Anti-fraud
Opticks
Opticks targets advertisers seeking to detect and filter invalid traffic across paid channels, but its plan boundary is decisive: Lite detects, while Pro adds prevention in supported channels. The provider gives two different setup-time wordings, so the implementation estimate deserves a check before relying on it.
For media buyers comparing traffic analysis with campaign-level prevention, the practical question is whether the listed coverage and scan allowance match the intended workflow.

Lite Detects; Pro Adds Prevention
The provider’s pricing page and feature listings, checked 2026-10-31, give this plan snapshot.
- Lite: detection, analytics, conversion analysis, custom alerts, and a watchlist; €50 per month plus taxes, up to 10k monthly scans, one user.
- Pro: detection and prevention, with automated prevention in supported channels; €200 per month plus taxes, up to 100k monthly scans, five users.
- Max: custom click-by-click reports and API integration; €699 per month plus taxes, up to 300k monthly scans, 10 users.
The plan distinction is not only allowance: the listed prevention starts with Pro, while Lite is detection-only.
Invalid-Traffic Detection and Reports
Opticks describes its system as detecting invalid traffic and offers a traffic-quality view broken down by channel, UTM, device, and geography. The provider also says it automatically generates evidence reports for refund or credit claims with ad networks.
The stated detection-count wording differs across the provider’s pages: the homepage says “up to 30 types,” while the glossary says “more than 30 types” and adds “in real time.” These are vendor descriptions, not independent validation of detection performance.
The provider describes its focus as detecting sophisticated invalid traffic and says the platform helps advertisers identify and prevent it. Its blog also describes refund-ready reports for Google Ads and Meta Ads. Before relying on those reports, check what evidence and claim formats they contain.
Trial and Monthly Scan Allowances
The pricing page lists monthly plan prices alongside scan and user allowances; compare the allowance with the traffic volume the account needs to review.
- Lite: €50 per month plus taxes.
- Pro: €200 per month plus taxes.
- Max: €699 per month plus taxes.
The provider lists a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. Its glossary also says cancellation is available anytime, while its blog describes the trial as including “full visibility.” The blog separately repeats that the trial does not require a credit card.
Custom plans are described as offering custom monthly scans and “unlimited*” users. Ask the provider to specify the scan allowance and how it applies to the account before comparing a Custom offer with the listed tiers.
JavaScript Tag and Channel Prevention
Opticks describes installation through Google Tag Manager or a JavaScript tag, while its blog gives a separate setup-time estimate. The homepage says installation takes less than five minutes; the blog says setup takes under 5 minutes using a lightweight JavaScript tag and requires no developer.
For prevention, the provider lists automated controls in supported Google, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok channels. Device fingerprinting is described as one of several signals used to distinguish real users from bots and emulators. The site also lists Opticks Sensor and Opticksid for advertising fraud prevention.
Check how the tag fits the site’s implementation and which channels are supported for the intended setup. The provider’s stated prevention coverage is channel-specific, rather than a general promise across paid media.
Check Consent, Reports, and Data Handling
The provider says clients need to inform website users about Opticks technology and recommends explaining its use in the cookies policy. Ask which wording and placement it expects customers to use.
Opticks says it aims to comply with GDPR across the company and conducted a Data Protection Impact Assessment. It also says its servers are within the EU and that it appointed a Data Protection Officer. These are provider statements; ask what data is collected and how it is handled for the account.
The provider says Opticks Sensor and Opticksid expire at the end of a session. Check whether that session-expiry wording addresses the data lifecycle questions relevant to your use.
Prevention and Service Terms Have Boundaries
The provider’s feature pages and legal terms describe limits that affect prevention, disclosure, and service continuity.
- Lite is detection-only, so prevention is not included at that plan level.
- Automated prevention is specified for supported Google, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok channels.
- The site says clients need to inform users about Opticks technology on their websites.
- Opticks says temporary technical, security, or maintenance suspensions do not create a right to compensation or indemnification.
- Its legal notice reserves the right to disable access without prior notice if it believes a user violated website policies or applicable regulations.
Several operational details are missing; they are listed under What we could not confirm.
Detection, Analysis, and Evidence Tools
Opticks’ feature pages and support materials list coverage, reporting, and support options as follows.
- Lite combines detection with analytics, conversion analysis, custom alerts, and a watchlist.
- The provider lists automated prevention in supported Google, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok channels under Pro.
- Max includes custom click-by-click reports and API integration.
- Opticks describes a traffic-quality view by channel, UTM, device, and geography.
- The provider says it generates fraud evidence reports for refund or credit claims with ad networks, and describes refund-ready reports for Google Ads and Meta Ads.
- The site lists Google Tag Manager and a JavaScript tag for installation; Lite includes email and chat support, and the knowledge base provides another support channel.
Advertisers Comparing Scans and Users
Opticks identifies advertisers as its intended audience, and its plan tiers differ in scan and user allowances.
A buyer comparing plans should match the listed monthly scan allowance and user count to the account’s needs, then account for the difference between detection-only Lite and Pro’s stated prevention.
Ask for the exact allowance and the terms attached to the proposed plan before relying on that description.
Compare Anti-Fraud Tools by Workflow
In general, compare tools by the traffic they classify, whether they offer prevention in the channels you use, and how they integrate with your setup. Check reporting detail, pricing basis, privacy terms, and support access against the workflow you need to manage.

Questions About Opticks Plans and Setup
What does Lite do?
Lite provides detection, analytics, conversion analysis, custom alerts, and a watchlist, according to the provider’s feature listing. The plan is detection-only, so this feature list does not include prevention at Lite level.
Which plan lists prevention?
The provider lists detection and prevention under Pro, including automated prevention in supported Google, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok channels. That description makes the supported-channel condition central; it does not establish coverage for other channels.
What is included in Max?
Max includes custom click-by-click reports and API integration, according to the provider’s plan listing. Check the reporting format and API requirements against the work you need to do before choosing a plan.
How does the trial work?
Opticks lists a 7-day free trial with no credit card required, according to its homepage. Its glossary says cancellation is available anytime. Review the trial terms directly to understand how cancellation applies to your account.
What setup methods are listed?
The provider lists Google Tag Manager or a JavaScript tag as installation methods. The homepage says installation takes less than five minutes. Confirm which method fits your site and who will implement it.
What support and user-notice details does the provider state?
Opticks lists email and chat support on Lite, and provides a customer-support knowledge base. The site also says clients need to inform website users about Opticks technology. Clarify the notice wording and support access relevant to your account.
Decide by Prevention and Scan Needs
Fits if detection or prevention in the stated supported channels matches the workflow, and the listed scan and user allowance suits the account.
Probably not if prevention is needed in a channel outside the coverage named by the provider.
Main risk… relying on vendor descriptions without independent performance validation. Check the relevant allowance, channel coverage, and operating terms before signing up.
