#### Notes:
- "Hard for bots" does not include solvers like 2captcha or BrightData, as I cannot verify their legitimacy myself.
- Arkose Labs is considered "Easy for Bots" as their audio CAPTCHA is easy to solve by multi-modal LLMs.
**Note:** "Hard for bots" does not consider solvers like 2captcha, XEvil solver, or BrightData, as I cannot verify their legitimacy myself. However, they're extremely cheap.

Pretty much the same as reCAPTCHA, although hCAPTCHA is significantly more secure. Personally it's the best alternative to Cap, even though the widget's bundle size alone is significantly bigger.
Fun fact about hCAPTCHA, an attacker can easily solve it for $1.05/1k results while _you_ (the site owner) need to pay hCAPTCHA $1/1k solves just for the captcha, even if the content behind the captcha doesn't cost you anything.
Imagine if anyone could drain $100 dollars from your bank account just by knowing your name and paying $105 - pretty scary, right?
Unfortunately, hCAPTCHA is extremely expensive to use. At the time of writing, it's [$1/1k solutions](https://www.hcaptcha.com/pricing)
### Altcha
Cap is slightly smaller than altcha and easier to integrate, but if you don't care about that and want a more popular solution I would highly recommend checking it out.
Cap is slightly smaller than Altcha and includes extra features like checkpoints, progress tracking, and a simpler dashboard. if you don’t need those and prefer a more mature solution, Altcha is a still a solid choice.
### mCAPTCHA
mCAPTCHA is similar to both Cap and Altcha, but unfortunately mCAPTCHA doesn't look actively maintained anymore (the last commit was over a year ago).
Its bundle is also significantly larger, with the widget iframe being at 250kb! (150kb of that is just for a shield png)
