Do CAPTCHAs hurt conversion rates?

Invisible CAPTCHAs (reCAPTCHA v3, Turnstile) have negligible conversion impact. Checkbox CAPTCHAs (reCAPTCHA v2) cost 2 to 5 percent of conversions in exchange for stopping virtually all bot spam.

Is reCAPTCHA still free?

Yes, free for up to 1 million requests per month via Google.

What's the difference between hCaptcha and reCAPTCHA?

Functionally similar, but hCaptcha is privacy-focused (no Google data sharing), pays sites a small reward per solve, and is often preferred by EU-based businesses for GDPR reasons.

Does CAPTCHA work on multi-step forms?

Yes. The CAPTCHA runs on the final submit step, protecting the whole form.

Can I use the same CAPTCHA on multiple forms?

Yes. Configure your CAPTCHA provider account once, paste the site key on each form. One key can protect any number of forms.

Is there a CAPTCHA that doesn't require a third-party account?

Yes. The numeric CAPTCHA (code entry) and math CAPTCHA (add two numbers) are built-in and need zero external setup.

Which plan includes CAPTCHA?

CAPTCHA and spam protection are Scale plan only ($99 lifetime). All 5 options (reCAPTCHA v2/v3, hCaptcha, Turnstile, numeric, math) ship together on Scale. Basic and Pro do not include CAPTCHA.
