Blankitt Edge vs CHEQ
CHEQ is the category leader in go-to-market security, and its platform runs on a JavaScript tag. On Salesforce B2C Commerce, that one fact decides most of the comparison: what deploys, what it can see, and what it costs. Here is the fair version of the choice.

At a glance
The differences that tend to decide it, including the rows where CHEQ wins.
| What matters | Blankitt Edge | CHEQ |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Point eCDN Logpush at an ingest URL via the CDN Zones API. No storefront code changes, live in a day | JavaScript tracking code installed “on all your landing pages just after the opening body tag” (their help centre, July 2026) |
| What it sees | Every request the eCDN logs: browsers, API clients, scrapers, vulnerability probes, fake crawlers | Clients that execute the tag: “2K+ real-time cybersecurity challenges on each visit” run in the browser (cheq.ai, July 2026) |
| Salesforce B2C Commerce fit | Purpose-built for SFCC: controller-aware detectors (checkout, login, cart), aligned to the eCDN's Logpush field catalogue | Install guides cover WordPress, Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce and Google Tag Manager. No Salesforce Commerce Cloud guide published (July 2026) |
| Self-serve pricing | £99–£499/month, published, 30-day free trial | Essentials (ClickCease): $63–$124/month across three tiers (July 2026) |
| What moves your bill | Nothing. Unlimited traffic on every plan; tiers differ by sources, retention and alerting. A record trading day costs the same | Traffic. Capped at 5,000–80,000 “protected visits”/month, defined as “any user activity on your website… including internal page views” (their pricing page, July 2026) |
| Mid-market storefront economics | A storefront doing millions of requests a day pays the same flat plan price | 80,000 visits/month is the largest self-serve cap. A mid-market storefront exceeds it in days, which moves you to sales-led enterprise pricing |
| Enterprise pricing | £499/month is the top tier, published on the pricing page | Quote-only. No published pricing for the enterprise platform (July 2026) |
| Page performance | Zero client-side code, zero page weight | An in-browser challenge suite runs on each visit (their description, July 2026) |
| Blocking model | Guided response in your own eCDN WAF: every alert carries the exact challenge-first rule, one-click apply with rollback, plus an opt-in standing mandate that keeps a challenge current for your invalid-click fleet. Never inline, and nothing happens to your storefront that you didn't decide | Inline/tag-based mitigation with a marketed 0.009% false-positive rate (cheq.ai, July 2026) |
| Retail abuse coverage | Distributed credential stuffing, scalping velocity, card-testing patterns, catalogue scraping, search abuse, probes, slow-burn escalation | Click-fraud and invalid-traffic protection for ad platforms, form protection, funnel analytics; on-site bot mitigation in enterprise tiers |
| Marketing and ad-spend visibility | Every acquisition channel and campaign scored server-side from the eCDN logs: invalid rates, spend at risk at your cost estimates, click-ID evidence CSVs for ad-platform credit claims, and a paste-ready Google Ads IP exclusion list | Funnel-wide IVT analytics and automated in-platform IP exclusions across Google, Meta and Microsoft (their home turf) |
| On-premise option | Yes: Rust container; raw logs never leave your network | SaaS only |
| Track record | Early access: founding-customer offer, building in public with a dated changelog | Category leader in go-to-market security; their site reports “6T signals processed daily” (July 2026) |
Where CHEQ is a great choice
We're not going to pretend otherwise: CHEQ built the go-to-market security category, and there are cases where it's simply the right answer.
- You want exclusions applied inside Google, Meta or Microsoft automatically today: API-integrated in-platform exclusion is ClickCease's home turf. Edge builds the same exclusion list and the click-ID evidence from your server logs, but applying it inside the ad platform is currently your paste.
- You want funnel-wide invalid-traffic analytics: keeping bots out of GA4, A/B tests and CRM data is what CHEQ Analytics is for.
- Your estate is WordPress, Shopify, Wix or BigCommerce, where their tag installs in minutes with a published guide.
- You need inline, real-time blocking with an identity layer behind it, at enterprise scale.
- Form spam and fake-lead pollution matter to your sales team (Form Guard).
- AI-agent classification with a behavioural layer (Agent Intent) is on your 2026 agenda.
If that list describes you, especially the first line, pick CHEQ with confidence. The cards below are where the Salesforce B2C Commerce case genuinely diverges.
Where Edge fits
Edge leans into everything a browser tag structurally can't do on an SFCC storefront.
On SFCC, deployment is the whole decision
A tag-based tool needs its JavaScript on every storefront page: change control, performance budget, consent review, and an SI ticket. Edge needs a Logpush job pointed at an ingest URL, configured through the CDN Zones API Salesforce provides for exactly this. One is a project; the other is an afternoon.
The traffic that hurts you never runs JavaScript
API scrapers, raw-HTML harvesters, vulnerability probes and fake Googlebots don't execute tags. By construction, a browser-challenge model cannot see them. The eCDN logs record every one of those requests. Edge reads the logs.
