Procaptcha

Key features

• Drop-in replacement for reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha The verification response keeps the same shape as the incumbents, so existing server-side code carries over with a URL change rather than a rewrite.[1][2]

• Frictionless invisible passes Genuine visitors clear the check on behavioural signals with nothing beyond the page interaction, solved in the background well inside a second on an ordinary device.[1]

• Slider-puzzle fallback Suspected bots get a drag-the-piece challenge instead of an outright block, keeping conversion paths open while stopping automation.[1]

• GDPR-compliant and cookieless by default No third-party tracking cookies means no entry on the site consent banner under the ePrivacy Directive, which is the core of its privacy positioning.[1]

• Self-hosted open-source packages The Apache-2.0 monorepo ships a step-by-step self-hosting guide with Docker Compose, so operators can run verification on their own infrastructure.[1]

• Managed cloud with a free tier Basic covers 10,000 requests per month with no card required, while Professional adds risk scores and detection controls with a 30-day trial and Enterprise removes the caps.[1]

• Broad stack integrations A WordPress plugin covers common form builders, with documented React, Vue, and Angular integrations plus Cloudflare Workers and AWS Lambda@Edge edge protection.[1][2]

• Paid-tier detection controls Professional adds bot risk scores with decision details, device and context-aware detection, IP reputation rules, spam email protection, and agent-trust handling; Enterprise adds audit logs, an admin API, team access, and a custom SLA.[1]

Who will love it

• The same-shape verification response keeps the migration to a URL change, and the product page speaks directly to repricing-driven moves off reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha.[1][2]

• Cookieless-by-default operation without a consent-banner entry suits sites where tracking-based checks create compliance work.[1]

• The plugin plus Cloudflare Workers and Lambda@Edge coverage fit teams that protect forms and edge traffic rather than running a custom backend.[1][2]

Who should avoid it

• The Enterprise plan lists multi-user team access but no SSO statement, so identity-conscious buyers should confirm support before committing.[1]

• Every documented flow verifies against a server or cloud endpoint, and no offline mode is documented.[1][2]

• Professional and Enterprise costs are usage-shaped rather than fixed per-seat figures in the researched snapshot, so budget-led buyers need the live pricing page or a sales conversation.[1]
