Advanced Custom Fields vs WPBruiser {no- Captcha anti-Spam}

ACF reCAPTCHA brings Google reCAPTCHA to Advanced Custom Fields, to be used on frontend forms. Features include: ACF reCAPTCHA Protection ensures that spambots cannot circumvent reCAPTCHA to submit forms on the server-side ACF-compliant client-side validation which prompts the user if reCAPTCHA is not clicked or had expired Customizable reCAPTCHA options, including theme (light/dark), type (image/audio) and size (normal/compact) Compatible with ACF Conditional Logic feature, which allows hiding/showing certain fields until the reCAPTCHA has been passed For more detailed setup instructions, or to report an issue, please head over to the GitHub repository here. ACF Frontend Forms ACF reCAPTCHA is meant to be used only on frontend forms, in order to protect them from spam by spambots. To create a frontend form programmatically, please view the official documentation on the ACF website here. ACF Compatibility ACF reCAPTCHA is currently only compatible with ACF v5 at the moment. If you would like to help to add support for v4, do submit a PR on GitHub. GitHub https://github.com/irvinlim/acf-recaptcha

WPBruiser (formerly GoodBye Captcha) is an anti-spam and security plugin based on algorithms that identify spam bots without any annoying and hard to read captcha images. WPBruiser completely eliminates spam-bot signups, spam comments, even brute force attacks, the second you install it on your WordPress website. It is completely invisible to the end-user – no need to ever fill out a Captcha or other “human-detection” field ever again – and it just works! Unlike other anti-spam plugins, which detect spam comments and signups after the fact and move them to your spam folder, which you then have to delete – using up not only your website’s resources, but your time as well, WPBruiser prevents the bots from leaving spam in the first place. The result is that your site is not only spam free, it’s faster and more secure. In addition, WPBruiser is completely self-contained and does not need to connect to any outside service. Your logins remain yours, 100%. WPBruiser fights Brute Force attacks and eliminates spam-bots on comments, signup pages as well as login and password reset pages. At the click of a button, you can decide which forms to protect.
