Awesome Traffic Bot vs CTRBooster

Yes. Both are Windows applications that run real browser sessions against search results, and both cover Google Search, Maps and Bing. The structural difference is that ATB includes its own residential IP network in the $49 monthly licence, while CTRBooster requires you to supply proxies yourself.

Users on SEO forums report that it now hits a Google captcha on essentially every search attempt, that mobile user agents do not work, and that support responds by saying it works on their side. Nothing is included to solve a captcha, so those sessions simply fail. Its Windows 7 and .NET 4.8 requirement, and a single Trustpilot review from February 2023 on an unclaimed profile, both point the same way. Check current user reports before buying a one time licence.

Yes. Every licence includes 1,000 Captcha Solver credits a month, and the trial includes 500. A challenge is answered mid session rather than ending the run, which is the single most important difference when search engines tighten their checks.

The software is cheaper. The setup usually is not. CTRBooster is $197 once plus $15 a month, but their own site states that proxies which work with Google will be needed, and those commonly start around $50 a month. ATB is $49 a month with 2GB of residential bandwidth included, so the all in figure tends to be lower.

Their FAQ says access to proxies that work with Google will be needed, and they sell a proxy service of their own separately. Running search automation from a single residential IP is not viable at any volume, so budget for it.

Neither. CTRBooster needs Windows 7 or newer with .NET 4.8. ATB is a Windows application too, though it runs happily on a Windows VPS if your own machine is a Mac.

ATB activates on 2 devices per licence. CTRBooster allows up to 3 on the Enterprise licence, so they are ahead on that specific point.

You top up Dalga IPs from inside your account. The 2GB monthly allowance covers a typical single site campaign, and heavier or multi client work is the usual reason to add more.

Every competitor figure on this page was read directly off the vendor’s own public pages on the date shown, then recorded in a single data file so the same numbers appear on every comparison we publish. Where a vendor does not publish something, we write that it is not published rather than estimating it. We do not paraphrase a rival’s feature list into something less flattering, and we quote their own wording when a claim matters. Anything that is a market rate rather than a vendor quote is labelled as such in the table itself. If a price has moved since this page was written, the sources at the foot are the authority, not us.

Sometimes, and not on their own. Engagement signals are one input among many, and they work best on pages that already rank somewhere on the first two results pages for the term in question. Sending signals to a page that ranks fortieth is usually wasted effort, because the page is not in the consideration set that engagement data can influence. The honest framing is that this is a nudge applied to existing relevance, not a substitute for it. Anyone promising guaranteed positions from clicks alone, ourselves included, would be overselling it.

It divides almost entirely on whether you already own proxies. If you do not, switch: sourcing residential IPs that work against Google is the hard part of running CTR software, and it is the part CTRBooster leaves to you. Switch too if your proxy bill keeps surprising you, or if you need Yandex, Naver or Baidu, which CTRBooster does not reach. Stay if you already run a proxy stack and a Windows VPS for other work, because their marginal cost is about $15 a month and we cannot beat that. Stay as well if you refuse subscriptions, since owning the software outright is a legitimate preference.
