We can’t stand spam
Who can? You have better things to do with your life than deal with the underbelly of the internet. Automattic Kismet (Akismet for short) is a collaborative effort to make comment and trackback spam a non-issue and restore innocence to blogging, so you never have to worry about spam again.
Who's behind Akismet?
Akismet is brought to you by Automattic, the creators of WordPress.com. For over 5 years, Automattic has been committed to fighting spam by continually improving the Akismet algorithm.
Free for personal use
That's right. Our goal is to eliminate web spam from as many sites as possible. So don't hesitate to grab a free API key for your personal blog.
Commercial Use
While we've made Akismet free for as many people as possible, we still need to keep the lights on and the servers humming. If you are using Akismet on a commercial site we have commercial API keys available just for you.
