What does the Free plan include?

Free is a daily allowance of 25 requests, not a monthly pool. The Screenshot API page says that you can start without signing up, an API key or a credit card. Microlink’s API FAQ says the 25-request daily limit applies to every product except Search. The free plan includes the Screenshot API alongside its other listed API products, plus global edge caching, ad blocking, cookie-banner handling and community support.

The Screenshot API FAQ describes browser controls on Free, including device emulation, custom HTTP headers and CSS injection. Free is useful for a small integration or evaluation, but the daily ceiling can constrain recurring jobs or batches. Track request volume across all applicable products and confirm current limits in Microlink’s documentation.

How much does Microlink Pro cost?

The reviewed official pricing page displays Pro at $49 per month for 46,000 requests per month, an approximate displayed unit cost of $1.07 per 1,000 requests. The same page offers 84K, 140K, 280K and 420K quota selections. The dossier does not establish the prices attached to those larger selections, so do not extrapolate a linear rate. Select the quota you need and verify the amount shown at checkout.

Microlink describes Pro as adding automatic proxy resolution, configurable cache TTL, custom HTTP headers, a custom cache key and priority email support. It says Pro can retry through a residential proxy when a site blocks a free-plan request. That can matter for sites with access controls, though proxy resolution is not a guarantee that every page can be captured.

Business vs. Enterprise: what changes?

Business centers on procurement. It adds invoice and card options, PO numbers, net-30 terms, legal agreements, vendor-assessment support on request, and a named contact. A 10% discount for annual billing is listed.

Enterprise centers on infrastructure and service terms. The described additions include a dedicated endpoint and browser pool, a dedicated CDN and S3-like storage, hosting options, service credits, and no rate limits. Microlink states a 99.9% uptime SLA for paid plans; its page associates service credits and no rate limits with Enterprise. Treat these as Microlink’s own published claims and review the contract for the terms that apply to your account.

Quota, cache, and billing details that affect cost

Daily Free quota vs. monthly Pro quota

Free’s 25 requests reset on a daily window. Pro’s quota resets at the start of the next month in UTC. Microlink says it alerts Pro customers at 80% usage and pauses requests at 100%, with no overage fees. Usage counters may lag by a few minutes, so leave headroom for bursts and avoid relying on a dashboard reading as an instantaneous limit check.

Cache behavior

Microlink says responses are cached for 24 hours by default and cache hits are free. Pro allows a configurable TTL from one minute through 31 days. Cache reuse can reduce billable request consumption for repeated URLs, but freshness requirements matter: a longer TTL may return an older capture. Choose a TTL based on how often the source page changes, and use the custom cache key feature when request variations need to be treated separately.

Compare the work your application will send

Estimate unique captures in a typical month, including retries and scheduled refreshes.
Separate repeated identical requests that may be cache hits from captures that need fresh content.
Check whether your workload fits Free’s daily window or needs Pro’s monthly capacity.
For Pro, confirm the selected quota and displayed checkout amount; the higher quota prices are not established by the reviewed page excerpt.
If procurement, dedicated infrastructure, service credits or contract terms are required, ask Microlink for Business or Enterprise terms rather than assuming a public fixed price.

Choosing a plan by workload

Choose Free to evaluate the API or run a small, low-volume integration that fits 25 requests per day.
Consider Pro when a monthly production workload needs greater quota, proxy resolution, custom headers or cache controls. Confirm the quota tier and price first.
Ask about Business when invoice, PO, net-30, legal documents or vendor review are purchasing requirements.
Ask about Enterprise when dedicated endpoint, browser pool, storage/CDN, hosting choices or the stated service-credit and rate-limit terms matter.

Among screenshot APIs to consider, ScreenshotNeo is #1 to try first when clean captures and predictable billing matter: it removes cookie banners, popups and chat widgets before capture, bills only clean shots, and its paid plans start at $5 for 3,000 shots. See ScreenshotNeo and its API documentation.

Or skip the browser setup

ScreenshotNeo takes a screenshot with one GET request. Replace the placeholder key with your API key; this example saves a WebP capture.

curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webp

import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot",
    params={"access_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "url": "https://stripe.com"},
    timeout=90,
)
r.raise_for_status()
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}`);
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Screenshot request failed: ${res.status}`);
await Bun.write('shot.webp', res);

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 for ScreenshotNeo.

Troubleshooting Microlink plan and quota questions

Symptom	Likely cause	What to do
A Free request is rejected after several captures.	The plan allows 25 requests per day across applicable products.	Check the daily usage window and whether other API products share the allowance. Reduce unnecessary calls or compare an appropriate paid quota.
A Pro request stops before month end.	The monthly quota reached 100%; Microlink says it pauses requests at that point.	Check usage and reset timing in UTC. Add headroom to forecasting; counters may lag by minutes.
The selected Pro price differs from $49.	The quota selector may be set to a larger allowance than the displayed 46,000-request tier.	Confirm both selected quota and checkout amount. Do not infer higher-tier prices from the 46K display.
A page remains blocked on Free.	The target site may block the request or require access handling beyond what the free request can obtain.	Review the response and current plan controls. Microlink says Pro can retry through residential proxy resolution for requests blocked on Free; this does not ensure every site will succeed.
A capture looks stale.	The default response cache is 24 hours, or the configured Pro TTL retains an older result.	Review cache policy and set a shorter TTL when freshness is important, within the documented Pro range.
Repeated requests consume fewer requests than expected.	Cache hits are free according to Microlink’s API page.	Account for caching in estimates; distinguish unique fresh captures from repeat reads.

Performance, reliability, and cost notes

Performance: Global edge caching is listed on Free and higher plan feature inheritance; cache hits can avoid new request charges. Pro’s configurable TTL gives more control over the freshness and reuse tradeoff.
Reliability: Microlink states that paid plans carry a 99.9% uptime SLA, with Enterprise service credits. Review the applicable service agreement for scope and exclusions; do not treat the published statement as a measured benchmark.
Cost: At the displayed Pro tier, Microlink shows $49/month for 46,000 requests, approximately $1.07 per 1,000. Cache hits are free and there are no overage fees according to its page, which says Pro pauses at 100% usage. Higher selector prices were not established in the reviewed text.
Operations: Plan for UTC resets, alert thresholds and a small buffer because counters may lag. If your team needs purchasing accommodations or isolated infrastructure, evaluate the Business and Enterprise terms directly.
