ApiFlash Pricing in India: Plans, Credits, and INR Costs
See ApiFlash’s published plans, how its screenshot quota works, and what Indian customers should verify before estimating the final INR cost.
Short answer: ApiFlash lists plans in US dollars, from a free tier with 100 screenshots per month to paid plans starting at $7 per month for 1,000. Its public pricing page does not confirm an India-specific INR price or the final amount charged at checkout. Treat “credits” as shorthand: the published plan allowance is measured in screenshots, and ApiFlash says cached and failed screenshots do not count.
If you are buying from India, use the listed USD price to compare tiers, then confirm the checkout currency, taxes and any card issuer conversion costs before subscribing. Do not treat a rupee conversion from an exchange-rate calculator as ApiFlash’s official price.
ApiFlash plans and monthly screenshot allowances
ApiFlash’s public pricing page lists these monthly tiers:
| Plan | Displayed price | Monthly screenshots | Notable listed features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 | PNG, JPEG and WebP; full-page and mobile screenshots; ad blocking; cookie-banner hiding; S3 export |
| Lite | $7 | 1,000 | Formats and capture features above; basic support |
| Medium | $35 | 10,000 | Formats and capture features above; priority support |
| Large | $180 | 100,000 | Formats and capture features above; premium support |
| Custom Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Large-plan features, top-priority support, managed proxies and IP geolocation |
The Free plan is described as requiring no credit card. The paid self-serve plans step up from 1,000 to 10,000 to 100,000 monthly screenshots. Verify the live ApiFlash pricing page before purchasing because prices and plan details can change.
Does ApiFlash sell credits?
The public material reviewed describes a monthly screenshot quota or allowance; it does not establish a separate credit wallet. For plan comparisons, count the successful screenshots you expect to capture each month rather than assuming that “one credit” is a separately purchasable unit.
ApiFlash says its dashboard metrics count unique successful screenshots. Cached screenshots and failed screenshots do not consume the monthly quota. The available information does not establish fractional credits, paid overages or a way to roll unused quota forward, so check the account or checkout terms rather than assuming those options exist.
How quota warnings, exhaustion, and request limits work
ApiFlash says it emails a warning when usage reaches 80% of the monthly allowance. Once the quota is exhausted, the screenshot endpoint responds with HTTP 402. The API documentation also describes response headers X-Quota-Limit, X-Quota-Remaining and X-Quota-Reset, and a quota endpoint that reports the limit, remaining quota and reset time. Use those fields to monitor your own usage rather than relying only on a warning email.
Monthly quota is separate from request rate. ApiFlash’s documentation gives a rate limit of 20 requests per second with burst capacity of 400. Staying below the monthly screenshot allowance does not mean every request pattern will stay within the rate limit.
What does ApiFlash cost in INR?
The published prices are dollar-denominated. The reviewed pricing page, FAQ and terms do not say whether an India-based checkout displays or charges in INR or USD, how a conversion would be calculated, or what taxes and card issuer fees would apply to a particular customer. ApiFlash’s terms say subscriptions recur on monthly or yearly billing cycles, require a valid credit card for a paid subscription, and may be subject to taxes. The terms also allow plan fees to change with notice.
As a result, there is no source-backed fixed INR total to quote here. For a useful estimate:
- Choose the tier based on the number of unique successful screenshots you need in a billing month.
- Check the current displayed amount and billing interval on ApiFlash’s pricing page.
- Proceed to checkout while signed in and note whether the payable amount is shown in USD or INR.
- Check the displayed tax and total, then ask your card issuer about its foreign-currency conversion or markup if checkout charges in USD.
- Keep the checkout total and billing currency as the authoritative amount for your account.
Stripe provides general information about payments and currency conversion in India, but it does not reveal ApiFlash’s checkout configuration. A third-party currency conversion therefore remains an estimate, not the price ApiFlash has promised to charge.
Choosing a plan for your workload
| Expected monthly successful captures | Starting tier to evaluate | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 100 | Free | Whether its listed capture and export features cover your use |
| 101–1,000 | Lite | Basic support and whether the quota gives enough headroom |
| 1,001–10,000 | Medium | Priority support and expected month-to-month peaks |
| 10,001–100,000 | Large | Premium support and the cost of unused capacity in quieter months |
| Above 100,000 or with enterprise requirements | Custom Enterprise | Custom allowance, managed proxies, IP geolocation and quote terms |
This is a tier-selection guide, not a promise that usage above an allowance is automatically accepted. The reviewed sources do not confirm an overage price. If your volume can exceed the included quota, confirm what happens before relying on the API in a production workflow.
