Bot Protection

Protect your websites and apps from spam and abuse with a privacy-compliant and accessible alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs. Friendly Captcha respects your user’s privacy and works automatically, so your users don’t have to do anything.

The accessible, privacy-compliant CAPTCHA alternative

Based on proof-of-work mechanisms and advanced risk signals, Friendly Captcha employs a fundamentally new approach to securely defend your websites and online services from bots and spam.

Friendly Captcha doesn’t track your users. It is compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and global privacy regulations. Plus, your users no longer have to deal with tedious labeling tasks. They don’t have to do anything at all.

Truly invisible CAPTCHA challenge

Friendly Captcha is the first truly invisible CAPTCHA based on proof-of-work. Instead of prompting any visible challenge to the end user, it checks the end user’s device in the background.
