2Captcha review: what it is and what to look for in an alternative

What 2Captcha is

2Captcha presents itself to workers as a captcha typing job. Businesses send captchas through the 2Captcha API, and workers solve them in a browser worker cabinet or through dedicated worker software.

It is run by ALTWEB LLC FZ, based in the United Arab Emirates, which is named in the 2Captcha terms of service as the owner and operator.

• Solving captchas in the browser on the 2Captcha website: typing the text in an image, clicking the right squares and similar tasks.
• Solving captchas through 2Captcha's own worker software, the 2Captcha Bot app for Android and CaptchaBotRS for Windows, which is needed for reCAPTCHA tasks.
• A referral programme that pays a share of the earnings of people who register through a worker's link.
• A short free training that workers must pass before paid work starts, with additional recognition training offered as a way to earn more.

What to look for in a similar site

If you are comparing 2Captcha against other sites, a few points are worth checking before you register anywhere.

• Whether the site publishes a clear list of countries it works in, rather than a general statement that it has workers everywhere.
• Which payout wallets or methods are actually listed, since not every site supports the same ones in every country.
• Whether the minimum payout is the same for every method or depends on which wallet you choose.
• Whether any software is required to do the work, and which operating systems it supports.
• Whether the site explains how accounts are reviewed or suspended, and what happens to the balance if that happens.

2Captcha compared with PocketsFull

The two sites work in different ways, so the comparison below is about what each one actually offers, not which is better.

How PocketsFull differs

PocketsFull is a rewards site, not a captcha-solving job. Members take paid surveys from survey providers and complete offers, many of them game and app offers, and build up a balance they can redeem.

There is no training to pass and no piece-rate typing work: a survey adds its reward to the balance when it is completed, and an offer lists its own steps and reward before you start it.

Joining PocketsFull is free and there is no deposit at any point. PocketsFull also runs a referral programme, and it has an Android app as well as a website that works in a phone browser.

What a member earns on PocketsFull depends on the surveys and offers available in their country and the time they spend. It is pocket money, not a salary, and PocketsFull is not an employer.

How PocketsFull pays out

The box below shows the gift cards and other payout options available on PocketsFull's redeem screen, and these depend on your country.

PayPal and Litecoin are also listed. 2Captcha instead pays out through wallets such as WebMoney, AirTM and crypto options including Bitcoin Cash, USDT and TON, which is a different set of options from what you see on PocketsFull.
