Privacy focused captcha from Ukraine
UkraineOpen source Ownership reviewed, controller unresolvedScope verdict
This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.
Swetrix CAPTCHA is a captcha service from the Ukrainian web analytics company Swetrix. It keeps bots away from forms and sign ups, is open source, and lives in the same management panel as the web analytics product, so one account covers both.
The service follows the same privacy stance as the analytics tool and is run from Ukraine rather than the EU, making it a European alternative to the US captcha services most sites use by default. It suits site owners who already use Swetrix or who want to keep visitor data away from a large US provider.
Pricing starts at EUR 5 per month for 10,000 interactions or page views, with one captcha interaction counted like one page visit in the web analytics service.
Data and operations
Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.
Public website
Why this matters
Public DNS routes website visits through Cloudflare. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.
Incoming business email
Why this matters
Published MX records route incoming business email through Fastmail. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.
