Where ScreenshotCore goes further

Features UrlBox doesn't offer, or locks behind expensive plans. All included in ScreenshotCore from day one.

Video recording, on every plan

MP4, GIF, WebM output included from the Starter plan. In UrlBox, video is locked behind the Business plan at $498/mo.

Stealth mode, on every plan

Playwright fingerprint spoofing included from the first paid plan. UrlBox only enables stealth on Ultra ($99/mo) and above.

Any S3-compatible storage

Route captures to any S3-compatible bucket on all plans. UrlBox restricts S3 to Amazon only on Hi-Fi, and any S3 only on Ultra ($99/mo)+.

HTML & Markdown source input

Send raw HTML or Markdown directly instead of a URL. UrlBox is URL-only, with no direct HTML or Markdown rendering.

Real free tier, 100 shots/mo forever

No time limit, no credit card. UrlBox offers a 7-day free trial only. After that, you pay from day one.

4× more screenshots at $49/mo

ScreenshotCore Growth: 20,000 shots for $49/mo. UrlBox Hi-Fi: 5,000 renders for the same $49/mo. Same price, four times the volume.

More volume. Lower cost.
