Every CaliDiary booking form has a hidden spam trap that catches automated form-fillers, a limit on how many bookings one visitor can make in a short time, and Google reCAPTCHA with your own keys. All of it is on every plan.
A hidden spam trap and per-visitor limits catch automated bookings without puzzles.
reCAPTCHA v3 scores each visit invisibly, with a tick box only when needed.
For services where a fake booking costs you, hold bookings until you accept them.
Spam trap and limits by default.
From your own Google account.
For your most valuable services.
reCAPTCHA v3 (invisible, scoring each visit) with a v2 tick box as a fallback, using your own Google reCAPTCHA keys. It is loaded only on pages with a booking form. Using reCAPTCHA means Google receives some information about visitors, so your privacy policy should mention it; CaliDiary's suggested wording covers this.
