Cloudflare Turnstile uses a combination of factors, including browser fingerprinting, IP address analysis, and behavioral analysis to distinguish between humans and bots. It's designed to be more resilient against sophisticated bot attacks. Google reCAPTCHA has evolved through multiple versions, with v3 relying heavily on risk scoring. While effective, some argue that Turnstile's explicit challenges provide a more direct and verifiable method for bot mitigation.
