[ 04 ]How billing actually works
How billing actually works
Billed per successful solve
A task that times out, fails, or returns a token the target rejects is credited back to your balance within the hour, automatically.
No minimum, no expiry
Top up what you want, when you want. Balance does not expire and there is no monthly floor to hit.
reCAPTCHA v3 is priced by score
You pay for the score band you asked for. If we return a token below it, that solve is not billed.
Hard Arkose keys are quoted per key
Rather than hiding a $2 to $50 range behind one line, each difficult public key is listed with its own rate.

[ 06 ]FAQ
The questions we actually get asked.
Per successful solve. A task that times out, fails, or returns a token the target rejects is refunded to your balance automatically within the hour. You are never charged for a captcha we did not actually solve.
Yes. Our REST API accepts the same task payload shapes as both services. In most cases you change the base URL to api.nexcaptcha.net and swap the API key, and your existing client library keeps working unchanged.
Each challenge type has a dedicated worker pool and model that we retrain continuously against live traffic. When a provider ships a change, success rate is the first thing our on-call sees, and the pool is updated without any action from you.
Yes. reCAPTCHA v3 tasks are guaranteed to return a token scoring 0.7 or above, or they are not billed. You can request a specific minimum score per task if your target is stricter.
The default ceiling is 50,000 requests per minute per key, which is far above what most workloads need. If you expect to exceed it, tell us your target throughput and we will raise the limit before you hit it rather than after.
Accessibility automation, QA and load testing of systems you own, security research, and automation you are authorised to perform. You remain responsible for complying with the terms of service of any site you access. We suspend keys used for fraud, credential stuffing or spam.
