Don't take our word for it
Try the real thing
This is the live service, not a picture. Tick the box: your browser does the work, then the reply below is exactly what your server would get back.
- No account needed to try it
- No cookies are set
- Look automated and you'll get a puzzle
{
"success": …
}
tick the box…
Fair is fair
When another CAPTCHA may suit you better
reCAPTCHA Enterprise
If your team lives in Google Cloud and wants Google's wider fraud tools in one console. For a form on its own, it's a lot of setup and a bill that grows with every check.
AWS WAF CAPTCHA
If your traffic already goes through AWS WAF rules and you want the puzzle decided at the firewall. It isn't a widget you drop into a form.
Friendly Captcha
If you need EU-only hosting written into a contract. Like Verify it uses proof-of-work, but its free plan is for non-commercial projects, up to 1,000 requests.
Switching
Moving over takes minutes
Swap the script and the box for ours, keep your form. Your server still reads g-recaptcha-response; change the verify address and the secret.
Keep the h-captcha box and its fields. Change the script, the site key, the verify address and the secret. The reply has the same fields.
Replace the box with ours and send fmk-captcha-response to our verify address with your secret. The docs show it in seven languages.

Why Verify
What you get that the others don't put together
One tick for people, real cost for bots
Most visitors tick one box while their browser does a small proof-of-work in the background. Only visitors who look automated get a picture puzzle, and you choose the style: slide, rotate, tap, picture grid or a mix, drawn fresh every time.
Already on reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha? Keep your code
The widget reads hCaptcha and reCAPTCHA markup, fills the same response fields and answers siteverify in the same shape. Switching means a new script address, new keys and a new verify address, nothing else.
A score with every check
Your server gets a score from 0 to 1 and the action name, like reCAPTCHA v3, on the free plan too. Or use score-only mode and never show a box at all.
Built for India, open to everyone
Servers in India, the widget in 35 languages including 12 Indian ones, and plans in rupees by UPI with a GST invoice, or in US dollars by PayPal or card. No cookies and no advertising profile.
Which CAPTCHA is best?
For most sign-up, login and contact forms: one that people barely notice, that bots pay for, and that doesn't cost more as you grow. That's what Verify is built for. If you're already behind Cloudflare and only need pass or fail, Turnstile is a good free choice too.
Is Verify really free?
Yes, up to 10,000 checks a month on 1 website, with a small “Protected by FitMyKB” link. Starter is ₹99 (US$2.99) a month on launch offer, for 250,000.
Where do the other prices come from?
Each company's own pricing page or documentation, checked on the date shown under the table. Where a company doesn't publish a number, the table says so instead of guessing. Prices change: please check them before you decide.
Do I need to change my server code?
From reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha, only the verify address and the secret. The request and the reply have the same fields.
Can I try it before I sign up?
Yes: the live box on this page uses the real service, and the reply under it is what your server would get.

Protect your first form in five minutes
Free up to 10,000 checks a month on 1 website, to try it properly. Going over never breaks your forms.
