Best CAPTCHA Solving Services in 2026: 10 Tools Compared

We compared 10 CAPTCHA-solving services based on which CAPTCHA types each one supports, whether it solves CAPTCHAs via AI or human workers, and how it prices.

We also stress-tested the four integrated unblockers (Bright Data, Decodo, Oxylabs, Zyte) against the real-world target, Cloudflare’s Under Attack mode.

Quick comparison of CAPTCHA solving services

CAPTCHA solver benchmark results

To see how the integrated unblockers hold up against the hardest case, we routed 100 requests through each of the four unblockers (Bright Data, Decodo, Oxylabs, Zyte) against a target running Cloudflare’s “Under Attack” mode, which forces an interactive Turnstile challenge on every request. Full setup in the methodology.

Against top-tier anti-bot protection, the leading browser-based unblockers are roughly interchangeable on raw success rate. Your decision should therefore come down to CAPTCHA type coverage and pricing.

10 best CAPTCHA solving services

Bright Data

Bright Data Web Unlocker is an all-in-one solution integrated with their proxy network. We manually identified two web domains where we, as human users, needed to solve CAPTCHA. After enabling the CAPTCHA solver in the web unblocker, we received successful responses from 20 URLs across these two domains.

Types of CAPTCHA: They handle various CAPTCHA types, including:

• reCAPTCHA v2 and v3
• hCAPTCHA
• Image-based CAPTCHAs
• Text-based CAPTCHAs

Pricing:

• Pay-as-you-go: $1.5 per 1000 results
• Starting price (Pay-per-solve): $500 /month(2.30 per 1,000 API calls)

2Captcha

While 2Captcha supports multiple APIs, it is particularly popular for Python implementations. Historically, 2Captcha was built on a vast network of human solvers. They solve CAPTCHA, and their solutions are then returned to the client. This method ensures high accuracy, particularly for unusual image-based CAPTCHA that AI might struggle with.

2Captcha has invested in AI and machine learning to handle modern challenges, such as reCAPTCHA v2/v3 and hCAPTCHA, by generating tokens through browser environment emulation and behavioral analysis.

The provider also offers proxies for general web scraping and a CAPTCHA-solving service. 2Captcha offers Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extensions for bypassing captchas.

Supported CAPTCHA types:

• Image CAPTCHA: Text-based, arithmetic, distorted, rotated, click-on-images, etc. (solved by humans).
• reCAPTCHA: v2 (checkbox, invisible), v3 (action-based), Enterprise (AI-driven token generation).
• hCAPTCHA: AI-driven token generation.
• FunCaptcha (Arkose Labs): Often a hybrid approach, or AI for specific variants.
• Cloudflare Turnstile: Newer support, AI-driven.
• GeeTest: Supported.

Pricing:

• 2Captcha charges per 1000 solved CAPTCHA.
• Image CAPTCHA: Starts around $0.50-1.00 per 1000.
• reCAPTCHA v2/hCAPTCHA: Often around $2.99 per 1000.
• reCAPTCHA v3/Enterprise: Can be higher, $5.00+ per 1000

YesCaptcha

YesCaptcha combines a network of human solvers with advanced AI algorithms. Human solvers handle complex visual tasks, while AI is deployed to deliver faster, more scalable solutions for specific CAPTCHA challenges. CAPTCHA is intelligently routed to the most appropriate solver type (human or AI) based on its characteristics.

Supported CAPTCHA types:

• Image CAPTCHA: Standard, distorted, custom variations (human-solved).
• reCAPTCHA: v2 (checkbox, invisible), v3 (token generation).
• hCAPTCHA: (Token generation).
• FunCaptcha (Arkose Labs): (Supported, often a hybrid approach).
• Cloudflare Challenges: (Can provide solutions for various Cloudflare protection mechanisms).
• GeeTest, DataDome: (Supported).

