Watchdog.chat vs. reCAPTCHA
๐ With Watchdog, you'll never have to lose a user to an impossible-to-read CAPTCHA again:
Here's the problem with CAPTCHAs...
โ CAPTCHAs only prevent simple spambots that can't solve a CAPTCHA from joining
โ They are so annoying that real humans will often just avoid or fail to fill them out
โ They don't prevent against human bad actors that are out to ruin your community and they can't handle more advanced bots that break CAPTCHAs
On the other hand...
โ Watchdog.chat costs a small amount and reCAPTCHA is free up to 10K assessments, but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for"
