CaptchaFox for WordPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   When activate a plugin, you could see a settings with “Configure the settings for the CaptchaFox widget. Don’t have a site key? Click here to create an account“. And it linked to a dead link “portal.captchafox.com” (not working URL). This plugin has too simple settings, and no helpful document to make it works. 2 first 5 stars reviews seems was fake by their team which violates a rule of WordPress community.

   I needed a GDPR-compliant solution and captcha fox fully meets this requirement. The setup was easy and it runs flawlessly. In some quick tests I did, it was effective at detecting automated requests, such as bots.

   We needed a privacy-compliant alternative to reCaptcha and CaptchaFox ticked all the boxes. It protects us from spam and bots without any problems. Highly recommended if you are looking to switch.