Pricing:

• Charges per 1000 solved CAPTCHA.
• Image CAPTCHA: Can be as low as $0.50-0.80 per 1000.
• reCAPTCHA v2/hCAPTCHA: Often around $2.00-2.50 per 1000.

Oxylabs

Oxylabs does not offer a dedicated CAPTCHA API; instead, it provides a unblocking browser that handles CAPTCHAs as part of its request pipeline.

Its Unblocker uses machine learning to simulate real user behavior, including header management and proxy rotation. Because the solver is integrated, users don’t need to manage separate CAPTCHA credits.

Supported CAPTCHA: 

Since it is an unblocker, it handles challenges “under the hood.” It is highly effective against Cloudflare Turnstile, hCaptcha Enterprise, and reCAPTCHA v2/v3.

Pricing:

• Subscription: Starts at $45/month for enterprise-grade features, including 8 GB.

Decodo

Decodo is a high-performance specialist in the unblocking space, delivering strong results in our internal benchmarks. The provider focuses on high-difficulty targets. Our benchmark results showed a 67% success rate against Cloudflare’s “Under Attack” mode, placing it among the top tier of unblocking solutions.

Supported CAPTCHA:

Integrated bypass for Cloudflare Turnstile and advanced browser-based challenges.

Pricing:

• Starter: $10/month for 1 GB

Zyte

Zyte offers an all-in-one API that enables “Clean HTML” delivery by automatically bypassing blocks.

Zyte’s approach is automatic bypass. You send a URL to the Zyte API, and their system decides the best way to bypass the CAPTCHA.

Supported CAPTCHA: 

It is particularly strong at solving transparent challenges and per-request blocks without requiring manual site-key extraction.

Pricing:

• Pay-as-you-go:
  • HTTP Response: $0.13 – $1.27 per 1,000 responses.
  • Browser Rendered: $1.01 – $16.08 per 1,000 responses (Necessary for most modern CAPTCHA challenges).
• Monthly commitments: $100. Reduces costs to $0.10 (HTTP) or $0.75 (Browser) per 1k.

Anti-CAPTCHA

Anti-CAPTCHA is one of the older and well-established CAPTCHA-solving services. Their solving method is primarily human-powered. They also leverage machine learning for pre-processing and routing, especially for reCAPTCHA and hCAPTCHA. Anti-CAPTCHA offers browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Supported CAPTCHA Types:

• Image CAPTCHA: Strong for all varieties of text, arithmetic, geometric, and rotated image CAPTCHA.
• reCAPTCHA: v2 (checkbox, invisible), v3 (score-based token).
• hCAPTCHA: Token generation.
• FunCaptcha: Supported.
• KeyCAPTCHA, DLE Captcha, and many custom image CAPTCHAs.

Pricing:

• Charges per 1000 solved CAPTCHA.
• Prices vary by CAPTCHA type, with image CAPTCHA typically being cheaper than reCAPTCHA or hCAPTCHA. They often have volume discounts. For instance, reCAPTCHA v2 might cost around $2.99 per 1000, while a basic image CAPTCHA could be lower.

CapSolver

CapSolver is an AI-first CAPTCHA-solving service that simulates realistic user behavior in a browser environment to generate valid tokens that pass the challenge, including mouse movements, clicks, and timing.

Supported CAPTCHA types:

• reCAPTCHA: v2, v3, and enterprise (often considered their specialty).
• hCAPTCHA: (A key focus, providing fast token solutions).
• FunCaptcha (Arkose Labs): (Strong support for these complex interactive CAPTCHAs).
• Cloudflare Turnstile: (Excellent support).
• GeeTest: (Supported).
• Image CAPTCHA: While not their primary focus, they do offer AI-based OCR for simple image CAPTCHA.

