hCaptcha customers by country
Based on country-code domains (such as .de or .co.uk); websites on .com and other generic domains are not assigned a country.
TechLeads scans public websites and detects hCaptcha from signals in the page HTML, scripts, cookies, HTTP headers and DNS records. Market share is hCaptcha's website count divided by the website counts of all Security technologies we track; a site using two Security tools counts for both. Counts were last refreshed on October 8, 2026 and update daily.
