Snaptcha is an invisible captcha and will be the last time you will ever have to think about protecting your forms from spam bots.
Snaptcha (Simple Non-obtrusive Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is an invisible captcha and will be the last time you will ever have to think about protecting your forms from spam bots.
Snaptcha will automatically add a hidden field to your Comment forms, Safecracker forms, Freeform forms, Member Registration forms and Forum Submission forms and will validate it on submission. If it determines that a spambot is attempting to submit the form then it will prevent the form from being submitted and will output an error message. You can control the level of security as well as the error message text.
Comparison with Honeypot
The Honeypot captcha method is similar to Snaptcha’s low security level. It simply adds a hidden input field to the form and “hopes” that spam bots will enter a value into it, thereby giving them away as bots. Snaptcha’s medium and high security levels are far more secure than Honeypot, requiring javascript and the latter only allowing single form submissions. This means that the vast majority of spam bots will be blocked.
Latest Updates (full changelog)
- Added optional logging of rejected form submissions (v1.3)
- Fixed bug in new forum topic form (v1.2.1)
- Added support for Forum Submission forms (v1.2)

Bam! Just great: Ultra-simple to set up, works absolutely perfect. Have 15.000 visitors/day, not 1 spam-mail until now with Snaptcha.
And 9$ is absolutely ok!

Why didn’t we have this add-on years ago?! We deal with spam issues often so Snaptcha is a great solution. Very simple and easy to use too.

In 3 words it’s ‘absolutely bloody brilliant’. From around 40 spam form mails a day to zero with no effort. Definitely the simplest method of cutting out spam. Ben, you’re a legend.

Such a simple, user friendly and, more importantly, effective way to fight the spam battle. It allowed me to remove all CAPTCHA from my site and improve the user experience dramatically.
