01how billing works

Priced by the work. Zero when it fails.

hCaptcha may throw one round or eight. A solve costs 10 credits plus 4 for every round after the first, never more than 40 — and nothing at all when no token lands. An easy challenge genuinely costs less than a hard one, and a miss never touches the balance.

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

Spend as fast as your concurrency limit allows. We will not throttle you because today was a busy day.

03

Charged on success only

Credits come off your balance when a token is returned. Failures, timeouts and cancellations are never charged.

04

Bring your own keys

As many API keys as you like, each with its own spend limit, so one leaked key cannot drain the balance.

05

Real P1_ tokens

The value hCaptcha itself issues, dropped straight into the form field. Not a bypass.

06

Sync or async

Block for a result with wait=, or submit and poll. Same price either way.

07

No monthly fee

No seats, no platform fee, no minimum. Zero credits costs zero.

08

Per-key spend limits

Cap what any one key can spend, so a runaway job stops at a number you chose.

03what it costs you

Estimate your monthly bill.

Drag the slider. This assumes 22 credits a solve, which is what our own traffic averages — an easy sitekey comes in under, a hard one over.

04questions

Frequently asked.

Is there a free trial?
Yes. New accounts get 1,400 credits on signup — about 63 typical solves. No card, no clock. Top up when you are ready.
What exactly is a credit?
A unit of prepaid balance. A successful solve costs 10 credits plus 4 for each round after the first, capped at 40. A typical solve lands around 22. Larger packs cost less per thousand credits.
Why price by rounds?
Because a round is work your target demanded. hCaptcha decides how many grids to throw at a request, and an eight-round challenge costs us several times what a one-round challenge costs — charging both the same means easy sitekeys subsidise hard ones. What you are never charged for is our side of it: queue time, GPU time, or a retry after our own model got a grid wrong. That is what the 40-credit cap is for.
Do credits expire?
No. They sit on the balance until they are spent. No monthly clock, nothing swept.
What happens if a solve fails?
Nothing comes off your balance. Credits are posted on success only, so failures, timeouts and cancellations are free.
Do I pay for retries?
A retried round inside one solve is part of that solve. A solve that never returns a token is never charged at all. A solved one is always 22 credits, retries included.
Is there a daily or monthly cap?
No cap on spend. Each key has a requests-per-minute and concurrency ceiling to protect the fleet, both shown on the dashboard, and you can set your own per-key credit limit on top.
How do I pay?
Choose a pack on the Billing screen and it opens an invoice. Card payments are not connected on this deployment — an operator settles the invoice and the credits land on your balance. Nothing about the pricing changes either way.
