Image CAPTCHAs are still everywhere, on sign-up pages to checkout flows. CapSkip solves a huge range of image CAPTCHA types locally, typically almost instantly. This throughput adds up the moment you handle large numbers of challenges.
A major advantages of running on your own hardware is price. Most services bill per solve, so your costs rise the moment throughput increases. CapSkip uses fixed pricing and uncapped solves, so scaling without watching the meter.
