Frequently Asked Questions
A "request" refers to obtaining a new "puzzle" from our servers by the captcha widget. Note that, by default, captcha widget only obtains a new "puzzle" when the user starts filling out the form, so you don't pay for every page load.
You can try Private Captcha for 14 days for free without a credit card. After the trial period, you would need to choose a plan to continue using Private Captcha.

Instead of asking users to solve complex puzzles or track their behavior, Private Captcha solves an invisible cryptographic task in the background. The system automatically adjusts the task difficulty, ensuring smooth access for real users while making it too costly for bots to attempt. Cryptographic task provides equal security regardless of bot's intelligence level, making it effective even as AI technology improves. Which is hard to say about image/sound recognition tasks of other captchas.
On scale, bots exhibit different usage patterns and fingerprints statistics than real users. Detection of those patterns is part of the Private Captcha solution.
