TrafficGuard capabilities are based on public positioning and may change — verify on their site. We don’t publish unverifiable accuracy claims about other tools.
You want transparent, auditable measurement: every click scored 0–100 across 100+ data points, attributed to the publisher/zone/placement that sent it — including the native, push and pop networks most tools barely cover.
Full-funnel fraud prevention with strong mobile/app-install coverage.
Many teams run both: a blocker for automated exclusion, ValidVisit for independent scored evidence across every paid source.
Where TrafficGuard is stronger
Full-funnel fraud prevention with strong mobile/app-install coverage.
