VERDICT

Should I use NopeCHA?

AI CAPTCHA solver for reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha and more, via browser extension or API - nopecha.com

Depends. Fine as a free or ~$1/month helper for occasional personal CAPTCHA solving. Skip it if you need the paid tier to work reliably or you specifically need hCaptcha, which is discontinued.
