2Captcha vs Anti-Captcha: price per 1,000 solves

What each charges, on the challenges both price

Widest disagreement first. Each price carries the service’s own label, kept word for word, because two rows naming the same challenge are not always the same work: a score band, a grid variant or an invisible version can carry its own rate.

Variant-specific conditions appear where collected. An absent condition remains unknown; required external proxy traffic costs are separate from solve rates.

Every figure is a price per 1,000 solves taken from the service’s own rate card, oldest read 3 Oct 2026. The widest gap is reCAPTCHA Enterprise, where the two are about 5.0 times apart. 2Captcha is lower on 7 of 12. A cheaper rate that clears fewer challenges costs more per page you keep, and neither publishes a success figure you could check that against.

Who does the solving

Behind a solving API is a model, a person, or a model that hands the hard ones to a person. It changes what you are buying and it is the question fewest services answer.

• 2Captcha

  Solved by a model with people behind it, in its own words. It publishes what it pays the solver: $0.14 - $0.6 per 1000, read 5 Sept 2026. Its cheapest published rate to a buyer is $0.5 per 1,000. Both figures come from its own pages and nothing is calculated between them: the wage names no challenge type and every buyer price names one.

• Anti-Captcha

  Solved by people, in its own words. It publishes no figure for what a solver is paid.

How much each one covers

2Captcha publishes a price for 40 challenge types and Anti-Captcha for 12, read 3 Oct 2026. The 12 above are the ones both price. Breadth matters when your targets change: a service that does not price the challenge you hit next is not cheaper, it is unavailable. Every rate, by service and by challenge sets both against the other eight.

Common questions

Is 2Captcha cheaper than Anti-Captcha?

On 3 Oct 2026, across the 12 challenges both price, 2Captcha publishes the lower rate on 7 of them and Anti-Captcha on 4. Cheapest published is not cheapest in use: nothing here measures whether either clears the challenge it charges for.

Who actually solves the captcha at 2Captcha and Anti-Captcha?

2Captcha says a model with people behind it and Anti-Captcha says people. Where a service states nothing, that is a gap in what it publishes rather than evidence either way.

Which covers more challenge types?

2Captcha publishes a price for 40 challenge types and Anti-Captcha for 12. This page compares only the 12 both price, because a rate one of them does not publish cannot be compared against anything.
