Cloudinary Website Screenshot API Pricing in India: Free and Paid Usage
Cloudinary lists URL2PNG screenshot plans from 50 free captures to 50,000 for $200/month. Learn how to budget in India and compare ScreenshotNeo.
Cloudinary’s relevant website screenshot feature is the URL2PNG Website Screenshots add-on. Its published monthly quota ranges from 50 free screenshots to 50,000 for $200. These are dollar prices on Cloudinary’s page, not confirmed India-specific INR totals: the reviewed sources do not establish currency conversion, taxes, or final settlement currency. Check the price shown in your account before subscribing.
Keep the screenshot add-on’s screenshot count separate from Cloudinary’s Image & Video API plan credits. Cloudinary publishes those as separate meters, and the reviewed pages do not confirm whether URL2PNG captures also consume base-plan credits. [URL2PNG Website Screenshots add-on]
1. Cloudinary URL2PNG screenshot prices
Cloudinary’s add-on page lists the following monthly screenshot tiers:
| Plan | Screenshots per month | Listed monthly price | Arithmetic price per listed screenshot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 50 | Free | — |
| Bronze | 1,000 | $6 | $0.006 |
| Silver | 5,000 | $30 | $0.006 |
| Gold | 15,000 | $75 | $0.005 |
| Titanium | 50,000 | $200 | $0.004 |
The per-screenshot figures are simple division of the listed monthly price by the included quota. They are not a claim about the price of an individual overage capture. Cloudinary says larger plans are available by contacting it. The add-on is described as capturing public web pages, applying Cloudinary image transformations to the screenshot, and delivering the generated image through Cloudinary. [Cloudinary URL2PNG add-on]
2. What the prices mean for customers in India
The published table is in US dollars. The reviewed Cloudinary pages do not specify the INR conversion, India-specific taxes, or whether the add-on is charged in a localized currency. Do not treat a converted estimate as your final payable total. Check the amount, currency, taxes, billing interval, and payment method presented during account checkout or confirm them with Cloudinary.
Cloudinary documents major credit cards and digital wallets where available for self-service payments, but that information does not establish which methods are eligible for a particular Indian account or what currency its issuer will settle. [Cloudinary billing and plans]
3. Screenshot quotas and Cloudinary credits are separate budgets
Cloudinary’s Image & Video API plans use credits for transformations, storage, and bandwidth. The URL2PNG add-on has its own published screenshot-count table. Because the reviewed pages do not expressly say whether captures consume base-plan credits, budget those meters separately unless Cloudinary confirms the relationship for your account.
| Image & Video API plan | Published price | Monthly credits |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 25 |
| Plus | $99 monthly or $89/month yearly | 225 |
| Advanced | $249 monthly or $224/month yearly | 600 |
| Advanced Extra | $549 monthly or $494/month yearly | 1,350 |
| Pro | $1,099 monthly or $989/month yearly | 2,750 |
| Enterprise | Custom pricing | Custom |
These are platform-plan figures, not screenshot add-on prices. Cloudinary says one credit represents 1,000 transformations, 1 GB of storage, or 1 GB of image bandwidth. On Free, a credit also corresponds to 1 GB video bandwidth; self-service paid plans provide 2 GB video bandwidth per credit. Actual use can combine resource types.

4. How Cloudinary counts usage
The plan you use affects the measurement window for platform transformations and bandwidth:
- Free, Plus, Advanced, and Advanced Extra: transformation and bandwidth use is counted over a rolling 30-day window. The figures update daily, rather than resetting on the first day of each calendar month. Storage is a snapshot of currently stored assets.
- Pro PAYG and Enterprise: transformations and bandwidth use a billing usage month.
Cloudinary says add-ons are billed separately from base-plan credits and follow the account billing cycle; an add-on started mid-cycle may be prorated. That describes add-on billing generally. The published pages reviewed do not establish whether the URL2PNG screenshot counter draws from Image & Video API credits. [Billing and plans] [Billing]
5. Choose a tier from capture volume
- Estimate successful captures in a month. Count the pages your application will request, including recurring refreshes. Keep a separate allowance for retries and development use.
