No charge on failure
If a capture is blocked by a captcha or popup, no certificate is issued and nothing is billed.

Will we be able to capture your target site?
Some websites show a captcha, a human-verification check, or a consent/cookie wall to automated browsers instead of the real page. We detect that on every capture — and if a page is blocked, we do not certify it and you are never charged. Test a domain below to see its current status.
Test your target domain.
Enter the site you want to capture. We will tell you whether it currently captures cleanly, serves bot-protection, or has not been tested yet. Either way, a failed capture is never billed.
Websites we capture cleanly.
A sample of widely-used websites InstantProof captures cleanly today — each verified to certify without a captcha or bot-protection wall. This is a curated selection; most public content and e-commerce sites work, so if yours isn't listed, test it above. Sites behind a human-verification wall can still be certified with assisted capture.

How bot protection affects an automated capture.
An automated capture records what the server returns. If the site returns a challenge instead of the page, that is what would be captured — so we check first.
1
We capture the pageA controlled browser loads the URL exactly as a visitor would.
2
We verify it is the real contentCookie/consent banners are auto-dismissed before capture. Before certifying, we check the capture is not a captcha or human-verification check.
3
Clean page → certifiedThe signed, timestamped certificate is issued and the capture is billed as normal.
✓
Blocked page → not certified, not chargedWe record the blocked attempt for your history and never bill it. The domain is flagged so you know its status — and you can still capture it with assisted capture (below).
You only pay for captures that worked.
Bot protection is the site's choice, not yours — so we never pass its cost to you.
Recorded, not hidden
The blocked attempt appears in your history — proof that the capture was tried at that moment.
Capture it now with assisted capture
For a genuinely blocked site you do not have to wait: assisted capture opens a live browser you drive yourself — clear the captcha, then the page is certified. Protected sites are also queued so automated coverage keeps growing.
Bot-protection questions, answered directly.
Am I charged if a capture is blocked by bot protection?
No. Every capture is checked before it is certified. If the page is blocked by a captcha or popup, no certificate is issued and you are not charged — the blocked attempt is simply recorded so you can see it was tried.
What counts as "bot protection"?
A captcha or human-verification check shown instead of the page. Cookie/consent banners, newsletter modals and similar overlays are not a blocker — they are auto-dismissed before capture, so only a genuine captcha or human-check counts as blocked.
Can you capture sites that have bot protection?
Often yes — most e-commerce and content sites capture cleanly. For a site that is genuinely blocked, you can still capture it yourself with assisted capture: a human-driven browser session where you clear the captcha, then the page is certified. We also keep expanding automated coverage. Use the domain test above for the current status; you are never charged when an automated capture fails.
Is this legal advice?
No. This service creates technical evidence artifacts. Legal admissibility depends on jurisdiction and circumstances. Consult qualified legal counsel for advice specific to your situation.
