Open Source Invisible reCAPTCHA alternatives [closed]

Is there any close or best open source solutions as Google's Invisible reCAPTCHA V2? And also as Google's regular reCAPTCHA V2(checkbox one)?

Is reCAPTCHA open source?

reCAPTCHA is a free-of-charge service provided to websites for assistance with the decipherment, but the reCAPTCHA software is not open-source.

Is reCAPTCHA no longer free?

reCAPTCHA is a free service that protects your website from spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA uses an advanced risk analysis engine and adaptive CAPTCHAs to keep automated software from engaging in abusive activities on your site.

Can reCAPTCHA be bypassed?

Use a VPN. VPN locations allow you to legitimately bypass Google's ReCAPTCHA roadblocks. For the best results, choose a well-known VPN service instead of a free VPN which would arrive with its own set of problems. Good VPNs disguise your traffic, protect your device details and don't record logs.

SecurImage or phpcaptcha is open source alternative to Google reCaptcha v2. But I don't think there's any alternative to the Invisible reCaptcha yet. You can refer to This for some good alternatives for reCaptcha v2 (though most of them are not open source).

I have yet to find any pre-assembled free code implementations, but my favourite suggestions so far for replacing reCaptcha is the honeypot technique. The concept is that webmasters add fields to their forms that are invisible to human users, but visible to bots. When bots fill in these invisible fields, they reveal that they're not human, and the forms can be safely discarded.

... and some discussion of implementation here: https://www.thryv.com/blog/honeypot-technique/

I like this because of the way it shifts the burden of proof. Instead of requiring users to perform annoying extra tasks to prove they are human, they are presumed to be human, unless they reveal themselves to be bots. Also, 'are you a human' captchas, are known to make it difficult (if not impossible) for some special needs users to access websites, so this is another good reason to find a replacement for them.
