AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Block AI Crawlers is a well-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. 8 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.

Protect Your Content from AI Scraping
This plugin tells AI companies not to crawl your site for their products via standard robots.txt rules.
Features Blocks AI Bots and Crawlers The plugin blocks dozens of AI bots via your site’s robots.txt file. You can toggle the blocks for each individual crawler.
Blocked crawlers include:
OpenAI – Blocks crawlers used for ChatGPT
Google – Blocks crawlers used by Google’s Gemini AI products
Meta – Blocks FacebookBot and Meta training crawlers
Anthropic – Blocks crawlers used by Claude
Perplexity – Blocks crawlers used by Perplexity
Apple – Blocks Applebot-Extended
Amazon – Blocks Amazonbot
…and 150+ more via ai.robots.txt
The blocked crawler list is generated at build time from ai.robots.txt (robots.json, MIT). See the plugin’s README.md for license attribution.
Experimental Meta Tags The plugin adds the experimental “noai, noimageai” directive to your site’s meta tags. You can toggle this on and off as needed.
Custom robots.txt Rules Have custom entries for your robots.txt file? You can now add them directly through the plugin!
Usage After activation, the plugin will automatically update your robots.txt and add the necessary meta tags. No further configuration is required, but you can check the settings page for a full list of blocked crawlers.
Limitations While this plugin aims to block specified crawlers, it cannot guarantee complete protection against all forms of scraping, as some bots may disregard robots.txt directives.
