AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP Simple SpamCheck is a newly-listed 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. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). 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 WP Simple SpamCheck works
This plugin allows WordPress to block over 95% of spam comments using a time-based hash.
This allows for a minimum sanity check and yet should remove almost all spam comments
without the need to sign up to any third party APIs.
The plugin has been tested in real world conditions for around 12 months. It will not block
real comments and it is pretty effective against spam, however it only uses a very simple
algorithm and for that reason some spam comments may still make it through.
