# Cloudflare is free of CAPTCHAs; Turnstile is free for everyone

**[Cloudflare](https://daily.dev/sources/cloudflare)** · 6 min read · 32 upvotes · 3 comments

## Summary

Cloudflare has eliminated CAPTCHAs and made Turnstile, its bot-stopping solution, available for free to all website operators. Turnstile's checkbox solution is just as effective as a CAPTCHA without requiring user interactivity. It uses various in-browser tests to analyze browser characteristics and detect bots. Over 1 million automated signup attempts have been blocked by Turnstile. During the beta, Turnstile received feedback and added new features, such as support for additional languages and error code transparency. Turnstile is now in general availability and is free to use.
