# Antispam recommendations

We recommend either deactivating comments or activating aa plugin, that should protect you from spam:

### Plugins

##### [Antispam Bee](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/antispam-bee/)

**Pros**

- uses [Project Honeypot](https://www.projecthoneypot.org/about_us.php)
- integrates seamlessly with any theme
- free

**Cons**

- doesn’t always work against automated (spambots) comment spam
- support seems to be non existent or only in German

### Service

##### [Akismet](https://akismet.com/)

**Pros**

- free for personal use
- integrates seamlessly with any theme

**Cons**

- doesn’t categorize as accurately as you’d hope ([false positives as high as 10%](https://managewp.com/best-anti-spam-plugin-for-wordpress))
- can cost a lot if you receive lots of comments
