At its core, a CAPTCHA solver reads a challenge and returns the answer a site is looking for, so an automated script can keep going. The difference with CapSkip is everything happens locally - no challenge data leaves your hardware, and there are no per-CAPTCHA charges. This mix of control and predictable cost turns out to be a real advantage for serious automation.

Cloudflare performs quiet checks which aim to separate people from automation and skip the usual puzzles. Clearing those reliably calls for a purpose-built solver, and CapSkip handles it on your machine.
