It’s time to rethink security. Leave CAPTCHA behind and switch to an intelligent, frictionless defense.

CAPTCHA is no longer the security solution it once was. Instead of protecting businesses, it’s causing them to lose customers, sales, and trust — while doing little to stop AI-driven attacks.

— Lower costs — eliminating false positives and ongoing CAPTCHA maintenance expenses

— Higher conversion rates — up to 15% more successful transactions by reducing friction in user experience

— Stronger security — with precise, adaptive filtering that detects bots in real-time

Rather than relying on outdated security measures, advanced traffic filtering provides a better, seamless alternative.

What can businesses do instead?

And what’s more, CAPTCHA is useless when securing mobile app APIs as they can't display it.

— It alienates genuine users — people with disabilities, older users, or those on mobile devices often struggle with CAPTCHA more than bots do

— It slows transactions — in fast-paced industries like e-commerce, banking, and telecommunications, even a small delay leads to cart abandonment or customer drop-off

— It’s frustrating — users fail CAPTCHA challenges due to difficult image recognition or time-consuming verifications

According to Forrester, 19% of users abandon websites because of CAPTCHA.

CAPTCHA is hurting your user experience

This means that attackers can break through these security measures almost effortlessly, while legitimate users struggle and abandon their sessions.

Meanwhile, CAPTCHA-solving services are widely available — offering 1,000 solved CAPTCHAs for as little as $2.

Studies show that modern AI can solve CAPTCHAs 6 times faster than humans, including even the most sophisticated variations.

Bots have evolved. What once served as a basic security check is now easily bypassed by AI.

The AI era: CAPTCHA is failing

Roughly 35,000 companies across telecommunications, finance & banking, and retail still use CAPTCHA as a security measure. These industries depend on seamless UX and service availability, yet many fail to realize that CAPTCHA may be doing more harm than good.
