Details
Friendly Captcha is a German bot-protection service that replaces visible CAPTCHA challenges with an invisible proof-of-work puzzle. The widget solves the puzzle in the background while the visitor fills in the form, and the resulting token is verified server-side. It sets no cookies and stores no personal data from end users, and carries ISO 27001, GDPR and WCAG 2.2 AA conformance.
Paid plans run from EUR 9 per month for one domain and 1,000 requests to EUR 200 per month for 50 domains and 50,000 requests. Risk intelligence, smart difficulty scaling and dedicated EU-only data centres are features of that top tier; the default service runs across data centres in the EU, the US and Asia. A free plan exists for non-commercial sites at 1,000 requests a month.
