Friendly Captcha for WordPress

On first sight this CAPTCHA solution is what many people are looking for: Easy to implement and fully GDPR-compliant.

With the "Personal" plan there is a free plan available however I got an email from the friendly captcha team to upgrade my account. The smallest pricing option is 9 € a month. Sorry guys... for providing a simple piece of software 1.080 € over 10 years is ridiculous and I am out.

Good but...

Anti-spam, Spam protection, ReCaptcha for all forms and GDPR-compliant


Blocked hundreds of spam WooCommerce orders, and the plugin continues to be actively monitored and improved. I'm sure it will continue to get even better. Great work.


Excellent


The developer is really motivated to get this plugin going. Nice guy.



And the plugin helps catching spam without violating GDPR. Great for german or EU-sites.



Thanks a lot for this plugin.


Works like a charm and great developer-support