Compare more than the headline price: quota, support level, and whether you need S3 export, ad blocking, cookie-banner hiding, managed proxies or IP geolocation. If the plan’s included features do not fit, a higher tier is not automatically the answer; confirm availability and terms with ApiFlash.
Billing and subscription details for India buyers
- Billing interval: the terms describe recurring monthly or yearly subscription cycles.
- Payment method: the terms say a valid credit card is required for a paid subscription.
- Taxes: taxes may apply; check the checkout total for your account.
- Cancellation: ApiFlash’s FAQ says paid subscribers can unsubscribe through the dashboard. Check the account for the effective end date and any renewal timing.
- Price changes: the terms allow plan fees to change with notice, so revisit the published price when renewing or changing tiers.
Practical usage and cost checks
- Measure successful unique captures. Estimate volume from the captures that meet your workflow’s needs; cached and failed captures are excluded according to ApiFlash’s FAQ.
- Allow headroom. A month with more pages, retries that succeed, or a larger batch can push usage closer to quota. Monitor the remaining-quota header or quota endpoint.
- Separate rate from quota. Spread bursts if your request rate approaches the documented 20 requests per second, even when monthly quota remains.
- Plan for quota exhaustion. Decide how your application handles HTTP 402 so a quota boundary does not silently break a downstream job.
- Record the payable amount. Store the checkout currency and total for budget reviews; do not substitute a static INR conversion for the amount shown at purchase.
Troubleshooting quota and billing questions
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP 402 from screenshot endpoint | Monthly screenshot quota has been exhausted | Check remaining quota and reset time; wait for reset or review the available plan options. |
| Usage differs from raw request count | Dashboard counts unique successful screenshots; cached and failed captures do not count | Compare successful unique captures and cache behavior rather than counting every HTTP call as billable quota. |
| Rate errors despite quota remaining | Request rate can exceed the separate documented limit | Throttle concurrency and honor the 20 requests per second rate and burst capacity of 400. |
| INR total differs from a currency calculator | Checkout currency, conversion timing, taxes or issuer fees may differ from the estimate | Use the checkout total and confirm foreign-currency charges with the issuer. |
| Expected overage does not appear | Public sources reviewed do not document overage billing | Do not assume extra captures are accepted at a known price; contact ApiFlash or select an appropriate allowance. |
| Unexpected renewal or charge timing | Subscription is recurring on its billing cycle | Review the subscription status and renewal date in the dashboard; use its cancellation control if needed. |
ScreenshotNeo as an alternative to try first
If you are comparing screenshot APIs, ScreenshotNeo is the first alternative to evaluate: it removes cookie and consent banners, newsletter popups and chat widgets before capture, bills only clean shots, and its paid plans start at $5 for 3,000 screenshots.
One GET request returns a screenshot or PDF. For example, this cURL request saves a WebP screenshot of Stripe:
curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webpSee the ScreenshotNeo API documentation for request options and setup. ScreenshotNeo also offers Python and Node.js examples, an MCP server for AI agents, async and bulk capture, and a usage API. Its plan pricing is 1,000 free shots per month with no card, then $5 for 3,000, $15 for 15,000, $39 for 60,000, $99 for 250,000 and $249 for 1,000,000; yearly billing gives two months free, and every feature is on every plan.
FAQ
Are ApiFlash’s listed prices guaranteed in INR?
No. The public plan prices are shown in dollars, and the reviewed sources do not specify the currency or final total for an India-based checkout.
Does a cached screenshot use quota?
ApiFlash says cached screenshots do not count toward monthly quota.
When does ApiFlash warn that quota is nearly used?
Its FAQ says it emails at 80% of the plan’s monthly allowance.
Can I cancel a paid plan?
The FAQ says paid subscribers can unsubscribe from the dashboard. Check the account for timing and renewal details.
Is the 20 requests-per-second limit the monthly allowance?
No. It is a separate request-rate limit; the plan allowance is measured monthly in screenshots.
