Spam protection from a global database.
AbuseIPDB tracks IPs linked to spam, fraud, hacking attempts, and abuse – so the worst actors are caught before they reach your forms.
Set the rules, let it run
Configure your score threshold, country and domain blocklists once – AbuseIPDB filters every submission against them automatically.
Smarter than a static blocklist
Every IP gets a score from 0 to 100, based on how recently and how often it’s been reported, so filtering reflects real, current behavior.
Included with all licenses
The AbuseIPDB Add-On is available with every Gravity Forms license – Basic, Pro, Elite, and Nonprofit.
How AbuseIPDB works
When someone submits a form, AbuseIPDB returns a confidence score for the IP address. You decide how strict your forms are.
IP score filtering: Set your threshold and any submission above it is marked as spam.
Country blocklist: Block submissions from specific countries using country IP codes.
Domain blocklist: Block submissions from specific domains tied to known bad actors.
Two-way reporting: Mark an entry as spam in WordPress and the IP is reported back to AbuseIPDB as Web Spam.
The Gravity Forms anti-spam toolkit
AbuseIPDB is one of several ways Gravity Forms helps you combat spam. Combine methods for stronger protection.
Akismet: Checks submissions against a global spam database – filters out malicious entries automatically.
reCAPTCHA: Support for both Google reCAPTCHA v2 and v3.
Honeypot protection: A hidden field that catches bots without affecting real users.
Transparent pricing?
That’s affirmative.

Frequently Asked Questions.
What is the Gravity Forms AbuseIPDB integration?
The Gravity Forms AbuseIPDB integration helps filter and block spam and malicious submissions by checking every form entry against a global database of reported IP addresses linked to spam, fraud, hacking attempts, and other abusive behavior.
How does AbuseIPDB spam protection work in Gravity Forms?
When a user submits a form, Gravity Forms sends the IP address to AbuseIPDB, which returns an abuse confidence score between 0 and 100. You can set a custom threshold so submissions from suspicious IP addresses are automatically marked as spam.

Yes. The AbuseIPDB Add-On for Gravity Forms includes a country blocklist feature that allows you to block submissions from selected countries using country IP codes, helping reduce unwanted or fraudulent entries.
Does the AbuseIPDB integration support domain blocking?
Yes. You can create a domain blocklist to automatically block submissions from domains associated with known spam, fraud, or abusive activity.
What makes AbuseIPDB better than a static IP blocklist?
Unlike static blocklists, AbuseIPDB uses a dynamic abuse confidence score based on how recently and how frequently an IP address has been reported. This gives your WordPress forms smarter, real-time spam filtering that adapts to current threats.
Can Gravity Forms report spam back to AbuseIPDB?
Yes. Gravity Forms supports two-way reporting, so when you mark an entry as spam in WordPress, the IP address can be reported back to AbuseIPDB as Web Spam to help improve the global spam database.
