Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFormlware protects your contact form from spam using six detection layers: a honeypot trap, time threshold, rate limiting, keyword blocklist, disposable email detection, and duplicate content detection. Blocked submissions are held in a review queue, not deleted, so you can release any legitimate messages that were incorrectly caught.
Spam on your contact form wastes time, triggers unwanted email flows, and buries real customer messages. FormSentry checks every submission using behavioral signals, email reputation, and content analysis; then blocks the junk and lets real messages through. Works with contact forms, blog comments, Shopify Forms App and popular form builders.
