VisualScraper Pricing for Scheduled Website Screenshots

Direct answer: VisualScraper’s pricing for scheduled website screenshots could not be verified from an accessible official pricing source. The available evidence does not establish that the VisualScraper service found in search results is a scheduled screenshot monitor, so there is no reliable VisualScraper plan price to report.

A separate service, Site-Shot, publishes scheduled-capture plans starting at $5 per month. Those are Site-Shot prices, not VisualScraper prices. If you meant VisualScraper’s web extraction product, or another product with a similar name, confirm the exact provider before choosing a plan.

What is known about VisualScraper?

The available search result describes a product named VisualScraper as a web scraping and image extraction tool. It does not clearly identify it as a website screenshot monitoring service, and the attempted direct opens of visualscraper.com returned errors in the research environment. This does not prove that no screenshot product or price exists; it means a price could not be confirmed from the sources reviewed.

Do not rely on approximate prices from third-party descriptions for a purchase decision. Verify the vendor identity and the current plan terms on an official page, especially if you need recurring captures, retained history, alerts, or a particular schedule frequency.

Scheduled screenshot pricing from a separate service: Site-Shot

Site-Shot publishes these scheduled-capture limits and monthly prices. They are included as a clearly labeled alternative for readers who need scheduled website screenshots; they are not VisualScraper plans. The vendor’s published terms were checked on October 3, 2026, and may change.

Site-Shot plan	Monthly price	Scheduled captures per week	Approximate daily pages at one capture per day
X-Lite	$5	35	5
Lite	$15	175	25
Optimal	$50	900	About 128
Professional	$500	12,000	About 1,714

Site-Shot also lists monthly screenshot allowances of 2,000, 10,000, 50,000, and 625,000 for those plans, respectively. A schedule can be constrained by more than one quota: scheduled runs count against the weekly scheduling cap and the monthly capture allowance, while saved images use storage capacity. Deleting saved images frees storage but does not return capture credits. See the provider’s scheduled screenshot feature page and pricing page for its terms.

How to estimate your scheduled screenshot requirement

1. Count pages. Include every URL that needs its own capture, including language variants, logged-in views, or separate pages in a workflow.
2. Choose a cadence. A daily capture of one page uses seven scheduled captures per week. Hourly monitoring uses up to 168 per page per week if it runs continuously.
3. Estimate monthly volume. Multiply the number of pages by captures per day and by the number of days in your billing month. For example, 20 pages captured daily need about 600 captures in a 30-day month.
4. Check schedule and capture caps separately. A plan may allow enough monthly captures but too few scheduled captures per week, or the reverse.
5. Account for storage and retention. Decide how many historical images you need and how long to keep them. Stored-image capacity can constrain a schedule even when capture credits remain.
6. Check what “change detection” means. A percentage of changed visual area can tell you that a page looks different without identifying the changed text or element.
7. Check operational fit. Confirm schedule timezone, alert channels, missed-run behavior, and whether schedules can be created through an API if you need automation.

Site-Shot scheduling and monitoring details

According to Site-Shot’s feature page, schedules can run daily, on weekdays, or on selected days and hours. The finest cadence is one capture per hour, and schedule times use UTC. A missed run window is recorded as a gap rather than captured late.

Its comparison reports the percentage of shared image area that changed and changes in page height. It measures the amount of visual change rather than identifying which text or page elements changed. Alerts are email-only, can be enabled per schedule, and are limited to one change email per schedule per day. Schedules are managed in the browser; the vendor says creating or editing them through an API is not available.

ScreenshotNeo: an alternative to try first

If your goal is to capture clean website screenshots through an API, try ScreenshotNeo first. It is a website screenshot API and MCP server from Yorker Media. A single GET request can return a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF. It is an on-demand capture API, so do not treat it as a scheduled monitoring product.

ScreenshotNeo accepts cookie and consent banners like a visitor and removes more than 60 known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets before capture; each cleanup step can be turned off. Only clean shots are billed: bot checks or CAPTCHAs, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits cost nothing, and responses identify the page verdict and billing status in headers. Its MCP server provides take_screenshot, get_page_info, and capture_pdf for AI agents using Claude, Cursor, or another MCP client.

To capture a page, send a GET request. Replace the example URL with the page you want to capture, and supply your API key. See the ScreenshotNeo API documentation for parameters and response details.

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()
with open("shot.webp", "wb") as image:
    image.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 image = Buffer.from(await res.arrayBuffer());
await import('node:fs/promises').then(fs => fs.writeFile('shot.webp', image));

ScreenshotNeo has 63 options, including full-page capture with lazy images loaded, CSS-selector element capture, dark mode, device presets and custom viewports, retina scale, PDF paper size and page ranges, HTML or CSS capture, custom CSS and JavaScript, click-before-capture, selector hiding, wait conditions, request blocking, custom headers and cookies, user agent, authorization, timezone and geolocation, transparency, image resizing, configurable cache TTL, signed image links, asynchronous jobs with signed webhooks, bulk capture for up to 100 URLs per call, a usage API, and an OpenAPI specification. Familiar parameter names from other screenshot APIs also work to make migration easier.

Plans are Free: 1,000 shots per month with no card; Starter: $5 for 3,000; Growth: $15 for 15,000; Pro: $39 for 60,000; Scale: $99 for 250,000; and Business: $249 for 1,000,000. Yearly billing gives two months free, and every feature is available on every plan.

Or skip the browser setup

Use ScreenshotNeo’s one-call API when you need a screenshot without setting up and maintaining a browser capture worker:

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

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. Create a free ScreenshotNeo account.

Troubleshooting pricing and schedule questions

Issue	Likely cause	What to do
You cannot find a VisualScraper screenshot plan	The product identity or intended service is unclear, and no accessible official price was verified.	Confirm the exact vendor and product URL with the provider before relying on a quote or entering payment details.
A plan’s weekly schedule limit looks smaller than expected	A daily page consumes seven weekly scheduled captures; hourly schedules consume substantially more.	Calculate pages multiplied by runs per week, then compare that number with the published schedule cap.
You have remaining capture credits but cannot retain more images	Capture allowance and stored-image capacity are separate limits.	Review retention and storage capacity; deleting images may free storage, but does not restore capture credits under Site-Shot’s stated terms.
A scheduled capture seems to have been skipped	The run window may have been missed. Site-Shot says it records a gap instead of running late.	Check the schedule history and UTC time setting, then adjust the run time or frequency.
An alert did not describe what changed	Site-Shot reports the amount of visual change, not changed text or individual elements; alerts are email-only and limited to one per schedule per day.	Open the corresponding captures and compare them directly, or choose a monitoring workflow that exposes the change detail and alert channels you require.
You need to create or edit schedules programmatically	Site-Shot says schedule management is browser-based and does not provide schedule creation or editing through an API.	Confirm that constraint against the current vendor documentation before adopting it; otherwise evaluate a provider with a documented scheduling API.

FAQ

Is VisualScraper the same service as Site-Shot?

No. The available research does not connect the two providers. Site-Shot’s prices must not be attributed to VisualScraper.

What VisualScraper plan should I buy?

No plan can be recommended on price evidence because a current official VisualScraper pricing source for scheduled screenshots was not verified. First confirm that the product is the screenshot service you intend to purchase.

Does ScreenshotNeo run scheduled captures?

The facts available here describe ScreenshotNeo’s capture API and MCP server, not a scheduling feature. Use it for on-demand captures or build scheduling in your own job runner; do not assume the Site-Shot schedule features apply.

Are the Site-Shot plan figures independent market research?

No. They are vendor-published prices and limits, verified on October 3, 2026, and may change.
