AntiAdBlock Core vs AdRecover
AntiAdBlock Core vs AdRecover
Documented 11-vector detection vs a mid-market recovery tool.
AdRecover positions itself as a mid-market alternative to Admiral, emphasising A/B testing of recovery messages and access to premium demand for ad-block users. It is a competent recovery layer for publishers who want something lighter than a full VRM.
Where it is thin is technical differentiation: AdRecover does not publish detail on detection vectors or Manifest V3 / uBlock Origin Lite coverage. AntiAdBlock Core matches the A/B-testable recovery overlay and adds a documented, MV3-aware detection engine.
| Feature | AdRecover | AntiAdBlock Core |
|---|---|---|
| Transparent public pricing | Mixed, not consistently public | Public: every tier listed ($0–$29.99/mo) |
| Free plan | No standing free tier | Yes, 10k requests/mo, full detection engine |
| Detection vectors | Not disclosed | 11 independent vectors, voted in real time |
| uBlock Origin Lite (Chrome MV3) | No public MV3 / uBOL claim | Detected: Basic, Optimal & Complete |
| Time to first detection | Standard publisher integration | ~60 seconds, one async script tag |
| Domain-locked + signed script | Not advertised | Yes, origin-pinned, HMAC-signed |
| Real-time analytics | Recovery + A/B test reporting | Per-detector breakdown + revenue model |
| GDPR: cookieless | Not detailed publicly | Cookieless: zero PII, daily aggregates |
