Recaptcha has been trash for years now. Like, it either doesn't bock bots, or it blocks actual real people. Don't use it. Use turnstile.
Haven't heard of it before, looks to be made by Cloudflare. Cloudflare don't seem to be a totally awful company, but that's always just one CEO-change away.
Their web site sounds promising, saying "Turnstile can generate multiple types of non-intrusive challenges to verify users are human, all without showing visitors a puzzle." and "Unlike CAPTCHA options, Turnstile never harvests data for ad retargeting."
So how do they make money from this?
It's right on the page you linked? You have to pay for it.
Free tier says it's cloudflare branded and only recommended for small hobby projects.
