Why customers switch

Three patterns we hear on migration calls from ClickPatrol.

⏱

The 7-day trial problem

Day 1Day 14–21 (baseline)Day 30

ClickPatrol's trial ends before your fraud baseline is established (industry: 2–3 weeks). MyClickShield's 30-day money-back covers the full validation window.

🔌

The CMS coverage gap

If your stack is Magento, PrestaShop or Joomla, ClickPatrol means manual script-tag install. MyClickShield ships native plugins for all of them.

$

The yearly-prepay surprise

ClickPatrol's €59/mo requires yearly billing upfront (≈€708). MyClickShield is $65/mo month-to-month, cancel any month, no clawback.

Switching questions, answered.

Everything teams ask before they move from ClickPatrol.

Yes. MyClickShield is fully GDPR compliant with EU data residency available, just like ClickPatrol. Both vendors are suitable for EU advertisers. ClickPatrol holds ISO 27001 certification today; ours is in progress.
No. Click data lives on each ad platform's reporting side — your historical ClickPatrol reports stay in their dashboard. MyClickShield starts a fresh detection baseline from day one and learns your site's traffic pattern in the first 7 days.
Yes, and many teams do this for the first 1–2 weeks. Both tools push fraudulent IPs to the same ad-platform exclusion lists independently — there is no conflict.
ClickPatrol's €59 and €69 prices are billed annually — you pay roughly €708 or €828 upfront for the year. MyClickShield is $65 / $97 month-to-month at the same rate, with a 30-day money-back guarantee instead of a 7-day trial.
Yes. Pro plan includes agency permissions and white-label reports. One dashboard manages multiple client ad accounts. We will help bulk-import existing ClickPatrol setups if you have 5+ accounts.
Yes. MyClickShield ships native plugins for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, Magento 2 and OpenCart. ClickPatrol is WordPress + tracking script for everything else.
No downtime. Both tools use the official Google, Meta and Microsoft APIs for IP exclusion. Adding MCS does not remove anything ClickPatrol already set up. No campaigns paused, no quality scores reset.
That is exactly what the 30-day money-back guarantee is for. If saved spend doesn't justify the cost after a full reporting cycle, email us — full refund, no questions.
