Price per 1,000 images, free tiers, formats, template models and AI-assistant support for the APIs people actually compare. Every competitor price comes from its own pricing page.
We make Shareglint, one of the products in this table. Read it with that in mind: our own weaknesses are listed below, and a dash means we did not check, not that a feature is missing.

"—" = not checked on 2026-10-24. Prices in USD from each vendor's public pricing page on that date; "$ per 1,000" is the entry paid plan divided by its quota.
Best for: Developers who keep the card as HTML and CSS (or build a simple one in the visual editor) and want a free tier that renews every month — $4.50 per 1,000 images on Starter.
Watch out: A young product with a smaller template library and a simpler editor than Bannerbear, no video, and a watermark on the free plan.
Best for: Teams without a developer: a polished layer editor, many marketing-tool integrations, and credits that roll over.
Watch out: Only trial credits for free, and designs are rebuilt in their editor rather than taken from your HTML.
Best for: HTML generated fresh on your side for every image, plus screenshots and PDFs, from a provider with a long track record.
Watch out: Built around sending HTML with each request; ready-made OG templates are not its focus.
Best for: Designs that live in Canva or Figma, Webflow, Framer or Shopify integrations, and an MCP server.
Watch out: A higher price per image than the cheapest APIs in this table.
Best for: Fast HTML-to-image rendering with batch jobs and template variables.
Watch out: We did not check its editor, MCP support or OG-from-URL features — the dashes mean exactly that.
Best for: Next.js and Vercel sites where the card fits in JSX and flexbox — free, and it runs next to your pages.
Watch out: A subset of CSS, a 500 KB bundle limit, your own compute, and JavaScript runtimes only.
Best for: Screenshots of web pages at scale. A screenshot API rather than an OG template tool — listed to compare prices.
Watch out: No OG templates: you design and host the page you take a screenshot of.
Best for: Volume: one of the lowest prices per image in this table.
Watch out: We did not verify its formats, editor or integrations.
Best for: Link previews fixed automatically, without designing templates yourself.
Watch out: A higher price per image than most APIs here; we did not verify its formats or integrations.