Pricing:

• Charges per 1000 solved CAPTCHA.
• reCAPTCHA v2/hCAPTCHA: Often around $2.00-3.00 per 1000
• reCAPTCHA v3/Enterprise/FunCaptcha/Turnstile: Can be higher, often $5.00-10.00 per 1000

CAP Monster Cloud

CAP Monster Cloud is fundamentally different from the other CAPTCHA solver APIs. It’s not an external service you send CAPTCHA to for their workers/AI to solve. Instead, it’s a software solution. You need to set up your own local or private cloud CAPTCHA solving engine, providing maximum control, privacy, and potentially lower long-term costs.

The user configures the solving engine. It uses AI and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) modules to recognize and solve CAPTCHAs. The solving method is dependent on how you train and configure it.

Supported CAPTCHA types:

• Image CAPTCHA: Pattern-based image CAPTCHA, once trained (e.g., text, arithmetic, simple distortions). Can struggle with highly complex, random, or interactive image CAPTCHAs without significant custom training.
• reCAPTCHA v2/v3, hCAPTCHA: It has built-in modules to simulate solving these by generating tokens, but this requires significant local resources (browser instances) and configuration.
• Act as a proxy: It can be configured to act as an API endpoint and, if it can’t solve a CAPTCHA, forward it to an external service (like 2Captcha).

Pricing:

You typically buy a software license, not pay per solve. For high volumes of specific, consistent CAPTCHAs, it can be significantly cheaper than external services in the long run.

DeathByCaptcha

DeathByCaptcha uses a hybrid approach combining OCR (AI) and human workers to bypass CAPTCHAs. It is one of the best choices for a custom image CAPTCHA.

The vendor also offers CAPTCHA solver extensions for Chrome and Firefox.

Supported CAPTCHA:

• reCAPTCHA v2 / v3
• hCaptcha & FunCaptcha
• Classic Text & Image CAPTCHA (Solved by humans)

Pricing:

• Starting price: $0.99 – $2.00 / 1,000 solves.

What is a CAPTCHA Solver?

A CAPTCHA solver is an automated tool or service that recognizes and solves CAPTCHA challenges such as reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, or Cloudflare Turnstile. In web scraping, it lets automated processes pass security measures that are designed to stop bots and normally require human input.

Solving modern challenges: hCaptcha Enterprise & Cloudflare Turnstile

As adoption of hCaptcha and Turnstile grows, the trend is shifting toward integrated unblockers. Rather than solving a CAPTCHA after it appears, services like Decodo and Zyte emulate browser integrity so the challenge is never triggered in the first place, which our stress test above supports for Cloudflare’s hardest mode.

CAPTCHA solver benchmark methodology

This benchmark is part of our web unblocker benchmark, designed to evaluate the capabilities of leading web data vendors against strict anti-bot techniques. For this specific dataset, we isolated the vendors’ ability to solve Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA under the most aggressive security configurations available.

1. Participant selection

We focused on the largest market leaders by employee count (>100 employees) and product scope. We tested their unblocker, a specialized tool that automatically handles CAPTCHAs and browser fingerprints.

The specific products configured for this test were:

• Bright Data: Web Unlocker
• Decodo: Site Unblocker
• Oxylabs: Web Unblocker
• Zyte: API (configured in proxy mode)

2. Lab test environment

The tests were conducted on a controlled endpoint hosted on aimultiple.com. To ensure the results reflected a “worst-case” scenario for data extraction, we utilized Cloudflare’s enterprise-grade anti-bot protection with the following configurations:

• Security Level: High
• Features Enabled: Browser integrity check
• Challenge Mode: “Under Attack Mode” (UA Mode)

3. The challenge mechanism

In standard configurations, Cloudflare may only show CAPTCHA to suspicious traffic. However, enabling “Under Attack Mode” forced an interactive challenge (Cloudflare Turnstile) on every request.

4. Success metrics

We routed 100 distinct requests through each vendor’s network to the target endpoint.

• Success: A request was recorded as successful only if the vendor solved the Turnstile challenge and the target server returned an OK status code.
• Failure: Any request resulting in a forbidden error, a timeout, or an unresolved CAPTCHA loop was recorded as a failure.
