What our customers say
With the existing documentation it was very easy to set up Private Captcha and it does exactly what it should. The fact that it secures my forms without annoying users by meaningless puzzles, its focus on privacy and the fact that it is being made and hosted in the EU are important to me and I am happy to pay a small fee for that. And the customer support is very helpful and responsive. Great product and great service!

Frequently Asked Questions
A "request" refers to obtaining a new "puzzle" from our servers by the captcha widget or verifying captcha solution. 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.
You will not be automatically charged for sudden spikes of traffic. Only after your monthly usage exceeds current tier's limit for two months worth of usage (in a row or during a single month), you will be contacted by our support with an offer to upgrade to a higher tier.
To make migration as easy as possible, Private Captcha offers a lot of pre-built integrations for different platforms, OpenAPI spec file and a special compatibility mode for reCAPTCHA migration, if that's your thing.
You can cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel, you can get a pro-rata refund for the unused part of your subscription.

You can sign-up with the low traffic volume plan and in the billing settings you can get an add-on for the extra domains. We offer add-ons for any number of additional domains.
You can use any amount of forms on each domain, including subdomains (if you will enable them in settings).
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 as we process a lot of request data on behalf of our clients.
