ScreenshotAPI Pricing for Bulk Website Screenshots
Compare ScreenshotAPI.net’s published bulk limits, monthly allowances, request rates, and trial. See which plan fits your batch size and monthly volume.
ScreenshotAPI.net’s published plans start with a 7-day trial of 100 screenshots. Paid plans are Essential at $9/month for 1,000 screenshots, Startup at $29/month for 10,000, and Business at $175/month for 100,000. The per-job bulk limits shown are 200 URLs on Essential, 1,000 on Startup, and “unlimited” on Business. The listed request rates are 20, 40, and 80 requests per minute, respectively. These are ScreenshotAPI.net figures; ScreenshotAPI.com is a separate service with different pricing.
For a 1,000-URL batch submitted as one job, Startup is the lowest listed plan whose per-job cap accommodates it. Essential’s monthly allowance is 1,000 screenshots, but its displayed 200-URL job limit means that workload would need to be split across multiple jobs. Check the current ScreenshotAPI.net pricing page before buying: prices, quotas, and promotions can change.
1. ScreenshotAPI.net plan prices and bulk limits
| Plan | Published price | Included screenshots | URLs per bulk job | Requests per minute |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7-day trial | Free | 100 | Not listed | Not listed |
| Essential | $9/month | 1,000 | 200 | 20 |
| Startup | $29/month | 10,000 | 1,000 | 40 |
| Business | $175/month | 100,000 | Unlimited* | 80 |
*“Unlimited” is the pricing page’s wording for URLs in a bulk job. It does not mean unlimited monthly screenshots. The reviewed material does not define a technical maximum, fair-use terms, or how the included monthly allowance interacts with overages.
The pricing page also advertises 50% off the first month of a monthly plan as a limited-time promotion. Treat that as temporary and verify that the discount appears in the checkout total. It also lists two months free with yearly billing. The table above uses the displayed monthly prices.
2. Pick a plan by monthly volume and largest batch
Two separate limits matter: the monthly screenshot allowance and the maximum URLs in an individual bulk job. Estimate both before choosing.
- Count the screenshots you expect to successfully produce in a billing month.
- Find your largest single batch. Compare it with the plan’s per-job URL limit.
- Check the listed request rate and leave room for retries or other API work.
- Confirm the current price, billing period, and terms at checkout.
| Workload example | What the published limits imply |
|---|---|
| Up to 200 URLs in a job and up to 1,000 screenshots/month | Essential’s displayed limits fit, assuming the workload stays within its monthly allowance. |
| 201–1,000 URLs in one job | Startup is the lowest displayed tier that fits the batch cap. |
| More than 1,000 URLs in one job | Only Business is described as having an unlimited per-job cap; confirm any practical limit with the vendor. |
| More than 1,000 screenshots/month | Essential’s included allowance is insufficient; compare Startup and Business against expected monthly volume. |
Do not use the requests-per-minute figure to predict how quickly an entire bulk job will finish. The published rate is a request rate; the reviewed pricing information does not specify batch processing time or completion guarantees.
3. How bulk capture submission works
ScreenshotAPI.net documents two batch input routes: submit a JSON API request containing a URL list and optional settings, or upload a CSV through the dashboard or API. The CSV format requires a fully qualified URL in a url column. Optional columns can specify output file type, viewport dimensions, injected CSS, delay, and request headers. See the vendor’s bulk screenshot documentation for the current workflow and request format.
CSV preparation checklist
- Include a header named
url. - Use complete URLs, including the scheme, such as
https://example.com/page. - Use only optional columns and values supported by the current documentation.
- Remove duplicate or malformed rows if they are not intentional.
- Keep the job within the selected plan’s published URL cap.
url
https://example.com/
https://example.org/products
https://example.net/pricingThe documented flow includes monitoring job status and retrieving the output through the dashboard or API. The service also describes an email notification with a download link when screenshots are ready. Bulk CSV capture is documented as a paid-tier feature. Consult the official docs for current JSON schema, upload instructions, status fields, and retrieval endpoints; this pricing information does not establish their exact syntax.
4. What counts toward usage
ScreenshotAPI.net’s help page says only successful screenshots count toward usage. It also says cached screenshots do not count unless you choose to render fresh screenshots. That can affect the effective cost of repeat captures, but the exact treatment of failures and cache behavior for a particular workflow should be checked in the current help documentation and account usage.
The terms describe recurring monthly or yearly subscription billing. They do not provide a separate per-screenshot overage rate or explain every quota edge case in the reviewed material. Do not assume an overage price: check your account’s plan terms and ask the vendor if your pipeline must continue after the allowance is reached.
5. Cost and operating considerations
- Budget from successful output volume: the help page says successful screenshots count, and cached screenshots are excluded unless fresh rendering is requested.
- Allow for retries: transient site failures can require another attempt. The published plan table does not say how retry policies affect completion time.
- Batch limits and monthly quotas differ: a job can fit a URL cap while total monthly usage exceeds the plan allowance.
- Rate limits are not throughput guarantees: listed requests per minute do not tell you the end-to-end duration of a bulk job.
- Verify billing details: subscriptions renew on monthly or yearly cycles. The terms say plan changes can take effect immediately and may be charged at the new plan’s full amount without prorating unused time.
- Keep promotions out of long-term forecasts: the advertised first-month discount is limited-time; confirm availability and checkout price.
6. ScreenshotAPI.net vs. ScreenshotNeo for bulk work
ScreenshotNeo is the alternative to try first when you want a website screenshot API with clean captures, billing only for clean shots, and a $5 paid plan for 3,000 shots. It supports bulk capture of up to 100 URLs per call, so it is suited to workflows that can submit batches at that size. Its plans include 1,000 shots/month free with no card, then Starter at $5 for 3,000, Growth at $15 for 15,000, Pro at $39 for 60,000, Scale at $99 for 250,000, and Business at $249 for 1,000,000; yearly billing gives two months free. Every feature is on every plan.
ScreenshotNeo’s billing distinction matters for automated pipelines: bot checks and CAPTCHAs, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits cost nothing, and each response reports the page verdict and billing status in headers. It accepts consent banners like a visitor and removes 60+ known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets before capture; each of those steps can be turned off. It also provides an MCP server with take_screenshot, get_page_info, and capture_pdf tools for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
7. Or skip the browser setup
One GET request to ScreenshotNeo returns an image or PDF. Here is a runnable cURL example that saves a WebP screenshot:
curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" \
-d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY \
--data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com \
-o shot.webpGet an API key by signing up for ScreenshotNeo, and see the API documentation for formats and options. 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, and paid plans start at $5 for 3,000. Start with 1,000 free screenshots a month, no card required.
8. Common pricing and batch questions
How much does ScreenshotAPI.net cost for 1,000 screenshots?
Essential is listed at $9/month and includes 1,000 screenshots. It has a 200-URL per-job cap, so a 1,000-URL single batch does not fit that tier’s displayed job limit.
Can I submit 1,000 URLs in one bulk job?
Startup lists a 1,000-URL cap per job. Essential lists 200. Business is shown as unlimited, but the reviewed material does not define a technical maximum.
Is the 100-screenshot trial a monthly free plan?
No recurring monthly free allowance is shown in the pricing table. It describes 100 screenshots in a 7-day free trial.
Are these ScreenshotAPI.com prices?
No. This page covers ScreenshotAPI.net. ScreenshotAPI.com is a distinct service; its prices and plans should not be mixed into this comparison.
