ScreenshotAPI.net pricing: how much do screenshots cost?

ScreenshotAPI.net lists a 7-day trial with 100 screenshots, followed by monthly plans at $9 for 1,000 screenshots, $29 for 10,000, and $175 for 100,000. The plans also differ in request rate, features, and support. Promotions and prices can change, so confirm the live pricing page and checkout before subscribing.

ScreenshotAPI.net plans at a glance

Plan	Listed monthly price	Quota	Published rate limit	Published distinctions
Essential	$9	1,000 screenshots/month	20 requests/minute	Full-page screenshots; email and chat support; 2-business-day response time
Startup	$29	10,000 screenshots/month	40 requests/minute	Adds scrolling screenshots, video rendering, proxy support, and a custom storage bucket; email and chat support; 1-business-day response time
Business	$175	100,000 screenshots/month	80 requests/minute	Priority support and a custom feature request; email and video-meeting support; 8-hour response time

These are the listed monthly prices and distinctions in the research checked on October 3, 2026. The pricing page also presents crossed-out comparison prices and a limited-time 50% first-month offer. Treat that discount as a promotion, not a standing price. The provider also lists annual billing with two months free; do not assume it combines with the first-month offer.

How to choose a plan

1. Estimate monthly successful captures. Compare your expected volume with 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 screenshots, leaving room for growth and retries.
2. Check burst rate. The listed limits are 20, 40, and 80 requests per minute. A monthly allowance does not mean you can submit all requests at once.
3. Verify feature access. The pricing table distinguishes capabilities such as scrolling screenshots, video rendering, proxy support, and storage. It also lists format conversion, bulk capture, text/HTML extraction, timeout differences, and storage integrations. Confirm the live feature matrix for the exact option your workflow needs.
4. Compare support requirements. The table specifies different channels and response commitments by plan. If an integration depends on timely provider help, account for that distinction.
5. Compare billing cadence and terms. Annual billing is described as including two months free. Confirm renewal, cancellation, and upgrade terms before choosing it.

For a rough quota-only comparison, the listed prices average $0.009 per screenshot on Essential, $0.0029 on Startup, and $0.00175 on Business if the full monthly allowance is used. These are arithmetic ratios, not a promise that every request produces a billable screenshot or that every plan fits a particular workload.

Trial, usage, and failed captures

The 100 screenshots are described as a 7-day trial, not as a recurring free monthly allowance. The help center says failed screenshot attempts do not count toward plan quota. It describes cached usage in terms of unique and fresh screenshots, so check the current help guidance if cache behavior affects your estimate.

ScreenshotAPI.net says it sends usage emails at 80%, 90%, and 100% of the screenshot limit. Those alerts can help you monitor consumption, but they do not replace your own usage tracking or clarify what will happen after the limit is reached.

What happens when you exceed the limit?

The terms describe more than one possible outcome when monthly usage exceeds the plan limit: the service may return an error and stop further calls, or a per-screenshot amount may apply. Do not assume every account is handled the same way. Check the current terms for your plan and account, and contact the provider if overage behavior needs to be predictable.

The terms also say unused usage does not roll over. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled. Upgrades or downgrades can take effect immediately, with the new plan charged in full and no proration or credit for unused service. Read the current terms before changing plans mid-cycle.

Is ScreenshotAPI.net worth the price?

The useful comparison is not just price per screenshot. Match quota and request rate to your workload, then confirm that the plan includes the required rendering features, storage or proxy support, and support channel. A lower per-screenshot ratio on a larger plan only helps if you can use its allowance and need its capabilities.

If you are also comparing screenshot APIs, put ScreenshotNeo first to evaluate: it removes consent banners, newsletter popups, and chat widgets before capture, bills only clean shots, and its paid plans start at $5 for 3,000 screenshots.

Or skip the browser setup

ScreenshotNeo is a website screenshot API and MCP server. One GET request can return a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF. Its capture options include full-page and element screenshots, device and viewport settings, custom CSS and JavaScript, waits, request blocking, headers and cookies, caching, async jobs, and bulk capture. See the ScreenshotNeo API documentation for parameters and setup.

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}`);
const bytes = new Uint8Array(await res.arrayBuffer());
await import('node:fs/promises').then(fs => fs.writeFile('shot.webp', bytes));

Cookie banners, popups, and chat widgets are removed before the shot. Bot checks, blank pages, and failed loads are never billed; each response reports the page verdict and billing status. 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.

Common pricing and usage questions

Is the 100-screenshot offer free forever?

No. It is described as a 7-day trial with 100 screenshots, not a monthly free tier.

Do unused screenshots carry into the next month?

The terms say unused usage does not roll over.

Does a failed capture use quota?

The help center says failed screenshot attempts do not count. Check current plan guidance for how a particular failure or cached result is classified.

Can I rely on the advertised discount?

No. The first-month offer is described as limited time. Confirm the price shown at checkout, and do not assume it stacks with annual billing.

Will ScreenshotAPI.net always stop requests at the quota?

The terms allow more than one over-limit outcome, including an error that stops calls or a per-screenshot amount. Check the current terms that apply to your account.
