 1.6;\">Plans are usage-based. Go over your included volume and <strong>cascading overage pricing<\/strong> kicks in \u2014 the per-visit rate <em>drops<\/em> as your volume grows.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #374151; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 1.6;\">Your account is <strong>never throttled<\/strong> and protection <strong>never stops<\/strong>, even mid-overage.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #374151; margin-bottom: 6px; line-height: 1.6;\">Optional: <strong>exclude non-paid traffic<\/strong> from detection so those visits don&#8217;t count toward usage \u2014 pay only for what you choose to protect.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #374151; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\">No long-term contract lock-in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Click fraud protection should save you money, not create billing surprises. This is the plain-English guide to exactly how ClickCease charges \u2014 what your plan includes, what happens when you exceed it, how to keep costs tied to the traffic you actually care about, and what commitment (if any) you&#8217;re making. No fine print, no surprises.<\/p>\n<h2>Monthly vs annual billing \u2014 and the annual discount<\/h2>\n<p>ClickCease offers two ways to pay, and the choice is purely about cash flow versus savings:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; color: #374151; margin: 0 0 20px; padding-left: 22px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"><strong>Monthly billing<\/strong> \u2014 pay as you go, month to month. The most flexible option if you want to keep commitment minimal.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><strong>Annual billing<\/strong> \u2014 one upfront payment for the year at a lower effective monthly rate (15% less). If you know you&#8217;ll be protecting campaigns long-term, it&#8217;s the cheaper route.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Annual billing is a single lump-sum payment, not a financing arrangement or a multi-year commitment \u2014 it&#8217;s simply a discount for paying up front. Either way, you&#8217;re choosing the billing cadence that suits you, not being pushed into one.<\/p>\n<h2>How usage and cascading overage pricing work<\/h2>\n<p>Every ClickCease plan includes a set volume of protected visits. As long as you&#8217;re within that volume, you pay your plan price \u2014 simple. The question most tools handle badly is: <em>what happens when you go over?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With many tools, exceeding your limit means one of two bad outcomes \u2014 protection simply <strong>stops<\/strong> for the rest of the cycle, or you&#8217;re hit with steep, punitive overage charges. ClickCease does neither. Instead, it uses <strong>cascading overage pricing<\/strong>: when you exceed your included volume, protection continues, and the rate you pay per additional visit <em>decreases progressively<\/em> as your volume increases.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #e6f7f1; border-left: 4px solid #00b67a; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #1a1f36;\"><strong>The more you use, the less you pay per visit.<\/strong> Cascading pricing means a business with a seasonal spike or fast growth isn&#8217;t punished for scaling \u2014 the extra protection simply gets more cost-efficient the more of it you need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The practical result: your protection scales smoothly with your traffic, and a busy month never triggers a nasty surprise or a coverage gap.<\/p>\n<h2>You&#8217;re never throttled or cut off<\/h2>\n<p>This one is worth stating plainly because it&#8217;s where competitors&#8217; billing reputations often fall down: <strong>ClickCease never throttles your account.<\/strong> When you&#8217;re in overage, protection keeps running at full speed \u2014 no slowdowns, no degraded detection, no &#8220;you&#8217;ve hit your limit, protection paused&#8221; message. Your campaigns stay protected without interruption, which matters most during exactly the high-traffic moments when fraud tends to spike.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a deliberate contrast with tools whose protection ends the moment you cross a threshold. (For a concrete example of that failure mode, see how this plays out in our <a style=\"color: #1a3a5c; font-weight: 600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clickcease.com\/blog\/clickcease-vs-fraud-blocker-2026\/\">ClickCease vs Fraud Blocker comparison<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<h2>Only pay to protect the traffic that matters to you<\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a newer piece of cost control that puts you in charge of your usage. By default, protection can apply across your site&#8217;s visits \u2014 but not every business wants to spend their plan volume scanning traffic that never came from a paid campaign.<\/p>\n<p>So ClickCease now lets you <strong>opt out of detection for non-paid marketing traffic<\/strong>. If you turn this on, visits from non-paid channels (organic search, direct, and other unpaid sources) are excluded from detection \u2014 and, importantly, <strong>those visits don&#8217;t count toward your plan usage<\/strong>. You focus your protection (and your spend) on the paid campaigns where click fraud actually costs you money.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 4px solid #1a3a5c; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #1a1f36;\">This is a simple, powerful way to control costs: you decide what&#8217;s worth protecting, and you&#8217;re only charged for the traffic you choose to include. It&#8217;s especially useful for sites with heavy organic traffic that don&#8217;t want unpaid visits eating into their plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>One thing worth weighing before you switch it on: non-paid channels aren&#8217;t automatically clean. In some industries a surprisingly large share of organic and direct traffic is invalid too \u2014 and excluding it from detection means that activity still slips into your analytics and, if you run lead-gen forms, into your sales pipeline. The opt-out is a genuine cost lever, but it&#8217;s a trade-off between spend and data quality: if clean analytics and an uncontaminated lead pipeline matter as much as protected ad spend, you may prefer to keep detection running across all traffic.<\/p>\n<h2>No lock-in: your commitment and cancellation<\/h2>\n<p>ClickCease doesn&#8217;t tie you into long-term contracts. Monthly plans are exactly that \u2014 month to month \u2014 and annual plans are a single year paid up front at a discount, not a rolling multi-year commitment. You&#8217;re choosing ClickCease because it&#8217;s working for you, not because a contract won&#8217;t let you leave.<\/p>\n<p>You can <strong>cancel any time before your renewal date.<\/strong> When you cancel, your plan simply ends on that renewal day and you are not charged again \u2014 there is no cancellation fee and nothing rolls over. It works the same way for both monthly and annual plans: cancel before the renewal, and the next cycle never happens.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Promo --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #e6f7f1; border-left: 4px solid #00b67a; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 28px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #1a1f36;\">New to ClickCease?

You can opt out of detection for non-paid marketing traffic.
