How Traffic Is Counted & How to Choose Your Plan

ClickCease monitors all traffic that arrives at your website. We leverage extensive behavioural and technical signals to identify, block, and eliminate fraud. Because all traffic is evaluated to power accurate protection, you should choose your plan based on your total forecasted monthly or annual average total traffic — not only the subset of traffic you want to protect.

Recommendation: Review the last 3–6 months of traffic, calculate a reasonable monthly average, and select the tier whose included traffic comfortably covers that figure. Occasional spikes are handled fairly by our overages model.

Also check your average monthly form submissions against the Lead Shield allowance for that tier, since submissions are counted separately.

What is being counted towards your usage?

In ClickCease, Traffic count includes any user activity on your website that CHEQ detects or blocks, including internal page views and ad-driven visits/clicks, etc. This includes direct, organic, and paid sources.

Form submissions are counted toward the Lead Shield section, which includes all submissions on your protected forms.

Currencies We Accept

We support pricing and billing in USD, EUR, GBP, and AUD. Select your preferred currency at checkout — your plan price, add-ons, and any overages will be displayed and billed in that currency.

Plan Options (Monthly or Annual)

You can subscribe monthly (no annual commitment) or annually. Prices below show all supported currencies.

Cascading Overages

Traffic can spike. With cascading overages, you only pay for the extra traffic actually used, billed at a lower price step-by-step as you cross each threshold. There is no forced plan jump for a one-off spike. The more traffic, the less the cost.

Why this is better:

  • You pay for usage, not an entire higher plan.

  • Each step has a known per- total traffic price, and each subsequent step has a lower cost per total traffic.

  • The math is transparent and easy to reproduce.

Quick example (how cascading overages add up)

Please note that the following example demonstrates total traffic and not leads submissions overages model.

Example:

You’re on a plan that includes 5,000 total traffic per month, and you used 12,500. Amount of exceeded traffic = 7,500.

Overage is calculated tier by tier. You’re charged only for the extra traffic in each tier at that tier’s per-total traffic overage rate.

Step 1 — Tier1

  • 5,000 extra traffic × $0.017000 = $85

Step 2 — Tier2 portion of the next tier

  • 2,500 extra traffic × $0.014286 = $35.715

Total overage (USD): $120.715

Lead Shield submissions overage the same way: only the extra submissions are billed, tier by tier, using the Lead Shield rates in the table below.

Important Notice: In cases where your account consistently exceeds the chosen plan on traffic or on Lead Shield submissions, consider upgrading your account yourself to the correct plan as it's more cost-effective.

In order to minimize your cost, in cases where your account consistently exceeds the chosen plan, your account can also be upgraded to the correct plan automatically. An email will be sent prior to let you know.

The same step-by-step logic applies in EUR/GBP/AUD. Use the per-traffic rate for your selected currency from the table above.

How Overages Are Detected & Billed

  • We monitor usage against your plan's included total traffic and included Lead Shield submissions per month or per year. Traffic and submissions are metered independently and can go into overage separately.
    If excess use is detected, you’ll receive an in-app notification at certain thresholds.

  • Overage Charges are calculated and billed at the end of your billing cycle (monthly or annual).

  • If your usage remains higher over time, we may recommend (or apply) a plan change so pricing better matches your ongoing traffic.

Billing & Renewals

  • Monthly or annual: choose at signup. Changes you make generally apply to the next billing cycle.

  • Payment methods: major credit cards (via Stripe).

  • Auto-renewal: subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in-app during the current cycle.

  • Refunds: payments are non-refundable, including mid-term cancellations.


Frequently Asked Questions

Which currencies can I pay in?

USD, EUR, GBP, or AUD. Choose your currency at checkout.

How should I pick a plan?

Choose based on your forecasted monthly average traffic (ClickCease monitors all traffic to provide accurate protection). If you regularly exceed the included total traffic, consider upgrading to the next tier.

Do overages mean I’m stuck on a higher plan?

No. Overages are pay-as-you-go for the extra traffic only. If you consistently go over, upgrading a tier often lowers your total cost.

What happens if I consistently exceed my plan?

In order to minimize your cost, in cases where your account consistently exceeds the chosen plan, your account will be upgraded to the correct plan. An email will be sent prior to let you know.

Can I switch between monthly and annual later?

Yes. Changes typically start from the next billing cycle.

How do add-on domains bill?

Add-ons are co-termed with your subscription and follow the same renewal date.
