Filter out spam form entries with Akismet. Let Akismet handle spam detection so you can focus on what matters – your business.

Spam protection you can trust. 

Akismet checks every submission against its global database of spam – training, identifying, and filtering out malicious entries automatically.

Used by millions 

Akismet protects millions of websites from spam every day. It works in the background, saving you hours of moderation time.

Keep your data clean

Spam entries are flagged before notifications are sent or data reaches your other add-ons – only legitimate submissions get through.

Included with all licenses 

The Akismet Add-On is available with every Gravity Forms license – Basic, Pro, Elite, and Nonprofit.

How it works 

Enable Akismet, and every form submission is checked automatically – no additional plugins required.

Automatic filtering: Submissions flagged as spam won’t trigger notifications or send data to other add-ons.

Field mapping: Map your form fields to Akismet for more accurate detection.  

Fewer false positives: Better data means legitimate entries are less likely to be marked as spam.

The Gravity Forms anti-spam toolkit 

Akismet is just one part of how Gravity Forms helps you combat spam. Combine multiple methods for the best protection.

reCAPTCHA: Support for both Google reCAPTCHA v2 and v3.

Cloudflare Turnstile: A privacy-friendly CAPTCHA alternative that verifies users without puzzles.

Honeypot protection: A hidden field that catches bots without affecting real users.
