AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
AI Scrape Protect is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Ai category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How AI Scrape Protect works
Show full descriptionShow less
AI Scrape Protect is a WordPress plugin designed to protect your website from scraping for AI training purposes. It achieves this by adding opt-out instructions to the robots.txt file for the most common AI scraping bots and including meta tags to control how your content is used.
Version 5.0 introduces a full settings page with granular per-bot control, categorised bot management, AJAX-powered toggles, and support for custom user agents.
Features
Adds User-agent and Disallow rules to your robots.txt file to block a comprehensive list of AI scraping bots.
Generates compact robots.txt output: all blocked bots are grouped under a single Disallow: / directive.
Introduces meta tags in the HTML <head> to provide additional instructions to AI bots.
Separate toggles for content meta tags (noai, nosummary, DisallowAITraining) and image meta tags (noimageai).
Settings page with five categorised tabs: Search Engines, AI Training, AI Search & Answers, General Indexing, Custom Bots.
Group toggle per category to block or allow all bots in that category at once.
Individual per-bot toggle with description and company information for each bot.
Custom bots tab: add and remove your own user agent strings.
Global enable/disable toggle and separate toggles for robots.txt and meta tags.
“Apply default settings” button to reset all options.
Admin bar icon linking to the settings page (visible to administrators only). Icon reflects the current enabled state.
Physical robots.txt detection notice: warns you if a file in your root directory overrides WordPress’s virtual robots.txt.
Fully AJAX-powered settings page: changes are saved instantly without page reloads.
Extensible via the aisp_user_agents filter for developers.
Multisite note: settings are stored per site using get_option/update_option. Network-wide configuration is not supported.
Note: robots.txt and meta tag opt-out instructions are not always respected by all bots. This plugin is a measure to discourage scraping rather than a guaranteed technical block.
