  • Not helpful!

    When activate a plugin, you could see a settings with "Configure the settings for the CaptchaFox widget. Don't have a site key? Click here to create an account". And it linked to a dead link "portal.captchafox.com" (not working URL). This plugin has too simple settings, and no helpful document to make it works. 2 first 5 stars reviews seems was fake by their team which violates a rule of WordPress community.

  • GDPR compliant and stops bots

    I needed a GDPR-compliant solution and captcha fox fully meets this requirement. The setup was easy and it runs flawlessly. In some quick tests I did, it was effective at detecting automated requests, such as bots.

  • Best reCaptcha alternative!

    We needed a privacy-compliant alternative to reCaptcha and CaptchaFox ticked all the boxes. It protects us from spam and bots without any problems. Highly recommended if you are looking to switch.
