Opticks

Invalid-traffic signals feed channel analysis

Opticks says its system detects up to 30 types of invalid traffic, while its glossary describes detection of more than 30 types in real time. These are differing descriptions from the provider, not independent validation of the detection range.

The glossary names device fingerprinting as one of several signals used to distinguish real users from bots and emulators.

The page lists Opticks Sensor as used for advertising fraud prevention. The provider also says the platform helps advertisers identify and prevent invalid traffic.

Scan allowances divide four plan routes

The provider’s homepage lists these monthly prices and scan allowances, checked 2026-10-31.

• Lite: €50 per month plus taxes; up to 10k monthly scans and one user.
• Pro: €200 per month plus taxes; up to 100k monthly scans and five users.
• Max: €699 per month plus taxes; up to 300k monthly scans and 10 users.

The glossary says the 7-day trial requires no credit card and allows cancellation anytime. The blog describes a 7-day trial with full visibility and no credit card requirement.

A tag connects traffic to reports

The provider describes installation through Google Tag Manager or a JavaScript tag. A separate blog page says setup uses a lightweight JavaScript tag and requires no developer.

After setup, Opticks says its traffic-quality view breaks activity down by channel, UTM, device, and geography. The Max plan lists custom click-by-click reports and API integration. The vendor also says it automatically generates fraud evidence reports for refund or credit claims with ad networks. Its blog specifically describes refund-ready reports for Google Ads and Meta Ads.

Before relying on the workflow, clarify what the reports contain and how they are submitted.

Check setup, reporting, and data handling

Before relying on traffic analysis, ask the provider how the tag is installed and removed, and what site changes are required. Clarify what counts as a scan, how scans are counted, and what happens when an allowance is exceeded.

Ask which reporting fields and export formats are available, and how API access is documented and limited. For evidence reports, establish what material is included and what submission steps remain with the advertiser.

Request an explanation of how detection is validated and what data the service collects, retains, and shares. These questions help define the operational and privacy implications before the tool is connected to live traffic.

Published coverage spans detection and evidence

• Lite includes analytics, conversion analysis, custom alerts, and a watchlist alongside detection, according to the provider.
• Pro lists automated prevention for supported Google, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok channels, according to the provider.
• Max includes custom click-by-click reports and API integration, according to the provider.
• The provider describes a traffic-quality view organized by channel, UTM, device, and geography.
• Opticks says it automatically generates evidence reports for refund or credit claims with ad networks.

Prevention and reporting vary by plan

The provider places prevention and advanced reporting in specific plan tiers, while its legal notice also describes conditions that apply to service use.

• Lite is detection-only, so its stated feature set does not include prevention.
• Automated prevention is listed for supported Google, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok channels; the plan description does not extend that feature to every advertising channel.
• Max includes custom click-by-click reports and API integration.
• The provider says customers need to inform website users about Opticks technology.
• The legal notice allows temporary service suspension for technical, security, or maintenance reasons and says suspension creates no right to compensation or indemnification.

Advertisers need a defined scan workload

Opticks identifies advertisers as its intended audience and presents the service as a platform for analyzing and filtering invalid traffic across paid advertising channels. That framing makes the service relevant to advertisers assessing traffic quality within paid campaigns.

The practical fit depends on whether the selected plan’s stated controls and allowances match the intended workflow. Lite covers detection and analysis features, while prevention is listed under Pro for supported channels. Buyers who need to evaluate implementation or support material can also consult Opticks’ knowledge base; the provider lists email and chat support for Lite.

Compare screening by control and evidence

With no competitor details available for comparison, assess providers against the workflow rather than brand claims. In general, compare which detection signals are documented, whether prevention controls are included, and how scan usage is measured.

Also compare reporting access, integration work, data handling, and support terms. Ask each provider to explain how detection is validated and what evidence is available for review.

Questions on scans, tags, and reports

What does Lite include?

Lite includes detection, analytics, conversion analysis, custom alerts, and a watchlist, according to the provider’s homepage. Check that this scope matches the controls needed for the intended workflow.

Which plan lists prevention?

Pro lists detection and prevention, with automated prevention specified for supported Google, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok channels, according to the provider’s homepage. The channel qualification matters: the published description ties automated prevention to supported channels rather than stating that it applies across all advertising sources.

How does the vendor describe setup?

The provider says installation uses Google Tag Manager or a JavaScript tag. Its blog describes setup through a lightweight JavaScript tag and says a developer is not required. These are vendor descriptions; buyers should establish the implementation steps for their own site before deployment.

What dimensions appear in the traffic-quality view?

Opticks describes a unified traffic-quality view broken down by channel, UTM, device, and geography.

What does the evidence report claim to support?

The provider says it automatically generates fraud evidence reports for refund or credit claims with ad networks.

What support routes are stated?

The provider lists email and chat support for Lite. Opticks also provides a knowledge base for customer support. The stated routes identify where customers can seek help, while the plan-specific support conditions should be checked against the intended use.

Choose only after matching plan and workflow

Fits if the advertiser wants the documented detection workflow and selects a plan whose stated features match the intended use.

Probably not if prevention is required but Lite is under consideration, because Lite is detection-only.
