<li>Advanced Bot Detection – Uses pattern matching, behavioral analysis, and IP tracking to identify bots</li>

</ul>
How It Works:
FormShield analyzes user behavior patterns, content patterns, IP history, email validation, and submission frequency to determine if a submission is from a real human or a bot. This multi-layered approach is more effective than traditional captchas and provides a better user experience.
Privacy & Security:
<ul>
<li>Core spam protection runs entirely on your server — no data is sent offsite</li>
<li>Optional AbuseIPDB integration: if you enter an API key, the submitter’s IP address is sent to api.abuseipdb.com to check its abuse reputation. This is disabled by default and requires a user-configured API key</li>
<li>All other features are fully self-contained</li>
<li>GDPR compliant</li>
<li>No user data collection beyond standard WordPress logging</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
FormShield’s core spam protection runs entirely on your server. No data is transmitted offsite by default.
Optional AbuseIPDB integration: If you configure an AbuseIPDB API key in Settings, the IP address of each form submitter will be sent to <code>api.abuseipdb.com</code> to check for known abuse. This feature is opt-in and disabled unless you provide a key. See https://www.abuseipdb.com/privacy-policy for their privacy policy.
All other processing — honeypot checks, content analysis, behavioral scoring, rate limiting — happens entirely on your WordPress installation.

OOPSpam Anti-Spam: Spam Protection for WordPress Forms & Comments (No CAPTCHA)

This is a great plugin with a very responsive and knowledgable support team.

I emailed them yesterday with a kind of obscure WooCommerce feature request and they had a fix deployed within 12 hours.

Yes, it's a paid service if your site has any kind of volume at all, but it's extremely effective and fully built for privacy and GDPR compliant. We're trying to de-G00glify everything for our clients so their websites are not tracking users every move and implementing this service is part of our (slow and tedious) move in that direction. 

Pricing is perfect for agencies as they do tiers by actual # of API calls and no limit on the number of sites you can install this on. Most competitors we were looking at had per-site license structures that were not going to work for us.

Works well for default comment fields, WPForms and WooCommerce. Has some other integrations but those are the ones we tried.

If you have any doubts, just go back into your logs of spam that slipped through reCAPTCHA and Akismet and a honeypot... pick a message and enter the data on the app.oopspam.com dashboard you can edit the test data right there and it will show you what spam score their system would give that message.

Great Service
