Can I use Stop Spammers with Akismet?
Yes. They can even work together for an extra layer of protection.

Can I use Stop Spammers with Jetpack?
Yes and no. You can use all Jetpack features except for Jetpack Protect, as it conflicts with Stop Spammers.

Can I use Stop Spammers with other spam and security plugins?
Generally, no. Most advanced plugins should not be used with other plugins that do the same thing. For example: cache, SEO, and spam/security plugins usually don't work better by doubling up, and can often conflict, essentially cancelling each other out or even negatively impacting the result you're trying to achieve.
