Friendly Captcha for WordPress

On first sight this CAPTCHA solution is what many people are looking for: Easy to implement and fully GDPR-compliant.

With the "Personal" plan there is a free plan available however I got an email from the friendly captcha team to upgrade my account. The smallest pricing option is 9 € a month. Sorry guys... for providing a simple piece of software 1.080 € over 10 years is ridiculous and I am out.

Good but...

consider to continue doing it. Also, let me know if you are willing to help with testing :).</p>
<p>This is a small modification of the wp-recaptcha plugin to make it work with<br />
BuddyPress. Currently uses recaptcha v2.</p>
<p>You only need this plugin if you use Buddypress with wordpress and want a<br />
recaptcha at the registration page.</p>
<p>It is always rebased on top of wp-recaptcha. See<br />

<p>What is reCAPTCHA?</p>
<p>reCAPTCHA is a free CAPTCHA service that protects your site against spam, malicious registrations and other forms of attacks where computers try to disguise themselves as a human; a CAPTCHA is a Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Human Apart. reCAPTCHA comes in the form of a widget that you can easily add to your blog, forum, registration form, etc.</p>
<p>In addition to protecting your site, reCAPTCHA also helps us digitize old books and newspapers, transcribe street numbers and solve hard AI problems. <a href="http://www.google.com/recaptcha" rel="nofollow ugc">Learn how reCAPTCHA works</a> and join our <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/recaptcha" rel="nofollow ugc">forum</a>.</p>
