Hey there!
Friendly Captcha is a Captcha service on its own and doesn’t have to do anything with Google’s service. Unlike Google, in our service you don’t pay our developers with your user’s data, but with service plans.
On top of that we offer a free Personal plan for non-commercial use, did you notice this plan?
Looking forward to your feedback! We would be very happy if you could reconsider your rating as we are very passionate developers who want to build a user-friendly and privacy-friendly service as an alternative to large market players, who force users to label images like cars or mountains and force users to pay with their users’ personal data.
Best wishes,
The Friendly Captcha Team
The personal use plan is not suitable for most business websites, mainly just for personal blogs, and my main issue is that you don’t say anything in your plugin info on WordPress that it requires an external account for the plugin to work. The expectations your materials here set and what was delivered didn’t match. If you could rewrite your info in the WordPress repository to better match what’s actually delivered with the plugin, I wouldn’t have had a problem with it.
Hi @radiantfreedom
We’ve taken your feedback to heart and made our instructions even clearer so that future users will understand more quickly that we are not just another reCaptcha integration plugin but a dedicated solution. You can find the new explanation here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/friendly-captcha/#how%20to%20use%20the%20friendly%20captcha%20plugin%3F
We would be very happy if you would change the title and your rating text based on our adjustments. By doing so, you would support us in our mission to bring a privacy-friendly, accessible and user-friendly captcha solution into the world.
We look forward to your feedback!
Best wishes from Germany,
The Friendly Captcha Team
