Snapzi has made Bots irrelevant

$63 Billion Paid to Bots in 2025 Alone

Juniper 2025 Global Invalid Traffic Report analyzed 2.1 billion paid clicks across Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Bing — here's what they found, platform by platform.

Up to 30% of Ad Spend Goes to Wasted in 2024

Businesses are estimated to lose hundreds of billions in ad spend each year due to bot traffic and low-quality impressions, with some reports suggesting up to 30 percent of digital ad budgets may be wasted.

Over $100 B Wasted in Ad Spend

Industry analysis is alarming — including bot traffic and fraudulent clicks accounted for over $100B in wasted digital ad spend last year.
