Pro Features

Introduction​

hCaptcha Pro adds several unique features:

  • 99.9% Passive mode, where ML-driven dynamic challenges minimize real user friction
  • Custom themes that allow you to fully customize the color scheme of both the checkbox and challenge modals
  • More detailed analytics

99.9% Passive mode​

This is the default mode for newly created Pro sitekeys. No configuration is required to enable it unless you are upgrading from a Basic plan, in which case you can visit your sitekey in the dashboard and set its Behavior to 99.9% Passive.

"99.9% Passive" mode will selectively challenge users based on an evaluation derived from thousands of factors.

The system attempts to minimize challenges to real people to less than 0.1% of users, while still increasing the costs of an attack in virtually all cases.

Whether a visual challenge is presented or not, many other security controls arestill operating on every request to make attempts to bypass it more costly, including advanced dynamic proofs of work.

Note that 99.9% Passive mode is describing the behavior of the evaluation, whether it comes from a user clicking on the checkbox, binding to your Submit button using e.g. react-hcaptcha, or you calling hcaptcha.execute() programmatically.

If you would like the appearance of the checkbox to be invisible, for example with the evaluation triggered by a user clicking on your button, simply set theme to "invisible". Detailed docs are here.

Custom Themes​

hCaptcha Pro is easily customizable to match your site or app's color scheme.

Simply generate a theme config via our visual theme configurator, then make sure it is passed in at initialization.

Pro Analytics​

Pro analytics include more detail, like breakdowns of challenge behavior over time. This lets you quickly see challenge rates, suspicious spikes, and more.

Rates and Billing​

Free Trial​

Pro has a two week free trial period, with no credit card required. During or after the trial is up, you can continue using it by adding a credit card.

If you opt not to enter a credit card, once your trial is up your account will be downgraded to the free (Basic) tier.

Rates​

Pro costs $99/mo for 100K units per month when billed annually, or $139/mo on a month-to-month basis. Additional requests are billed at $0.99 per 1000 requests.

Billing​

You will receive an email invoice each time you are billed, which will be either annually or monthly depending on the plan you have selected. Overages will be billed immediately after certain thresholds are met.

High Volume Use​

If you are using millions of requests per month, our Enterprise plans include many powerful features like risk scoring, custom threat models, SOC review, and much more.

Volume discounts are also available for committed Enterprise usage, which can make it more cost effective than pay-as-you-go overages on the Pro plan once you are using millions of requests per month. Just contact us with your expected volumes to get a rapid quote.

FAQ​

How does hCaptcha Pro differ from hCaptcha Free?​

hCaptcha Pro offers features like a low friction self-optimizing challenge mode, custom themes, and more. hCaptcha Free is a classic CAPTCHA experience, in which most users will generally be shown a challenge.

How does hCaptcha Pro differ from hCaptcha Enterprise?​

hCaptcha Enterprise is a complete anti-abuse and bot mitigation platform. It is used by many of the largest online services to protect their users from fraud and abuse of all kinds, both human and automated.

Features unique to hCaptcha Enterprise include passive (No-CAPTCHA) modes, risk scores, custom threat models, rich analytics and tagging interfaces, role-based access controls, SAML SSO, strong SLAs, and much more.

When should I choose hCaptcha Pro vs. hCaptcha Enterprise?​

hCaptcha Pro is the right choice when you want a simple tool that you can enable in minutes, letting our system manage configuration.

hCaptcha Enterprise is the right choice when you need not just low friction but sophisticated defenses against account takeovers, advanced persistent threats, API integration, and more.

If your hCaptcha volume is greater than one million evaluations per month then hCaptcha Enterprise can also be more cost-effective, as committed volume discounts are available.

How is hCaptcha Pro billed?​

hCaptcha Pro is billed either annually or monthly for the base subscription, which includes 100,000 evaluations per month. Additional evaluations are billed at $0.99 per 1000 requests, which will be charged to your credit card periodically once the 100,000 evaluation capacity quota is consumed.

The monthly price with an annual subscription discount is $99, or $139 if paid month-to-month.

Annual Billing Example: if your total usage in a given month is 115,000 requests and you have selected annual billing, you will see a single charge for the annual-billed amount when you sign up, and an overage charge for $14.85 in the month you consumed more than 100,000 requests.

Monthly Billing Example: if your total usage in a given month is 115,000 requests and you have selected monthly billing, you will see a charge for the monthly-billed amount when you sign up and on each subsequent month, and an overage charge for $14.85 in the month you consumed more than 100,000 requests.
