At early stage you are not going to get spam anyway. Once it grows (and i hope it does) you will get fare share of spam. As you said at that point you could check solutions like Akismet, OOPSpam.

Probably you were targeted if you got 400 spam comments per day. Check out OOPSpam.

As for spam from the contact forms, you could look into integrating with https://www.oopspam.com/. It returns score similar to reCaptcha in addition to the outputs from different analyses.

Thanks for the link. I didn't know the developer could prevent reCAPTCHA from appearing.

That is not entirely true. If your threshold is low then it appears and you get accessibility issue. Not to mention tracking hell of out the users.

reCAPTCHA is an accessibility and privacy nightmare.

There are better alternatives like OOPSpam API that gives a score and works in the backend so no interaction with the user.
