CapSolver is an automated CAPTCHA-solving service built for web scraping, data collection, QA testing and RPA pipelines. It solves reCAPTCHA v2/v3/Enterprise, Cloudflare Turnstile, AWS WAF, GeeTest and plain image challenges, returning a token or answer over a REST API with SDKs for Python and Node.js, or through a Chrome and Firefox extension that detects and solves challenges in the browser automatically. It plugs into Selenium, Playwright, Puppeteer and n8n for teams that already run browser automation. Pricing is pay-per-solve rather than a subscription, with volume packages available at a discount. The company name on the site is CapSolver; no headquarters country is published.

Pros & cons of CapSolver
CapSolver covers most of the CAPTCHA types a scraping pipeline will hit, and the extension means you don't have to touch the API at all for simple browser automation. It sits in a legally gray area since bypassing CAPTCHAs conflicts with many sites' terms of service, and per-solve pricing across many CAPTCHA types makes the total bill hard to predict without testing your own traffic mix.
Pros
- Covers reCAPTCHA, Turnstile, AWS WAF and GeeTest under one API
- Browser extension solves challenges automatically without API code
- Sub-10-second response times claimed across supported CAPTCHA types
Cons
- Pricing varies by CAPTCHA type, so cost per job is hard to estimate upfront
- No company location or team information published on the site
- Using it against a site's anti-bot measures can breach that site's terms of service
Best for
- Scraping and QA teams already using Selenium, Playwright or Puppeteer
- n8n or RPA workflows that hit CAPTCHA walls on target sites
Not for
- Anyone needing a guarantee their automation won't violate a target site's terms of service
- Low-volume users who don't want to manage a prepaid balance
Watch out: Solving a site's CAPTCHA to automate access likely violates that site's own terms of service, independent of what CapSolver itself allows.
