Most traffic filters were built years ago around a single proxy check and a handful of rules. BotKavach was built around one question: did a real person click this ad? Here's what that difference looks like, capability by capability.
40 intelligence layers, AI Rule Compiler, self-hosted CAPTCHA, embed mode, compliance page generator, self-hosted lookup tools, crypto payments, live world map dashboard, all on every plan.
Most traffic filters were built around a single proxy check and a few rules. BotKavach was built around one question: did a real person click this ad?

Capabilities verified against BotKavach's shipping codebase on August 8, 2026.
These capabilities are live in BotKavach today and not found in the old way of filtering traffic. They're the reason BotKavach is built differently, 15 exclusives including AI agent detection, LeadShield, and federated peer intelligence.
Type plain English like "Block Russia and China on weekends except mobile Android" and the AI writes the entire filter JSON for you. Cached, validated, ~350 tokens per call. No other traffic filter offers a plain-English rule interface.
BotKavach onlyA proof-of-work CAPTCHA with behavioral signals and honeypots. Three difficulty levels. No reCAPTCHA keys, no Cloudflare dependency, no per-call billing. Your visitor data never leaves your platform.
BotKavach onlyPaste one snippet in your <head> and BotKavach filters any page on any domain you own. Cross-origin nonce protection, CORS whitelist, JSON-only responses. You keep full control of your domain, no need to route through a third-party domain.
BotKavach onlyDNS, reverse IP, SSL certificate and HTTP header inspection built into your dashboard. No external API, no extra cost. Vet traffic sources and debug campaigns in seconds.
BotKavach onlyPay your subscription in crypto directly from the dashboard. No card or payment processor required.
BotKavach onlyA multi-provider AI chat (Gemini, Groq, Hugging Face with fallback) that knows your account context. Available to anonymous visitors and authenticated users.
BotKavach onlyBotKavach watches daily click volume per campaign and auto-pauses if traffic collapses, protecting your ad spend from a broken lander or dead proxy before it drains your budget.

BotKavach onlyBotKavach identifies synthetic visitors, AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity browsing on behalf of users, plus headless agents and automated research tools. Defaults to log-only, configurable to block.
BotKavach onlyClick farms rotate campaigns to dodge per-campaign rate limits. BotKavach tracks IPs across all your campaigns at once, switching links doesn't reset their quota.
BotKavach onlyTrusted BotKavach installs share threat data with each other, HMAC-SHA256 hashed by default, raw IPs only with explicit per-peer consent. Your blocklist learns from peers the same way it learns from your own traffic. No central authority, no third-party data broker.
BotKavach onlyStatistical FP estimation (cohort conversion rate analysis), a manual review queue, and a conversion-postback feedback loop. You see your real false-positive rate, not a vendor's marketing claim.
BotKavach onlyVets form submissions before they hit your CRM. Watches keystroke timing, mouse movement, time-to-fill, honeypot fields, and disposable email domains. Three actions (allow / flag / block), three sensitivity presets, fail-open by design. No PII stored, only a SHA-256 hash.
BotKavach onlyEvery filtering layer, AI agent detection, form fraud protection, federated peer intelligence, a false-positive dashboard, an AI rule compiler, a self-hosted CAPTCHA, embed mode, compliance page generator, live world map, and crypto payments, all in one platform.