- Match the estimate to the screenshot quota. The listed tiers cover 50, 1,000, 5,000, 15,000, and 50,000 captures per month. Contact Cloudinary for a larger published-plan requirement.
- Calculate a comparable listed unit price. Divide the plan price by its monthly quota. On the displayed tiers, this is $0.006 per included capture for Bronze and Silver, $0.005 for Gold, and $0.004 for Titanium.
- Check your India checkout total. Verify currency, taxes, prorating, billing date, and accepted payment method for your account. The public pages are not enough to calculate an INR total.
- Budget Cloudinary platform credits separately. If your workflow also transforms, stores, or delivers media, estimate those uses against the base plan’s credit pool. Ask Cloudinary whether your account’s screenshot add-on has any credit interaction before combining the estimates.
6. When another screenshot API may fit better
If you need a screenshot API with published plans in dollars, ScreenshotNeo is the first alternative to consider: it offers 1,000 screenshots a month free and paid plans starting at $5 for 3,000. Its approach can also reduce cleanup work: consent banners are accepted and removed along with 60+ known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets, and only clean shots are billed. Each response reports the page verdict and billing status in headers. It also provides an MCP server for AI agents.
Pricing alone does not settle which service fits. Compare the required capture and delivery workflow, quota, image processing needs, and India checkout total. ScreenshotNeo’s plans are published in dollars too; verify the amount and payment details available to your account.
7. Or skip the browser setup
ScreenshotNeo returns a screenshot in one GET request. For setup, parameters, and response details, see the ScreenshotNeo API documentation.
curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webpimport requests
r = requests.get("https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot", params={"access_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "url": "https://stripe.com"}, timeout=90)
open("shot.webp", "wb").write(r.content)const q = new URLSearchParams({ access_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://stripe.com' });
const res = await fetch(`https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot?${q}`);Cookie banners, popups, and chat widgets are removed before the shot. Bot checks, blank pages, and failed loads are never billed. An MCP server lets AI agents take screenshots. The Free plan includes 1,000 screenshots a month with no card; paid plans start at $5 for 3,000. Sign up free and get 1,000 screenshots a month with no card.
8. Troubleshooting pricing and usage questions
My INR estimate differs from the checkout amount
The public pricing pages reviewed show dollar prices and do not define the conversion or India taxes. Use the account checkout amount as the quote for that account, and confirm the currency and tax line items before subscribing.
The screenshot add-on and base plan seem to show different usage
They describe different meters: screenshot count for URL2PNG and credits for transformations, storage, and bandwidth. Do not add them together or assume captures use credits without account-specific confirmation from Cloudinary.
The monthly credit figure did not reset on the first
For Free, Plus, Advanced, and Advanced Extra, transformation and bandwidth are measured in a rolling 30-day window and update daily. Storage is a current-asset snapshot. Pro PAYG and Enterprise use the billing usage month for transformations and bandwidth.
An add-on started mid-cycle costs less than a full month
Cloudinary says add-ons may be prorated when subscribed mid-cycle. Confirm the next billing date and recurring price shown in the account.
I need more than 50,000 screenshots
Cloudinary says larger URL2PNG plans are available by contacting it. Request the quota and billing details directly; the public page does not list a price for larger volumes.
9. FAQ
Is Cloudinary’s free screenshot plan the same as its free Image & Video API plan?
No. The URL2PNG add-on lists 50 screenshots per month free. The platform Free plan separately lists 25 monthly credits.
Does URL2PNG screenshot pricing include an India tax-inclusive amount?
The reviewed public page does not publish an India-specific, tax-inclusive INR price. Check the amount displayed for your account.
Can I calculate an exact total for screenshots plus Cloudinary credits from the public prices?
Not reliably. The pages publish separate add-on and platform-plan meters but do not establish whether URL2PNG captures consume base-plan credits. Confirm that connection and your account’s local billing details with Cloudinary.
What does URL2PNG do with the captured page?
Cloudinary describes capturing public web pages, applying image transformations, and delivering the resulting screenshots through Cloudinary.
