    And yet, only €376.3/month on patreon.


    Also, I keep wondering why Anubis got so popular while other proof of work captchas have been around for much longer. Is there any fundamental difference to mCaptcha or altcha?

    (except for maybe that altcha is trying to make a business by serving customers that don’t want to selfhost it).

    Any technical reason for prefering anubis?

      It’s the anime girl obviously.

      From what I’ve read, mCaptcha is stateful and has higher complexity. It is more geared towards multiple site / app management than single app. While altcha is not free

        Altcha is free if you selfhost it.

        On their website they have 2 pricing tiers: “Pro” (9€ per month) and “Open Source” (Free)

          Oh, I just re read it and altcha is even more complex to integrate if you did not use their ready made service. It is self hostable in the sense that it is just a library to perform said protection. At least if I understood the docs correctly
