Brand new release: reCAPTCHA Add-On 2.0

By Gravity Forms Published August 27, 2025

We’re pleased to announce that we have updated the Gravity Forms reCAPTCHA Add-On. In version 2.0, you’ll find the following updates…

• Added support for notifying Google (annotating the assessment) when an entry that has a reCAPTCHA score is marked as spam or not spam via the entries list or detail pages. Note: only applies to the Enterprise connection type and entries created after this version is installed.
• Fixed an issue where the status displayed instead of the score on the entries list and entry detail pages is not translatable.

Block spam. Keep your forms clean.

Spam protection shouldn’t feel like an afterthought, or a burden. With the Gravity Forms reCAPTCHA Add-On, you can tap into Google’s powerful verification tools to quietly block bots before they ever reach your inbox.

Set it up in minutes. Stay protected for the long run.

Use reCAPTCHA v2 (built-in), v3 Classic, or v3 Enterprise (via the reCAPTCHA Add-On) depending on the level of control and visibility you need. Whether you’re fielding customer inquiries, user registrations, or giveaway entries, you’ll know your form data is coming from real people – not automated scripts.

Let the bots bounce. Your users won’t even notice.

For more information on setting up and using the add-on, visit the Gravity Forms documentation.

Note: The reCAPTCHA Add-On is available with all Gravity Forms licenses. Visit our pricing page for more information on the features and other add-ons available on each plan.
