In case it isn’t clear from our website, hCaptcha offers both bot prevention and traffic monetization options. Cloudflare does not use our service for traffic monetization, so neither company has an incentive to make it difficult for humans to pass the captcha.
Websites that use hCaptcha for monetization can adjust difficulty settings and the types of data labeling jobs their users will see. The value hCaptcha derives from human data labeling is provided broadly as a service to other companies, not just to provide training data for our own autonomous vehicle division. Since we are growing capacity like crazy and have a broad footprint of sites primarily interested in bot prevention and not traffic monetization, hCaptcha can offer the lowest cost data labeling to everyone. hCaptcha is also privacy-focused and doesn’t track you around the internet to show you advertisements. We support the privacy-pass extension and have an accessibility option which sends you to a cookie via email (because we can’t just cookie you when you log into our email service).
