DeathByCaptcha56 of 100, fair

One flat $2.89 per 1,000 for almost every token type, and a live average solving time on the pricing page.

The simplest price list here and the most expensive per token. The live status line is honest; the flat $2.89 is the premium you pay for that simplicity.

Best for: Low volumes where one flat rate and a long-running service outweigh price.

$2.89 per 1,000 for reCAPTCHA v2 is the highest published token rate in this set, close to five times CapMonster Cloud's $0.60. Package bonuses of 25 to 30 percent and 20 percent for crypto reduce it, not enough to change the ranking.

Coverageweight 204 of 5

16 priced types including reCAPTCHA v2, v3 and Invisible, GeeTest v3 and v4, Turnstile, DataDome, Tencent, Amazon WAF, Friendly Captcha, MTCaptcha and Cyber Siara. No Arkose Labs row on the pricing page.

Stated speedweight 153 of 5

A live average is printed on the pricing page, 27 seconds for reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 and 7 seconds for other types when we read it. It's a live figure, not a commitment per type.

Integrationweight 154 of 5

Client libraries on GitHub with C++ and Go added in an April update, and browser extensions. No guides for Selenium, Puppeteer or Playwright on the pricing page.

Transparencyweight 154 of 5

A flat rate per type, a live status line and a dated changelog on one public page, plus a linked status page. What the $4.99 GOLD membership includes isn't stated there.

What you're buying

DeathByCaptcha prices almost everything at $2.89 per 1,000: reCAPTCHA v2, v3 and Invisible, GeeTest v3 and v4, Turnstile, DataDome, Tencent, Amazon WAF, Friendly Captcha, MTCaptcha, Cutcaptcha, Capy, Lemin, atbCAPTCHA and Cyber Siara. Normal image captchas are $0.99 to $2 and audio is $0.59.

That flat rate is the whole story of this review. It's the simplest list in the market, and on reCAPTCHA v2 it's close to five times CapMonster Cloud's $0.60 and about three times Anti-Captcha's low band. Prepaid packages carry a 25 or 30 percent bonus and crypto payments a further 20 percent, which brings the effective rate down but not into the range of the cheaper vendors.

Speed

The pricing page prints a live line: when we read it, 27 seconds average for reCAPTCHA v2 and v3, 7 seconds for other types, both refreshed a minute earlier. Two things follow. First, it's a real measurement, which is more than most vendors publish. Second, 27 seconds is roughly a quarter of a reCAPTCHA token's two-minute life, and the number will be different on the day you read it.

Coverage

17 priced types. The list covers the current Cloudflare, Google, GeeTest, DataDome and Amazon challenges and several smaller ones. It doesn't name Arkose Labs FunCaptcha, which 2Captcha prices at EUR 1.4 to EUR 50 and Anti-Captcha at $3.

Integration

A dated update on the pricing page says the client libraries were upgraded in April with C++ and Go added and the code lives on GitHub. Browser extensions are mentioned. There are no Selenium, Puppeteer or Playwright guides on the page we read.

Terms

Credit is bought in packages through several payment gateways, bank transfer among them, with the bonus tiers noted above. A GOLD membership is offered at $4.99 a month with a learn-more link; the pricing page itself doesn't say what it buys. The page also advertises limited spots for prioritized reCAPTCHA v2 solving under unstated conditions.
