DBC should have a discount if you spend a certain amount. Let's say $400/mo and above a 15% discount... c-mon DBC, let's do this!! 
is Death by Captcha good?

I did find it weird that they chose not to offer incentives to purchase upper packages. Then again, with their service, they get customers regardless at their regular prices hehe.

Hey Guys,
We're currently working on this. Actually, in the past few days we've been kicking overload's ass, with average solving times of even 12-13 seconds during peak hours. However, we'll keep taking measures to improve it for good.
We're also studying ways of reducing our operational costs and lower our prices. Now I can't tell you a concrete date for it , but it will be definitively done in the not too distant future.

Damn, wish I knew that before hand haha. Could have gotten me some free captchas! Anyway, I just bought another 5k package. The payment is super quick and I usually have a 94% to 98% success on the "correct" captchas.
Always at your service taxx83.
We have recently implemented a Hybrid Human-OCR System and lowered our rate to $1.39 per 1K CAPTCHA. We will continue to lower our rates when we keep on optimizing our Optical Character Recognition system.
You may read our F.A.Q. in our homepage to see how it works

I highly recommend DBC. I've used it with SENuke and Scrapebox for quite a while and have never had any issues. Prices are very cheap and seems to be integrated into most other tools that require captcha services. Just my 2 cents...

Hi, just wanted to give my thoughts on DBC.
I was a customer for 8 or 9 months and consistently experienced the same flaws with the PHP uploading script: it would very consistently timeout and fail to connect, resulting in anywhere from 4 to 9 minutes to solve a captcha. Usually it would timeout/fail 3-5 times and eventually solve.
Now, this was not an issue on my web host. The connection was not being blocked or failing on my server side at all; it was simply timing out on DBC's end.
If you can wait 4 to 9 minutes for a captcha to be solved, then go with DBC.
I have since switched to Decaptcher at my clients' request. It is more expensive. However, it is much, much faster and more reliable. On top of that, when I have support inquiries I get a personal response from the admin within a day. At DBC, I would usually also receive a response same-day but sometimes next day, but the biggest difference is that DBC was extremely unwilling to cooperate and refund me for lost CAPTCHAs. However at Decaptcher I feel my business is actually valued and I am treated like an appreciated customer.
I am not affiliated with either company, I am just a customer and this is my impression of the two captcha solving services.
Just some quotes of DBC's support: they generally would tell me that they are not experiencing the issue. It is not their problem. Etc. Clearly it is their issue; there is a bug somewhere, maybe the servers are overloaded, idk. It was just ridiculous that they were not very willing to help me:
Please provide us more details? Really? Here is my original e-mail:
I was also never refunded the lost CAPTCHAs due to the bug, despite them later saying that they would "lookup all your previous and current purchase and update your account with missing payments, if any. ". lol.
In short, I do not support DBC. I will never purchase their CAPTCHAs again.

In the above quote: I had already specified the exact API version I was using in the previous e-mail... I also provided an error log with hundreds of lines of exact error messages with codes/numbers, and a couple paragraphs. That was their well thought out response.
Please provide us more details? Really? Here is my original e-mail:
