Absolutely the BEST!!!

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

Solved my spam issues

andrewadam December 20, 2022

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.

Top Plug-in with best protection

Patrick October 19, 2022

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!

So far, so good

roger7177 August 2, 2022

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.

Good idea but finally useless

queviko June 17, 2022

I was disappointed to discover that only few plug-ins were recognized. More than this, the default system login forms are not handled. Still you can still get spam on your main login system. Therefore you’ll still need captcha for basic default system forms. If the idea was great, the current coverage of the tool makes it useless, as you till need captcha for basic system forms. Forget the ability to cover well know LMS system like Tutor LMS Pro, it will not be recognized.

Good support with chat
