It is shocking how many sites now use CloudFlare, I have recently switched ISPs and aparently my new ISP is SPAMMER and BOT heaven so almost every site I go to asks me to complete the Im Not A Robot Cloudflare reCapture. Really makes the experience suck.

what else would you use instead of CloudFlare?

If I was operating a site? I dont think there is anything comparable at the free cost. But what you can do is turn the sensitivity if the captcha challenge down to 'Essentially Off' as detailed here https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170096-H... the default setting seems to be way too quick to throw up a captcha.

The main competitor is Akamai. Have fun with the sales team.
