What you're buying

9kw is a credit exchange. Submitting a standard captcha costs 10 credits, solving one for another user earns 5 to 10, with bonuses for fast solves through the API. Registration needs an email address, and after it a single purchase option is offered: 40,000 credits for 5 euro. At 10 credits per standard captcha that's about EUR 1.25 per 1,000. Anyone with time can solve instead of paying.

What it's for

The plugin list explains the audience: JDownloader and other download and automation tools that have had a 9kw plugin for years. For those tools it's a working, cheap option. For a scraper meeting reCAPTCHA v2, Turnstile or hCaptcha, the prices page we read names none of them by name, and the only speed statement is under one minute, so the token arithmetic that matters elsewhere in this database can't be done here.
