A single stalled request will halt an entire run, so solving challenges on the fly keeps throughput predictable. CapSkip fits these workflows cleanly. + +One of the biggest benefits of running locally is cost. Most services charge per solve, so your bill rise the moment throughput increases.

In practice, this means pointing current code at CapSkip takes little changes - nothing to rebuild. + +CapSkip's API is designed to emulate the request format of major CAPTCHA-solving services. What this means, tools and tools that currently target other services can switch to CapSkip needing little [see More](https://GIT.Nostr.rocks/carmineokane5/verena2009/wiki/Getting+Past+Cloudflare+Challenges+in+Real+Automation) than a URL change and zero new code. + +Concurrent solving becomes the point at which self-hosted tooling really shines.
