VERDICT

Should I use 9kw.eu - Captcha Service?

Home - 9kw.eu

Depends. Buy it if you run JDownloader, pyLoad, or similar hobbyist download tools and want cheap or free captcha solving via a human community. Skip it for business-scale automation: solving speed depends on ~13 users being online, and bigger solvers are faster and more reliable.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~15 public sources; several search results were irrelevant (9kW heaters/solar), so confidence is medium.
