01how billing works

1 credit = 1 round. The way it should be.

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.

02included on every plan

Everything's in. Nothing's gated.

01
Credits never expire
Top up once, use them whenever. No 30-day clock, no 'use it or lose it'.
02
No daily caps
Burst as hard as your concurrency limit allows. We won't throttle you because today was a busy day.
03
Charge on success only
Failed solves are auto-refunded, usually within seconds. Timeouts and bad responses don't count.
04
Bring your own proxy
Use the residential pool you already trust. Better proxies → fewer rounds → cheaper for you.
05
Retries are on us
If our model answers wrong and hCaptcha re-challenges, that round is on the house. Not on your tab.
06
Real P1_ tokens
Returned tokens are full-fidelity hCaptcha responses: drop them straight into the form field.
07
Sync or async
Block on /v1/solve for under-10s replies, or queue with a webhook callback for batch workloads.
08
No monthly fee
No seats, no platform tax, no minimums. Just credits. You're not on the hook when you're not solving.
03what it costs you

Estimate your monthly bill.

Drag the slider. We assume a typical hCaptcha throws ~1.7 rounds on average (real proxies see lower, throwaway IPs see more).

04questions

Frequently asked.

What exactly is a 'credit'? +
1 credit = 1 hCaptcha challenge round. hCaptcha decides how many rounds to issue before it mints a token. An easy solve might be 1 round (1 credit); a harder one with image challenges might be 2 or 3 rounds (2 or 3 credits). You only ever pay for what hCaptcha actually demanded.
Why not just charge per captcha? +
Because captchas aren't uniform. A flat per-captcha price means you overpay for easy ones to subsidise the hard ones. Per-round billing is honest: customers with good residential proxies get fewer rounds and pay less. Incentives are aligned by design.
Do credits expire? +
No. Buy a pack, use it whenever: next week, next month, next year. No clock, no expiry, no "use it or lose it." The credits you bought are yours until you spend them.
Is there a daily or monthly cap? +
No daily caps. The only ceiling is your concurrency limit (5 / 25 / 100 depending on plan). Inside that, burst as hard as you need.
What happens if a solve fails? +
Auto-refunded, usually within seconds. If hCaptcha rejects our token, our model whiffs, or the worker times out, those credits go straight back to your balance. You only pay for successful solves.
Do I pay for retries? +
No. If our model answers a round wrong and hCaptcha re-challenges, that re-challenge round is on us. We only bill rounds where we passed the previous step honestly.
Can I bring my own proxy? +
Yes, and you should. Customer-supplied residential proxies see noticeably fewer rounds per solve than shared pools. Pass proxy credentials in the /v1/solve request body. Bringing your own makes your bill smaller.
How do I pay? +
Card or crypto, one-time per pack. No subscription, no auto-renewal: when your balance runs low, you top up again. Invoice / wire for accounts over $500/month, talk to us.
