Source: each provider's public pricing page, June 2026 — the smallest plan that covers the stated volume. 1 ApiFlash's tiers jump from 1,000 (Lite, $7) to 10,000 (Medium, $35), so 2,000/mo needs the $35 plan. 2 Urlbox's $19 tier covers ~1,000 screenshots, so 2,000/mo needs Hi-Fi ($49, up to 5,000); 10,000/mo needs Ultra ($99, up to 15,000). "—" = not listed as an included plan feature on that provider's page. Verify current details with each vendor.
All four run real browsers in the cloud and capture well — the difference is what's bundled, and how the tiers line up with your volume.
$9 / 2,000 · $29 / 10,000 · 100 free
The screenshot API plus bulk capture, a responsive tester, Lighthouse audits, sitemap capture and visual-change monitoring on every plan — and a hosted MCP server so agents capture, compare and audit with the image returned inline. EU-hosted in Frankfurt, full pages to 20,000px, PNG/JPEG/PDF. One key across API, tools, monitoring and agents.
$17 / 2,000 · $79 / 10,000 · 100 free
A mature, API-first service with a deep parameter set, PDF and full-page support, ad/cookie blocking, and video generation on higher tiers. Volume pricing runs higher at the same counts, and tools, monitoring and an MCP server aren't part of the plans — it's the capture endpoint you wire into your own product.
$35 / 10,000 · 100 free
The cheapest at 10,000/mo and easy to drop in for straightforward capture, with full-page screenshots, ad/cookie blocking and S3 export. Output is PNG/JPEG/WebP (no PDF listed), tiers jump from 1,000 to 10,000 so low volumes round up, and it doesn't bundle tools, monitoring or an MCP server.
$49 / 2,000 · $99 / 15,000 · trial
Focused on render quality and reliability, with PDF and ad/cookie blocking from the Hi-Fi tier up and regional clusters on Business plans. Priced toward the premium end, with a 7-day trial rather than a permanent free tier. A fit when render fidelity and enterprise controls matter more than the lowest price.
If you only need a raw capture endpoint, compare on price-per-capture and the exact parameters you need — ApiFlash is cheapest at volume, Urlbox leans premium, ScreenshotOne sits in between. If you want screenshots plus browser tools, visual monitoring and first-class support for AI agents under one plan and one quota, ScreenshotInk is built for that — and undercuts the others at both 2,000 and 10,000 captures a month. Either way: try the free tier, run your real URLs, and re-check current pricing before committing.
It depends on what you need. ScreenshotInk is a strong all-in-one choice: a fast screenshot API with bulk capture, a responsive tester, Lighthouse audits, visual-change monitoring and an MCP server for AI agents all included on every plan, EU-hosted, from $9/mo with a free tier of 100 captures a month. ScreenshotOne and ApiFlash are capable API-first options — compare each provider's current pricing and the features you actually need.
ScreenshotInk includes the screenshot API plus the tools, monitoring and an MCP server on every plan and starts at $9/mo with 100 free captures a month, so for many teams it works out cheaper at the same volume. Always verify both providers' current pricing for your usage before switching.
ScreenshotInk ships a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.screenshotink.com/mcp with five tools, so Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT can capture, compare and audit pages directly — and the captured image comes back inline for same-turn reasoning. Add it as a custom connector, or run it locally with npx @screenshotink/mcp.
ScreenshotInk's free tier gives 100 captures a month with no credit card, and the browser tools (full-page screenshot, responsive tester, Lighthouse, sitemap) are free to try without signup. Compare free-tier limits across providers for the volume you need.
API, tools, monitoring and an MCP server on every plan — from $9/mo, with 100 free captures and no card.
