2Captcha vs SolveCaptcha: 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 GeeTest, where the two are about 3.7 times apart. SolveCaptcha is lower on 10 of 19. 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.

How much each one covers
