Captcha

Captcha is a captcha service from Austria. It uses a proof of work challenge that the browser solves on its own, so visitors are not asked to click images or read distorted text. Integrations are available for WordPress, Joomla and Keycloak. The company is a subsidiary of Mediaprint, a large Austrian magazine publisher.

A custom endpoint is available that runs on Mediaprint's own servers in Austria, while the default endpoint sits behind Akamai's CDN. For sites looking for a European alternative to Google reCAPTCHA, the Austrian endpoint keeps visitor requests inside the EU. It suits forms and logins that need spam protection without friction.

Pricing

Pricing starts at 8.90 euro per month billed monthly, covering 1,000 requests per month on one website.
