Great for stopping contact form spam

December 1, 2023
This is a great plugin for stopping spam being sent via email contact forms and all messages can be displayed to check they have been classified correctly as spam or not spam (they can also be re-classified if necessary but in my experience that doesn't happen very often). If you're looking for a way to reduce the amount of spam being sent via the contact forms on your website, I highly recommend this plugin. And the support team are very responsive as well!

Good solution and works on scale

November 14, 2023
Coming from Cleantalk (and a brief period of Akismet). That one did the job, but throughout a few years they had their share of problems and I really never got the peace of mind I was looking for. So enter OOPSpam. OOPSpam has turned out great so far. The setup is a quick minute or so per website and you're good to go. Consider the time you need to setup something like Cloudflare Turnstile or Google captcha, and with these solutions you don't even have a decent log file. With OOPSpam you get just the options you need, no more, no less. With Cleantalk it's a long page full of options. And honestly, I'm just looking for something that just works. OOPSpam has a great log right in the admin area of your website. In case of any false positive or negative, you can report it directly from the log. Last but not least, OOPSpam seems to have compatibility with nearly every form software available on the market, whether it's native Elementor/Breakdance or a tool like WPForms – it seems to support them all.

Perfect!

October 13, 2023
Been using Askimet, but they only filter comments. So, downloaded this plugin to test since I'm going crazy manually dealing with spam registrations. And this plugin worked beautifully!

Very solid spam control

May 15, 2023
I tried this as an alternative to Akismit on 40 or so sites I maintain. Now that it's been a few months, I can say I'm very happy with the usable data and tools provided to me. It's eliminated all spam, and even the need for Captcha. I like being able to solve my own problems, and I've learned a lot about spam control since installing this! Great plugin, highly recommend.

Works Really Well Stopping Spam in Elementor Forms

March 28, 2023
I run a small website development agency and had a lot of complaints from clients about spam submissions. After trying honeypots and Google reCAPTCHAs, a large amount of spam was still coming in. I gave Oopspam a shot and it worked really well, I actually just upgraded my plan. I would recommend this plugin for reducing the number of spam emails you or your clients have to go through.