Retail crime, not just ad hygiene
CHEQ's centre of gravity is protecting ad spend and funnel data. Edge's detectors are built around what drains a retailer directly: credential stuffing spread across 20+ networks, scalpers whose add-to-cart traffic is clean 2xx, card testing on checkout controllers, and catalogue harvesting that quietly hits your origin bill.
Pricing that doesn't meter your success
Their own pricing definition counts “any user activity on your website… including internal page views” toward the visit cap, organic included. Edge doesn't meter traffic at all: plans differ by sources, retention and alerting, so a good trading day never moves your bill.
Never between your customer and checkout
Inline blocking trades protection against the risk of challenging a real shopper. Edge sits outside the request path: it detects, correlates, and hands you the exact eCDN rule to stop it, challenge-first, with you approving every change, and one-click apply with rollback on Growth and Enterprise. When you want the upkeep without the clicks, grant a standing mandate: Edge keeps a managed challenge current for your invalid-click fleet, starting in a trial mode that shows you a preview first. Challenge only, never a block, revocable at any time.
Your marketing numbers, without the tag
Every landing on your storefront is scored by channel and campaign, server-side, using the eCDN's own bot verdicts. You see which paid channels and campaign codes automation is riding, what that costs at your rates, and which pages it walks in through. When you want your money back, export the click-ID evidence ad platforms accept for invalid-traffic credits and the ready-to-paste Google Ads IP exclusion list. No tag required: it reads the logs you already have.
Evidence, not just verdicts
Every alert is backed by raw NDJSON forensics you can query by network, path, status and user-agent, and incidents only escalate when two or more independent detector kinds agree. When you take action, or take a finding to Salesforce support, you carry proof rather than a black-box score.
Fair questions
Is CHEQ a good product?
Yes. CHEQ is the category leader in go-to-market security. If your problem is click fraud on Google, Meta or Microsoft ads, polluted funnel analytics, or form spam on a platform where their tag deploys freely (WordPress, Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce), it's a strong choice with real scale behind it. This page is about the Salesforce B2C Commerce storefront-abuse case, where the trade-offs look different.
Can CHEQ run on Salesforce Commerce Cloud?
As of July 2026, their public install guides cover WordPress, Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce and Google Tag Manager. No Salesforce Commerce Cloud guide is published. Deploying any tag-based tool on SFCC means adding its JavaScript to your storefront under SI change control, and the tag only ever sees clients that execute JavaScript. Ask CHEQ directly, and ask specifically how they detect API scrapers, probes and fake crawlers that never run the tag.
Does Edge block attacks the way CHEQ does?
Differently, and on purpose. Enforcement lives in the eCDN's own WAF, which you control, so a false positive can never sit between a customer and checkout. Every alert carries the exact challenge-first rule, and on Growth and Enterprise it applies in one click with rollback. You can also grant a standing mandate: Edge keeps a managed challenge current for the IP addresses behind your invalid ad clicks, starting in a trial mode that shows you a preview before anything is applied. Challenge only, revocable at any time, and an outright block always remains a decision a person takes per incident. If you need inline blocking inside the request path on a non-SFCC estate, a tag-based tool is the right category.
What does CHEQ cost?
Verified 9 July 2026: CHEQ Essentials (ClickCease) is self-serve at $63–$124/month across Starter, Pro and Advanced tiers, capped at 5,000, 40,000 and 80,000 protected visits per month respectively. Their definition of protected traffic includes internal page views and organic visits. Enterprise products are quote-only with no published pricing. Blankitt Edge is £99–£499/month, published, with no traffic metering.
Can Edge tell me how much ad spend bots are wasting?
Yes. The Channels page scores every landing by acquisition channel and campaign code using the CDN's own bot verdicts, shows invalid rates and spend at risk at your cost estimates, and breaks it down by landing page, country, time of day and detection method. For paid channels you can export the click-ID evidence ad platforms accept for invalid-traffic credit claims, and a paste-ready Google Ads IP exclusion list capped at their 500-entry campaign limit. It reads your existing logs, with no tag on any page, so it counts the automation your tag-based analytics never sees.
Could we run CHEQ and Edge together?
Yes, and it is an instructive pairing. The overlap is bigger than it used to be: Edge now scores every acquisition channel and campaign server-side and produces the exclusion lists and credit-claim evidence for the ad platforms. What ClickCease still does that Edge does not is apply those exclusions inside Google, Meta and Microsoft automatically. If you do run both, compare their counts for the same day: the gap between what a tag can see and what your CDN logs record is itself the most useful number on either dashboard.
Your logs settle it faster than this page can.
Point a Logpush job at Edge and see what's actually hitting your storefront: every request, not just the ones that run JavaScript. Thirty days free, no tag, no sales call.
