CapSolver is one of the most popular AI-based CAPTCHA solving services. It's faster than 2Captcha and fully AI-powered — but it still falls short on pricing, accuracy, and LATAM document support. Here's a detailed comparison.

- CapSolver — $400/month
- Ocilar — $80/month (PAYG) or $79/month (Business plan)
What CapSolver doesn't support
The biggest gap is LATAM-specific services:
- SAT Mexico CAPTCHA — unique to Mexico's tax authority portal
- IMSS Mexico CAPTCHA — social security portal
- INE data extraction — Mexican voter ID
- CSF extraction — Constancia de Situación Fiscal
- CFDI parsing — Mexican digital invoices
API comparison
CapSolver uses a two-step createTask/getTaskResult pattern. Ocilar is synchronous — one call, immediate response:
# CapSolver: two calls required
POST https://api.capsolver.com/createTask
# ... then poll getTaskResult until done
# Ocilar: single synchronous call
curl -X POST https://api.ocilar.com/api/v1/solve/recaptcha \
-H "X-API-Key: sk-your_key" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"version":"v3","sitekey":"6Le...","url":"https://example.com"}'
# Returns token immediately — no polling Migration from CapSolver
from ocilar import OcilarClient
client = OcilarClient(api_key="sk-your_key")
# One call — no polling
result = client.solve_recaptcha(
version="v3",
sitekey="6Le...",
url="https://example.com"
)
print(result.token) # ready to use immediately FAQ
Is the migration from CapSolver difficult?
No. Replace the two-step createTask/getTaskResult pattern with a single POST. Most migrations take under an hour.
Does Ocilar support proxies?
Browser-based solving (reCAPTCHA v3, hCaptcha, Turnstile) uses Ocilar's own browser infrastructure. You don't need to supply proxies.
What SDKs are available?
Python, Node.js, Go, and PHP. See the SDK docs.
