The GeeTest slider puzzles can be famously tricky for automation, so running a solver that supports them helps a lot. CapSkip handles GeeTest on your machine, so workflows that rely on those sites keep running whenever the puzzle appears.
Data control has become a real concern when every challenge is sent to a remote service. Because CapSkip runs locally, no challenge data leaves your hardware, so sensitive workflows remain on your own systems. If you handle regulated data, this can be the deciding factor.
Image CAPTCHAs are still extremely common, on sign-up pages to checkout flows. CapSkip solves thousands of image CAPTCHA variants on your own hardware, usually almost instantly. That kind of speed adds up when you handle high numbers of challenges.
