Minimalist captcha bot: private-message check for new members before they can post, plus basic anti-spam. Free, 10 thousand monthly users.
CaptchaAntiSpamBot checks new members through a private-message challenge rather than a public button in the group, which keeps the chat clean of "please verify" spam during busy join periods, then removes anyone who does not respond in time. It bundles in a few basic anti-spam measures on top of the captcha itself.
It is one of several near-identical Russian-language captcha bots in this category (alongside Captcha_Rubot and ZashchitaOtSpamaBot); pick based on which one's default settings and moderation log best fit your group's size and pace.

In a private message from the bot to the new member, not in the group chat itself.
