Two developers ask the same question in different words. One types "2Captcha soft_id," the other types "CapSolver AppID." They are looking for the same thing: a way to earn on solves their code makes without running a referral funnel. The two features are nearly identical
Search for a way to earn from CAPTCHAs and you land in the wrong place: sites offering pennies to sit and type them by hand. That is not what a developer wants. If you build scrapers, bots, or automation that already calls a solver, there is a real way to
Most CAPTCHA solvers now pay you to bring them usage. The programs come in two shapes: a referral link that pays when someone signs up, and a developer ID (AppID or soft_id) that pays on every solve routed through your code. The rates look similar on the surface. The
An AppID is an identifier you attach to your API requests so a CAPTCHA solver knows the traffic came through your integration. When a solve carries your AppID, the provider pays you a cut of what that solve cost. You keep earning on solves your code triggers, including solves run
You point your scraper at a page and instead of HTML you get a 403. Or worse: the Turnstile widget loads, spins, and never resolves — an infinite loop that eats your timeout budget and returns nothing. You swap proxies. You bolt on stealth plugins. Same wall. Here's what&
FlareSolverr used to be the easy answer: run a container, POST a URL, get back cookies and HTML. In 2026 you're more likely to get Challenge not detected, a timeout, or a response that's still the "Just a moment…" page. The approach itself, driving
You pip-installed cloudscraper, pointed it at a Cloudflare site, and got a 403, a 503, or an endless "Just a moment…" page instead of your data. It's not your code. cloudscraper stopped being able to solve most Cloudflare sites a while ago, and here's
If you're solving Cloudflare Turnstile at real volume, you've hit one of two walls with the big general-purpose services: they're slow because they poll a queue, or Turnstile is an afterthought behind forty other CAPTCHA types. Peak is built for Cloudflare and nothing else,
A plain Python requests script can't pass Turnstile. Here's the few-line pattern that does: get a token from a solving API and submit it, with the full code.
2Captcha wins on ecosystem breadth; Peak wins on Cloudflare speed, returning a token in about a second vs ~13s measured. Compared.
CapSolver covers 30+ CAPTCHA types; Peak focuses on Cloudflare with a single-call API and fresh SDKs. Which fits your workload.
Peak and NSLSolver are the two Cloudflare-focused, single-call, success-only solvers. Price, speed, and SDK coverage compared honestly.
