TrueVisit vs ClickMagick
ClickMagick is a click tracker whose Click Shield blocks bad clicks before they land. TrueVisit is a verification layer that classifies every visit that does arrive and keeps the evidence. Most affiliates who use ClickMagick still need something that explains the traffic that got through.

They are not alternatives
ClickMagick is your source of truth for clicks, conversions, and split testing, and it routes traffic through its own tracking links. TrueVisit does not route clicks and should not replace it for that job.
TrueVisit answers a different question: of the traffic that reached your page, how much was a person, which source sent the rest, and what evidence supports that verdict for an ad network dispute.
What each one is for
| Question | ClickMagick | TrueVisit |
|---|---|---|
| How many clicks and conversions did I get | Yes | No |
| Split test links and rotators | Yes | No |
| Block a bad click before it lands | Yes, through Click Shield | No |
| How much of that traffic was a real person | Partially, through bot blocking | Yes, as the core product |
| Every verdict stored with a reason | Not the product focus | Yes |
| Did an AI crawler read my landing page | No | Yes |
What Click Shield does
ClickMagick markets Click Shield as blocking 99 percent of bots through proprietary, self-learning filtering, plus rules you set yourself for click behavior, suspicious IPs, countries, or devices. A blocked click is shown a generic error page instead of your offer and is not recorded in your stats at all. Checked August 26, 2026.
That last point cuts both ways. Because a blocked click leaves no stats and ClickMagick's public material does not document the specific signals behind the 99 percent figure, there is nothing for you to audit or hand to an ad network as evidence. TrueVisit's slower, after-the-fact verdict comes with the reasoning attached.
Where the two differ
| ClickMagick Click Shield | TrueVisit | |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict classes | Blocked or not, no record kept of blocked clicks | Human, suspected bot, confirmed bot |
| Reason stored per visit | Not documented | Yes, plain English plus a reason code |
| Names the specific bot | No | Yes, where known |
| Sees AI crawlers such as GPTBot | No, tied to its own tracking links | Yes, through server-side collection |
| Blacklist export for ad networks | Not a documented feature | Per field, plus an evidence CSV |
| Publisher invalid traffic risk score | No | GIVT and SIVT split, with an early warning |
| Entry price | From $79 per month, 10,000 tracked visitors | From $5 per month |
What ClickMagick does better
- It blocks in real time. A click Click Shield rejects never reaches your landing page at all, it gets a generic error page instead, at the moment of the click. TrueVisit only ever reports on a visit that already arrived and cannot stop one from happening.
- One platform for link tracking, split testing, and an AI-driven performance analyst reviewing your ads.
- A simple, one-screen setup for a solo affiliate who wants click protection without a second dashboard.
How they fit together
- Keep ClickMagick as the source of truth for clicks, split tests, and revenue.
- Put the TrueVisit tag on your landing pages, passing the same sub ID and tracking parameters you already pass to ClickMagick.
- When TrueVisit shows a source with a low quality score, block it at the traffic network, the same way Click Shield blocks an individual click.
TrueVisit captures the common sub ID, zone, and click ID parameter names automatically, so in most setups this needs no extra tagging work.
