What is ListDefender Essentials
The Essentials plan focuses on form protection only. It’s ideal if you want to secure your signup or contact forms from bots, spam, and suspicious signups, but don’t yet need full list cleaning or engagement tracking.
Key features include:
Unlimited forms, submissions, and sites
Bot‑blocking and protection from abusive IP addresses
Filtering suspicious signups based on criteria like free email addresses, catch‑all domains, role‑based emails, country, vulgar/suspicious content, and more
Essentials is perfect for organizations that want robust, basic form security without the complexity or cost of full list‑management tools.
If you later need full validation, list cleaning, or engagement monitoring, you can upgrade to the more comprehensive Complete plan.
