Volume rate for heavy, sustained traffic.
hCaptcha decides how many rounds to throw at a request: sometimes 1, sometimes 3. We bill exactly that. Other services charge a flat 10 credits whether the challenge was easy or hard. The difference adds up.
Drag the slider. We assume a typical hCaptcha throws ~1.7 rounds on average (real proxies see lower, throwaway IPs see more).
Sign up, get an API key, ship the integration. Top up when you're ready, and pay only for the rounds hCaptcha actually threw at you.
