hCaptcha is basically the same as reCAPTCHA, with some major differences:

1) They respect the privacy of your visitors.
2) The problems visitors solve are not for the benefit of a single company.
3) You can earn money, or donate it, by visitors solving these problems.

Is another platform where it can serve has an alternative rather than relying on a Google service for everything.

hCaptcha has a lot of problems displaying the UI. I recommend Cloudflare Turnstile, it loads fine in some countries.

are you guys sure that hCaptcha will have better uptime and performance than reCAPTCHA?
I agree that reCAPTCHA has issues but are we sure that hCaptcha doesn't have such issues?

Very much needed.

reCAPTCHA doesn't work for most, if not all, users in countries such as China - which only leads to lost revenue through things like sales inquiries.

Many software providers now given customers the option to choose between built-in, reCAPTCHA or hCAPTCHA, and WHMCS should as well.

I know this is 2 years old now but this is desperately needed and preferably, the sooner, the better. Privacy is a must and is very important to most businesses in this modern day. Google ReCAPTCHA is way outdated and is full of so many privacy flaws. WHMCS, please listen to us and provide hCaptcha in the next update.
HQWEB commented 7th June 22
Yes, please, add this feature ! Make privacy, part of WHMCS basics !
Calvin Judy commented 5th June 22
Recaptcha is garbage at this point that never receives any significant updates from Google.

Cloudflare has already ditched ReCaptcha for hCaptcha, time others do the same.
Evolve Hosting commented 28th March 22
I agree. Recaptcha doesn't work properly anyways. Add this please.
John MacKenzie commented 9th February 22
yes this is necessary now as more and more people dont like google things invading their privacy.
Roberto commented 9th February 22
I also am very interested, currently the only way to implement this is modifying the source code and thsi introduces problems when there are updates, this implemmentation would take very little effort because hCaptcha is API-compatible with reCAPTCHA!

100% Support this. We have already had multiple clients express concerns regarding the use of reCaptcha and fully intend to migrate to hCaptcha. Whether its with WHMCS or a different software (if WHMCS chooses to move against this request).
Edi commented 30th March 21
I need it! I also think this is very necessary!
Evolve Hosting commented 24th February 21
Please add it. Having so many issues with the current reCaptcha implementation that we can't even use it.
