AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Astounding Spam Prevention is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Anti-spam category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 9 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 Astounding Spam Prevention works
Using the most effective features of other spam programs. Astounding Spam Prevention effectively guards against comment spam and registration spam without the use of a Captcha.
This is a fork of the original Stop Spammers Spam Prevention and uses some of the code, but it is greatly simplified so it is not as aggressive and will not prevent a user from logging in. It does not interfere with jetpack and does not know about WooCommerce so there are no conflicts. Unlike Stop Spammers it does not check logins, but only checks registrations and comments.
It also repairs many bugs that I found in the Stop Spammers plugin and has many new methods for detecting spam.
