Akismet Anti-spam vs Contact Form Migrator from Gravity Forms to Formidable

The best anti-spam protection to block spam comments and spam in a contact form. The most trusted antispam solution for WordPress and WooCommerce. Akismet checks your comments and contact form submissions against our global database of spam to prevent your site from publishing malicious content. You can review the comment spam it catches on your blog’s “Comments” admin screen. Major features in Akismet include: Automatically checks all comments and filters out the ones that look like spam. Each comment has a status history, so you can easily see which comments were caught or cleared by Akismet and which were spammed or unspammed by a moderator. URLs are shown in the comment body to reveal hidden or misleading links. Moderators can see the number of approved comments for each user. A discard feature that outright blocks the worst spam, saving you disk space and speeding up your site. PS: You’ll be prompted to get an Akismet.com API key to use it, once activated. Keys are free for personal blogs; paid subscriptions are available for businesses and commercial sites.

Switch your contact forms easily from Gravity Forms to Formidable Forms. We’ll automatically build and import your forms and email notifications for you. Once you’ve migrated, you’ll have access to the most advanced form builder for WordPress forms. Why Switch From Gravity Forms to Formidable? Both Formidable and Gravity Forms are advanced drag and drop form builders. While Gravity Forms offers more direct integrations, Formidable offers a full-featured solution. If you are relying on third-party Gravity add-ons, it may lead to trouble. Not all extensions are reliably supported or are limited because they aren’t written by the Gravity team. With Formidable, you get a modern form builder, integrated Views, surveys with visual reports, and form styling. We’ve built our forms and Views to work together seamlessly for the most flexibility imaginable. If you’re using Gravity Views, you can save a lot by switching to just one plugin.

Get front-end editing, form styling options, entry relationships, star ratings, range slider fields, embedded forms, preview before submit, prebuilt form templates, custom reports, and customizable form HTML. But that’s not all. Get read only fields, the option to hide a field label, conditional content in email notifications, pass values from one field to another, field visibility for logged in users, blackout dates, unique entry ids, import entries, and more! You get the idea: Formidable allows you to do more. Still need some examples to show you what you can do?
