AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Formidable Honeypot is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Spam category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 2 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

How Formidable Honeypot works
The “honeypot” technique for SPAM protection is invisible to humans, and tricks robots into filling out an invisible form field. Then, if that invisible field has been filled, the form cannot be submitted. Easy, non-instrusive SPAM protection.
No settings to set, this honeypot is added to all Formidable forms on your site, unless the user is logged in. When SPAM is suspected, the form will not be submitted and the visitor will be alerted to this fact.
Tested to work with both Formidable (free) and Formidable Pro (best bet for awesome form power!)
A note to Formidable Pro users: You paid to receive extra features in the Formidable plugin. Me too, it’s well worth it. This Honeypot plugin, and Ryan (the developer) are not connected to Formidable in any way. Since this adds another very helpful feature to Formidable, I ask you to send a donation at WPbiz.co to say thanks and encourage future developemnt.
