| Editions | oopspam Anti-Spam · oopspam API plans ($) | WPS Hide Login |
| Pros | Background spam checks with no captcha; Works with WooCommerce and many form plugins; Spam and ham logs kept on the site | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | Needs an oopspam API key and a plan once the free calls run out; Each submission is sent to the oopspam API; IP location lookups use a third-party geolocation service | Hiding the URL is not a substitute for login rate limiting; Forgotten login URLs lock editors out until the plugin is disabled; Maintained without guaranteed free support |
