Image CAPTCHAs remain everywhere, from sign-up pages to checkout flows. CapSkip recognizes thousands of image CAPTCHA variants on your own hardware, typically almost instantly. That kind of throughput matters the moment you handle large volumes.
Varying headers and request fingerprints goes a long way to help automation blend in. Combine this with on-machine CAPTCHA solving and your crawler gets a setup that stays steady across extended sessions.
A major advantages of running on your own hardware comes down to price. Traditional services charge per solve, so your bill rise the moment volume increases. CapSkip uses fixed pricing and uncapped solves, so you can scale without watching the meter.
