Honest, feature-by-feature comparisons against the most popular screenshot API services. See what we do differently, and where we do it better.
The main screenshot API alternatives are ScreenshotOne, UrlBox, and Browserless, each with different trade-offs around features, pricing, and infrastructure. If you need the best screenshot API for video recording, Bring-Your-Own-S3, or advanced PDF, ScreenshotCore is a fully managed option that covers all three. Pick a comparison below for a full breakdown.
ScreenshotCore covers what ScreenshotOne lacks: native video recording, advanced PDF controls, and Bring-Your-Own-S3 storage on every paid plan.
UrlBox handles basic captures well, but doesn't support video output, HTML/Markdown input, or Bring-Your-Own-S3. ScreenshotCore covers all of it.
Browserless is a general browser automation platform. ScreenshotCore is a purpose-built screenshot API: one REST call, no Puppeteer, instant output.
Features most competitors don't offer, or only partially support.
MP4, WebM, GIF output with auto-scroll. ScreenshotOne and UrlBox don't offer video natively.
Route every capture to your own S3 bucket. Most competitors don't support this at all.
Custom paper sizes, per-side margins, landscape mode, fit-to-one-page. Other APIs offer basic PDF export at best.
Anti-detection fingerprint spoofing on every request. Most competitors charge extra or require manual configuration.
GET params or JSON POST. Works with any language without an SDK. No SDK lock-in.
No seat fees, no tier unlocks, no hidden add-ons. Full features on all paid plans.
100 free captures per month. No credit card. Same REST API shape as every alternative.
