What type of faucet scripts do you buy? Most of the faucets, nowadays, use free scripts.
So, you want to run a faucet? =snip=
Part 2 - Creating a faucet:Before we begin, there is another guide on how to create a faucet using the FaucetBox micropayment processor
here created by SpreadBit
If you have little programming knowledge, not to worry, there are several premade scripts for you to use for your faucet.
Something you have to choose from is which payment processor and script you would like to use. There is little difference between them, so just pick based on your own opinion.
If you would like something custom made, try posting in the
Services section and a dev may help you.
TIP - Once you have your faucet up and running, try to put an inital somewhat large deposit into your selected processor (0.01BTC or more). This will give you time to spread word of your faucet, without you having to worry about funds.
Microwallet -
http://www.microwallet.orgThe original Bitcoin micropayment processor. This one used to be rather trusted, until the Admin decided to take off and leave everything. Because of this, payments are irregular and API access is never granted to new users. I wouldn't reccommend this service. If you have API access, they offer a free faucet script to use
here.

http://faucetbox.comThis processor was a successor to Microwallet after the admin left. This processor supports payments from Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Peercoin. This processor currently has a very large amount of faucets running on it, and is very trusted by the community. They offer a free faucet script
here, and also a way to migrate a Microwallet faucet to FaucetBox
here.

http://paytoshi.orgI currently use this processor on one of my sites and it has worked very well. The admin is good with support and even made a library for payments on request. I would reccommend this processor. This processor also provides a free faucet script, which you can find
here.

https://gitorious.org/elbandi/minifaucet/While this is not a payment processor, it is a faucet script created by Elbandi and supports withdrawals through blockchain.info, coinbase.com or a custom daemon. Using a daemon means that this script supports any coin. It is based off of the MyFaucet script for inputs.io, which was very popular and widely used a year or two back. This is the only faucet script here that supports on site balances, and direct payments to wallets. Because of this, you should use a high cashout minimum if you decide to use this script (0.0001BTC\10,000 Satoshi minimum).

https://github.com/ChristianGrieger/Cryptocurrency-faucet-scriptOnce again, this is not a payment processor, but a faucet script made for
http://wow.bitcoinproject.net/. This script doesn't use any online API, instead it uses daemons to send the coins. This means that this script can use any currency, and also is not reliant on any other website to send payments. This script also supports blockchain.info withdrawals. In addition to this, it has very in depth settings and even an anti tor script. However, this also means that this script requires some technical knowledge to set up and get running and also requires a VPS server to run well. The github has a link to get everything set up.
