A CapMonster alternative for Cloudflare Turnstile
CapMonster Cloud takes Cloudflare Turnstile as TurnstileTask in the createTask format, and so does ZeroCaptcha, so a CapMonster client can switch by changing its host and its key, and its task type when it sends no proxy. Here is how the two compare, with every CapMonster fact linked to where we read it.
ZeroCaptcha is not affiliated with CapMonster Cloud. Their facts below were checked on 1 October 2026, at the pages linked beside each one; prices change, so check them before you decide.

Switching from CapMonster Cloud
Point the client's base URL at the ZeroCaptcha API host instead of api.capmonster.cloud.
Send your ZeroCaptcha key, which starts with zc_live_, as clientKey.
Send TurnstileTaskProxyless when you send no proxy fields: on ZeroCaptcha, TurnstileTask always runs through your proxy.
Keep pageAction and data (cData) as they are: both are read as CapMonster Cloud sends them. For a cf_clearance cookie, send CloudflareChallengeTask with your proxy instead of cloudflareTaskType cf_clearance.
Where ZeroCaptcha differs
Proxyless tasks run from ZeroCaptcha's network, and TurnstileTask always runs through your own HTTP or HTTPS proxy.
The formats are served on the API host itself: no hosts-file redirect or interceptor tool.
Top-ups are in crypto only and final; CapMonster Cloud also takes cards and refunds within 3 days of purchase.
Only Cloudflare Turnstile and Cloudflare challenge pages: stay with a multi-type provider if you need reCAPTCHA or Amazon WAF.
Cloudflare challenge pages work too, through your own proxy: a challenge task returns cf_clearance with the user agent it was issued for.
