A long-running premium screenshot API with plans by rendering quality, from Lo-Fi captures of your own sites up to GPU and video on Ultra.
Urlbox has been at this for years and covers more ground than we do: Markdown and metadata extraction next to the image, 4K/5K retina, custom JavaScript, proxies, GPU rendering and video on Ultra, any S3-compatible storage, and request timeouts of up to 300 seconds for slow pages. Its cached Render Link hits stay free for 30 days, far longer than our cache window.
| What | Urlbox | Shareglint |
|---|---|---|
| Entry plan | Lo-Fi: $19 for 2,000 — your own sites; third-party sites as thumbnails only | Starter: $9 for 2,000 renders, any public site |
| Full-quality third-party pages | From Hi-Fi: $49 for 5,000 ($9.80 per 1,000) | Every plan, Free included (watermarked) |
| Free tier | None — a 7-day trial, no card | 100 renders a month, watermarked |
| Over the quota | Automatic upgrade to the next tier | Nothing automatic: HTTP 402, or a pack of 1,000 renders for $8 |
| Repeat requests | Cached Render Link hits are free; the cache lasts 30 days | The same URL and options are free for 24 h |
| Full page, element capture, ad and cookie blocking | Every plan | Every plan; a full page counts as 2 renders |
| Video and scrolling captures | From Ultra ($99) | Scrolling MP4 or GIF on every plan, 5 renders each |
| Content extraction | Markdown and OG metadata on every plan | Not offered: images, PDFs and videos only |
| Proxies, custom JS, storage | Proxies, custom JS and any S3-compatible storage from Ultra; S3 and webhooks from Hi-Fi | No custom JS and no bucket upload; webhooks yes |

How we computed it: for each volume, the cheapest public monthly plan that covers it, or a smaller plan plus its published overage, whichever is less (our extra images are counted in whole top-up packs). Monthly billing, before tax. Checked 2026-11-04. Every vendor side by side on the pricing page →
You capture slow or complex third-party pages, need custom JavaScript, proxies or extracted Markdown, and the Hi-Fi or Ultra price is fine.
You want full-quality captures of any public site from the cheapest plan, a free tier for testing, and OG templates on the same quota.
Swap the call to their API (or your own browser code) for one request to the screenshot endpoint: the page URL plus the options you used — full page, viewport or device, an element selector, cookie-banner and ad blocking. A viewport screenshot uses 1 of your monthly images, a full page 2.
