2Captcha is a general CAPTCHA API that solves dozens of challenge types, pricing Cloudflare Turnstile around $1.45 per 1,000 tokens on a submit-and-poll model. Peak is a Cloudflare specialist: one synchronous call returns the Turnstile token in about a second, you pay only for successful solves, and Turnstile starts at $0.90 per 1,000.

2Captcha has been around for years and solves almost everything: reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, image captchas, and Turnstile among them. It is a proven, broad service with a large worker network. The tradeoff is that it is built for breadth. Its API is submit-then-poll: you fire a request, get a task ID, and poll until the result is ready, which adds round trips you do not need when Turnstile is your whole problem.
Peak solves Cloudflare and nothing else, so the integration is smaller and the price on Turnstile is lower than a general service that treats it as one line on a long menu.

Yes, if Turnstile is your main challenge. Peak returns the token in one synchronous call, starts at $0.90 per 1,000 (versus roughly $1.45 at 2Captcha), and bills only for successful solves. 2Captcha remains the better pick if you also need many non-Cloudflare captcha types.
Peak starts at $0.90 per 1,000 successful Turnstile solves and drops to $0.35 at high volume. 2Captcha lists Turnstile around $1.45 per 1,000 as of 2026. Prices change, so check both before committing.
Minimally. Peak is a single POST /solve call that returns the token directly, so you drop the polling loop. Official wrappers for Scrapy, Playwright, Selenium, curl_cffi, Puppeteer, and TypeScript make it a near drop-in.
New accounts get 1,000 free solves, no card. Run Peak on the site that is actually blocking you and compare the token time and success rate yourself. That is the only benchmark that counts.
