What sets CapSkip apart is everything happens locally - no challenge data leaves your hardware, and there are no per-CAPTCHA fees. That combination of privacy and predictable cost turns out to be hard to beat for serious automation.
Selenium remains a staple for browser automation, and CapSkip fits right in. Your your driver flow unchanged and hand off the CAPTCHA to CapSkip whenever one shows up, so the run continues without human steps.
