About

Cloudflare Turnstile is a user-friendly CAPTCHA alternative that verifies human visitors without requiring them to solve interactive puzzles or identify objects.

It works by running invisible background tests such as proof-of-work calculations and checks for browser quirks to analyze the visitor's environment and behavior, supports Private Access Tokens (PATs) to validate devices without tracking, and offers a free API.

Friendly Captcha is a European captcha service that protects websites from bots and automated abuse while prioritizing user privacy, security, and accessibility.

It uses a proof-of-work approach that runs in the background without image challenges or tracking cookies, complies with GDPR by avoiding personal data collection, works without user interaction in most cases, and supports WCAG accessibility requirements.
