Hi, I'm a developer that specializes in AI & software engineering, I've recently crafted a program that is able to solve the following types of captchas:
  • ReCaptcha v2 (only the 'select x object' version)
  • hCaptcha (all versions, 'label all x', 'select area around x')
  • funCaptcha ('rotate animal' & 'select animal' version
  • classic captcha (type out what you see)
Every interaction to the respective captcha's APIs are made purely with HTTP requests, there is no dependency on a webdriver of any kind, this
leads to very good performance, as there is no overhead V8 engines loaded. The AI side is hosted on a server, so you don't need a super powerful PC either.

Browser data is generated with the help of augumented real-world collected information, this includes Fingerprints, Mouse movement profiles, etc..
I've been able to consistently get a solve % of around - 66% across all captchas, which i think is pretty solid for.. you know, a literal robot

I've seen services such as capmonster, and other captcha solvers that rely on user input, however my method is fully automated & able to achieve pretty good speeds (up to 500/min on single instance), and there is no "limit" as you can literally just launch another instance of the program.

I'm looking to monetize this software so here I am asking for any kinds of advice. What should be the price? Could this sell here on this forum? What kind of access should be granted? (subscription based, or rather per-captcha basis?)

Thanks in advance for any kind of reply!

I think you should make it into a SaaS offering.

Allow people to use it through an API, and make a credit system. You must calculate how much resources you need to run the solver, and set up levels like $5 for 1000 credits monthly 10 for 2500 etc. Though I'm guessing anyone interested in a captcha solver might be looking at much higher numbers than 1000 a month

This sounds pretty good, however I am almost certain that converting the whole software into an API is too trivial.
The only part that you could call an "API" is the server hosting the AI, the rest of the work would be done on the client (software)
Because of this, there is no way for me to "check" which captchas were solved and which failed, I can only tell when the AI has been infered to do a job, so realistically I was
thinking of a subscription-based approach (weekly? monthly?) with a base rate-limit of lets say 1000 infers / minute, as to not overload the servers

Thanks for the advice anyway! I'll consider this option if I find a way to check whether a captcha failed or not.
 
Well sounds like you have a pretty good capability to run this on server side, so a flat monthly subscription might work very well. You can always test the waters and adjust limits based on client input.
I'd stick with monthly subscription of at least 2 levels + yearly plan for a discounted price (like 2 months free). You can have a 7 day trial period where you limit to 25 infers/minute.

Also, many of the SaaS services like to offer a lifetime deal when starting off. This might help you get started and get the word out about your offering (although I would say wait at least 3 months before trying lifetime deal, if traffic picks up anyway you can skip this step).
 
ohh for god shake, I thought you were talking about solving captchas for money (which I did several years ago) and was a completely waste of time.
Congrats on your program.
You could use it to automate tasks on MMO websites
 
People buy projects on a thread in n.to, they have a telegram group where people sell their projects also.
From what you've described yours would be a top tier project compared to what's on offer generally, I believe you could net something in the 5 digits

Good suggest above too.
 
out of my curiosity, why such low %? 66% for AI is pretty low imo.

The AI's accuracy is actually outrageuos, but captchas like hCaptcha & reCaptcha V2 also judge you also based on browser data, mouse movements, etc. which I haven't been able to perfect yet

Interesting! I'm not interested in selling the whole project along with the source but I will make sure to check it out. Thanks

Woah what a nice project bro, if your AI can solve captcha automatic you can earn $1.2 / 1k captchas solved by your AI. good luck

You can do that like Saas.
I think you can do Same time Saas and same time software selling.

For Saas look at this: https://capmonster.cloud/en/
For Software selling look at this: https://zennolab.com/en/products/capmonster/
 
It's not about the captcha solving itself, but the integrations with software that use captcha to solve things.
For example, XRumer, use their own captcha solver XEvil, and many other equivalent software have the integration to use on their side.

The more integration you achieve, the better you will be able to market it. Generally captchas solvers are marketed under a credit system. For example, 1K captcha for $1. If you captcha is able to succeed where others can't you could charge an extra for captcha solved compared to the alternatives.

2Captcha for example, has been able to integrate with dozens of software out there, which make them super-popular.
