Human Presence – Stop Form Spam Without ReCaptcha

Was a great a service but it appears they have shut down.

To absolutely have on your website. It independently and completely BLOCKS ALL SPAM, better than any other plugin!!!

I manage some high reputation sites that have been bombarded with contact form spam. I use (and love) Gravity Forms and despite taken every effort we could (honeycomb, captcha, akismet, etc) spam still made it’s way through. My expectations for Human Presence were low, but IT WORKS! Spam has gone to zero on every site we manage. I’ve only used with Gravity Forms, so cannot speak to other integrations. The setup and configuration was super easy as there are very few settings. I would recommend giving Human Presence a try.

My rating is a 4 stars because on occasion some real users are viewed as spam and the form either loads indefinitely (stalls) or results in a Critical Error which I have yet to be able to resolve.

Very ingenious plug-in, which holds back spam enormously. Also the support is very fast and very happy to help with problems. On the whole, the plug-in does exactly what it should!

As with several plugins I have purchased, a cloud of skepticism prevails until I have used the service for a while. So far, Human Presence has served me well.

I had several clients complaining about spam coming in from their website forms. Since installing Human Presence I have not heard from them again. I can only assume that as with most AI software that it should only get better as it learns.
