Screenshotlayer (an APILayer product) is known for cheap volume pricing and S3/FTP export. The trade-off is a dated feature set: no PDFs, no element capture, and only fixed-delay waiting.
Screenshotty covers the full capture feature set — full-page screenshots, PDFs, ad and cookie-banner blocking, geo-targeting, webhooks — with plans that include more screenshots at each tier (Free Tier: 100 screenshots/mo; Starter: $9/mo (2,500 screenshots); Growth: $29/mo (10,000 screenshots); Business: $79/mo (50,000 screenshots)) and $0.004 pay-as-you-go overage so you're never hard-capped.
