AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
CleanMod – AI Comment Moderation is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 1 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.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by cleanmod — established developer track record

How CleanMod – AI Comment Moderation works
Show full descriptionShow less
CleanMod WordPress Plugin integrates CleanMod AI comment moderation to automatically detect and handle toxic comments on your WordPress site.
Features
Automatic Moderation: New comments are automatically sent to CleanMod’s moderation API
Flexible Behavior: Configure how flagged and blocked comments are handled
Fail-Safe: Comments still work even if the API is unavailable
Native WordPress Integration: Works with WordPress’s built-in comment system
How It Works
When a new comment is submitted, the plugin intercepts it using WordPress’s pre_comment_approved filter
The comment text is sent to CleanMod’s /api/v1/moderate endpoint
Based on the decision returned (allow, flag, or block), the comment status is adjusted according to your settings
If the API is unavailable, comments proceed normally (fail-open policy)
External Services This plugin relies on the CleanMod moderation service (https://cleanmod.dev) to analyze and moderate comments. When a new comment is submitted on your WordPress site, the comment text is sent to CleanMod’s API for moderation analysis.
