Hi @Karina Budhrani, sure!
There are two main reasons why I choose hCaptcha over reCaptcha:
Privacy: Google's privacy-intrusive data collection policy. Yep, they are collecting people's information through their reCapture. That brings up an array of privacy concerns. And, the visitors to your site are also working for Google every time they complete a captcha. They are helping Google to train their Artificial Intelligence (AI) like in their Self-driving car project. Yes, Google is using us.
Fees: Google's future plans to charge for the use of the reCaptcha service. That will be way too expensive and unsustainable for many businesses.
Below are some useful articles I recommend:

  Wow! Thank you for this extensive explanation @OneEagle . I’m going to look through the articles and consider the switch too. Definitely worth it. Keep us posted on when hcaptcha works again.

  This is exactly why I further push for removal of 3rd party use of services. It should all be integrated in to script. For reasons as seen here. UNA is to reliant on third party services. This could cause site owners to not afford operation of services to third parties and also create issues in the future such as third party service charges or simply third party services closing, issues on there end, etc...
  This can and could be a huge set back for site admins and operators. I would rather pay for services in a full self reliant script, then fork out funds to 20 different third part services, that my site is totally reliant on working or being there to operate properly.
