Fight Spam Form Entries with Google reCAPTCHA v3

The reCAPTCHA Add-On is for you if you’re sick and tired of receiving spam entries through your forms.

Free to use for anyone with a Gravity Forms license, this add-on works to prevent unwanted messages from being submitted via your forms. Thanks to this and its ease of use and efficient functionality, the reCAPTCHA Add-On 1.4 is a cost-effective solution for fighting form spam.

One of the main reasons to use Google reCAPTCHA on your site is that it’s been designed to detect and challenge non-human users while letting human users access your forms without interruption.

Due to this, your genuine form users will enjoy a positive user experience and you’ll receive fewer spam form entries without impacting form conversion rates.

Spam protection is achieved by reCAPTCHA tracking user actions on your site. Those tracked actions are then used to identify possible spam or bot activity. This does mean that user behavior data is sent to Google for analysis. You can find out more by reading about Google reCAPTCHA v3.

Note: The reCAPTCHA Add-On is available to all customers. Gravity Forms v2.5 (or higher) is required.
