Consent evidence, modernized
CapchaCloud vs TrustedForm
TrustedForm pioneered the consent certificate and is a trusted incumbent. CapchaCloud captures the same consent moment with stronger cryptographic evidence, screens bots before certifying, includes 5-year retention free, and bundles auth + bot + consent at roughly half the per-certificate price.
Where CapchaCloud wins
- Cryptographically stronger. Each record is anchored in a tamper-evident hash chain and (for video evidence) an RFC-3161 trusted timestamp — verifiable integrity, not just a stored snapshot.
- Dual human screen at capture. Turnstile gates the form and the browser silently solves a proof-of-work (Cap/Altcha) — two independent human signals, recorded as a verified verdict. You're certifying a human's consent, not a bot-submitted lead. That's lead quality, not just lead proof.
- Unspoofable origin forensics. Every record seals the visitor's IP and full Cloudflare edge geolocation (country to lat/long, ASN, EU flag), observed server-side — useful for jurisdiction, fraud review, and dispute defense.
- Richer evidence. Optional watermarked video + rendered proof images of the exact consent interaction.
- 5-year retention, included. Meets the FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule recordkeeping window and outlasts the TCPA's 4-year statute — no paid "retain" add-on.
- One platform. Consent + bot screening + login (CapchaID) on a single bill. Self-serve, with a free tier.
- ~Half the price per certificate, with volume discounts.
