The SolveCaptcha Alternative Without Per-Solve Fees
CapSkip is a local, unlimited flat-rate CAPTCHA solver with drop-in SolveCaptcha API emulation: add SolveCaptcha to your hosts file in the CapSkip app and your existing code is solved locally, unchanged.
- Unlimited solving
- Local and private
- 90-100% accuracy
- One flat price
your code unchangedsolved locallySolveCaptcha follows the familiar model: send a challenge to a remote service, pay for every 1,000 that come back. That is fine at low volume and expensive the moment automation scales. If you want a SolveCaptcha alternative that stops the bill tracking your traffic, CapSkip charges one flat monthly price for unlimited high-speed solving and unlimited threads, with no per-solve metering at any volume.
CapSkip is a desktop AI CAPTCHA solver that runs on your own Windows machine or VPS instead of a remote farm. Recognition happens locally, so image CAPTCHAs return in roughly 0.1 seconds, challenge data never leaves your network, and there is no queue between your script and the token. It covers reCAPTCHA v2, v3, Enterprise, Cloudflare Turnstile, GeeTest v3, ALTCHA, CaptchaFox, Capy Puzzle, Friendly Captcha and thousands of image CAPTCHA types at 90-100% accuracy.
Existing SolveCaptcha code does not need rewriting. CapSkip's local HTTP API ships SolveCaptcha API emulation that is drop-in compatible: choose the SolveCaptcha emulator in the CapSkip app, click 'Add to hosts file', and every request is routed to CapSkip and solved locally with no code changes. Start on a $1 seven-day trial, then unlimited from $10/mo on Bronze, plus a $99 one-time lifetime license.
No coding required. Run the CapSkip app and the browser extension connects automatically, then solves CAPTCHAs right in the page. Already using another service? Migrating is easy: CapSkip is a drop-in captcha solver that emulates 2Captcha, RuCaptcha, Anti-Captcha, CapMonster Cloud, CapSolver, DeathByCaptcha, SolveCaptcha and Captchas.io. Add your service to the hosts file in the CapSkip app and your existing code is routed to CapSkip and solved locally, with no changes.

Three ways to replace SolveCaptcha
import time
import requests
# The in.php / res.php calls a SolveCaptcha integration already makes,
# answered by CapSkip on your own machine instead of api.solvecaptcha.com.
CAPSKIP = "http://127.0.0.1:8080"
KEY = "ANY_STRING" # a real key only if you enable validation in CapSkip
task = requests.post(f"{CAPSKIP}/in.php", data={
"key": KEY,
"method": "userrecaptcha",
"googlekey": "YOUR_SITEKEY",
"pageurl": "https://example.com/",
"json": 1,
}).json()
while True:
time.sleep(5)
res = requests.get(f"{CAPSKIP}/res.php", params={
"key": KEY, "action": "get", "id": task["request"], "json": 1,
}).json()
if res["request"] != "CAPCHA_NOT_READY":
print(res["request"]) # the reCAPTCHA token
breakSolveCaptcha's in.php and res.php flow, answered locally by CapSkip. With the hosts-file switch your code keeps calling api.solvecaptcha.com unchanged.
No-code browser extension
Install the CapSkip extension and it detects the widget on any page and solves it for you, with nothing to script.
Official SDKs
Automate solving from your own code with the Python, Node.js, PHP and C# clients. A few lines returns a valid token.
Local HTTP API
Prefer raw HTTP? CapSkip exposes a local endpoint with 2Captcha and Anti-Captcha API emulation, so any HTTP client works.
See it work on a real challenge
We host live, interactive demo pages for every CAPTCHA type. Load the real widget, run CapSkip, and watch the token come back.

SolveCaptcha API emulation in detail
Everything below is answered on your own machine. Nothing is forwarded to SolveCaptcha.
| API family | The 2Captcha v1 format SolveCaptcha uses: in.php to submit, res.php to poll |
|---|---|
| Hostnames the hosts-file switch covers | api.solvecaptcha.com and solvecaptcha.com |
| Local address | http://127.0.0.1:8080 by default; change it under Settings in the app |
| in.php methods answered | Image uploads (post and base64), userrecaptcha, turnstile, geetest, altcha, captchafox, capy and friendly_captcha |
| API key | Any string, unless you turn on API key validation in CapSkip |
| Balance checks | Answered with a stand-in balance, so code that checks funds keeps running |
| Not answered | hCaptcha and FunCaptcha requests, since CapSkip does not solve them |

SolveCaptcha alternatives compared
SolveCaptcha is among the cheapest per-solve services. Here is how it compares with the others that speak the same in.php API, and with CapSkip.
| Service | How it solves | reCAPTCHA v2, per 1,000 | API |
|---|---|---|---|
| CapSkip | On-device AI on your own Windows PC or VPS | Unlimited: $99 once, then from $10/mo | Emulates in.php, createTask and DeathByCaptcha APIs |
| 2Captcha | AI first, human workers for low-confidence tasks | $1 to $2.99 | in.php / res.php, plus JSON createTask (API v2) |
| RuCaptcha | AI first, human workers for low-confidence tasks | 65 to 160 ₽ | in.php / res.php, plus JSON createTask (API v2) |
| CapMonster Cloud | Machine learning only, no human workers | $0.60 | JSON createTask / getTaskResult |
| DeathByCaptcha | AI OCR plus a 24/7 human team | $2.89 | Its own HTTP and socket API |
Prices from each vendor's own price list, checked September 2026. CapSkip does not solve hCaptcha or FunCaptcha.
When SolveCaptcha is still the better fit
CapSkip is not the right tool for every workload. Staying with SolveCaptcha makes sense if one of these is true.
Your volume is small
At $0.55 per 1,000 reCAPTCHA v2, SolveCaptcha stays cheaper than CapSkip Bronze ($10 a month) below roughly 18,200 solves a month. If that is you, per-solve billing wins on cost.
You need hCaptcha or FunCaptcha
CapSkip does not solve hCaptcha or FunCaptcha (Arkose Labs). If your targets use them, check what SolveCaptcha currently supports before you move.

How to switch from SolveCaptcha to CapSkip
Switching off SolveCaptcha takes no code changes. In the CapSkip app, set the service emulator to SolveCaptcha and click 'Add to hosts file'. Every request your code sends to SolveCaptcha is then routed to CapSkip and solved on your own machine, so your existing submit-and-poll integration keeps running exactly as written, only now unlimited, private and flat-rate. Prefer no code? The free CapSkip browser extension for Chrome and Firefox connects to the running app by itself and solves widgets in the page. Building something new? The CapSkip Python SDK (pip install capskip) solves any CAPTCHA in a few lines, with Node.js, PHP and .NET SDKs alongside it.
