Are you looking for an effective and budget-friendly CAPTCHA solution for your WordPress site? With the recent changes in Google reCAPTCHA pricing, it’s time to reconsider your options.
CreataCaptcha, the all-new WordPress plugin, offers unlimited requests for just $20 per year. Here, we’ll compare the costs of CreataCaptcha and Google reCAPTCHA across different usage scenarios.
Pricing Breakdown
CreataCaptcha:
- Annual Cost: $20 (unlimited requests)
Google reCAPTCHA:
- Lite: Free for up to 10,000 requests per month
- Standard: $8 per 1,000 requests after the first 10,000 free requests
Scenarios
Let’s look at the cost implications for websites with varying levels of monthly traffic (assuming each visitor triggers one CAPTCHA request).
1. Website with 3,000 Monthly Visitors
This can be seen as a relatively low-traffic website as 3,000 monthly visitors equals an average of 100 daily visitors.
- CreataCaptcha: $20 per year
- Google reCAPTCHA Lite: Free (under 10,000 requests)
2. Website with 30,000 Monthly Visitors
Moving up to 30,000 monthly visitors, which equals an average of 1000 daily visitors, we can see that the cost quickly gets out of hand.
- CreataCaptcha: $20 per year
- Google reCAPTCHA Standard:
- Monthly: 30,000 requests (10,000 free + 20,000 paid)
- Cost: 20 × $8 = $160
- Annual: $160 × 12 = $1,920 🤔
3. Website with 300,000 Monthly Visitors
When talking about 300,000 monthly visitors (or 10,000 daily), the reCAPTCHA price goes through the roof!
- CreataCaptcha: $20 per year
- Google reCAPTCHA Standard:
- Monthly: 300,000 requests (10,000 free + 290,000 paid)
- Cost: 290 × $8 = $2,320
- Annual: $2,320 × 12 = $27,840 😧
Summary
- CreataCaptcha: Offers a flat rate of $20 per year, regardless of the number of requests, making it the most cost-effective solution for high-traffic websites.
- Google reCAPTCHA: While suitable for low-traffic sites under 10,000 requests per month, it becomes significantly more expensive for higher traffic levels.
Choosing CreataCaptcha not only provides cost savings but also ensures you have unlimited CAPTCHA requests without worrying about escalating costs as your website traffic grows. At just $20 per year, CreataCaptcha is a smart investment for any website looking to enhance its security without breaking the bank.
