See why developers and businesses choose Screenshotty over other screenshot APIs. Better features, better pricing, better experience.
ApiFlash positions itself as an affordable option for developers. While their pricing is competitive, Screenshotty offers more features and better value for most use cases.
Browserless is a different kind of service - it provides headless Chrome infrastructure rather than a simple screenshot API. Great for complex automation, but overkill for screenshot needs.
url2png has served simple screenshot URLs since around 2010 and is known for its signed-URL embedding and free cached impressions. Its feature set has largely stood still, and there is no free tier.
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.
Screenshot Machine is a no-frills European service known for cheap pricing (in EUR), a 99.99% uptime SLA, and practical parameters like hide and click selectors. It lacks geo-targeting, webhooks, and modern rendering controls.
Stillio is a no-code SaaS that screenshots a fixed list of URLs on a schedule — built for compliance archiving and brand monitoring, priced per tracked webpage. It is not an on-demand developer API, which makes it expensive for programmatic capture workloads.
Microlink is a developer-favorite platform covering screenshots, PDFs, metadata, and link previews, with a strong open-source core and modern feature depth. Its quota model (hard pause, no overage) and $49 paid entry are the main trade-offs for dedicated screenshot workloads.
We built Screenshotty to be the screenshot API we always wanted - powerful, affordable, and developer-friendly.
