Gotchas - check before you buy

high

CAPTCHA solver services openly bypass it — treat as friction, not a hard wall

medium

Free tier caps at 10,000 verifications/month; check paid overage rates before launch

medium

WordPress integration previously broke other plugins' scripts (Mailchimp fix)

medium

Very small company; plan an exit path if it shuts down

Open-source GDPR CAPTCHA, free to 10k/mo. Great for devs & WordPress; too small a vendor for enterprise bot defense.
