Spam protection – reCAPTCHA v3 and v2

Google reCAPTCHA is anti-spam protection that helps to distinguish Internet bots from real users. In Landingi, there are two ways you can activate reCAPTCHA protection: using reCAPTCHA v3 for all landing pages (visitors do not have to take any action) or adding reCAPTCHA v2 to a form (visitors have to manually confirm they are not robots).

See also other methods of spam protection:

• blocking custom email domains;
• marking leads as spam.

What’s the difference between reCAPTCHA v2 and v3? Which is better?

reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 are both tools created by Google to prevent spam and malicious activities on websites. The main difference is how they work. reCAPTCHA v2 often asks users to solve puzzles like clicking checkboxes or identifying images to prove they're not robots. On the other hand, reCAPTCHA v3 runs in the background and assesses user behavior on a site to determine if they're genuine or not, without requiring any interaction.

Which one is better depends on the specific needs of a website. v3 is more user-friendly since it doesn't disrupt user experience, while v2 might be better for cases where more precise user verification is needed.
