The readme states "reCAPTCHA is a free CAPTCHA service", but that is incorrect starting this year.
I just got an email, that I have to migrate my reCaptcha account to Google Cloud project with its billing.
It's estimating 1$/1k requests with the first ~12500 requests/month being free.

Therefore, for any sufficiently large project, it's not free. Please correct the README.

Google is sunsetting the free version of this API at the end of 2025. Going forward you will be required to use the Enterprise version. This version will remain free till the end of the year, then over 10K requests a month you have to pay about $8 a month or more. Google is emailing upgrade info to everyone in the near future.

In the meantime, if you want a PHP 8.4 compatible library, check out:

phpfui/recaptcha

Should be a drop in replacement. Just replace google with phpfui in your composer.json file and change the version to ^2.0.

Let me know of any issues.
