ApiFlash competes on being simple and inexpensive, and at some volumes it is cheaper than we are. That is a fact about the tables, not an argument we can talk around — so it is on this page rather than in a footnote.
Sticker price decides it. At 1,000 and at 10,000 screenshots their published table is the lower one, as of the date on the card below.
Failed renders and repeat captures are eating that difference. Neither is billable here, and the error codes stay stable across releases.
What moving looks like: Change the base URL and key, map the options — the names and defaults are ours — then price your own mix of cache hits and failures against both tables.

Check how each vendor counts a failed render before comparing headline tiers — it moves the effective price more than the tier does. Our answer is in the error catalog: no code is billable, and the tests assert it.
Repeat captures of the same render spec are free and never leak between accounts. Pages captured on a schedule get cheaper.
The error_code is the contract and the HTTP status derives from it. Client behaviour written against the codes survives our releases.
Submit, receive a request id, get a signed webhook. Redelivery is safe because the ledger constraint makes it safe, not because you deduplicate.
Every number in this table is computed from the published plans — failures and organization-scoped cache hits are removed before the plan is chosen, because they are not billable.
| Scenario | Billable successes | Smallest included plan | Published monthly price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 screenshots per month | 8,820 | Growth | $47.00 |
Assumes 10% cache hits and 2% failures. Change either assumption and the billable count changes with it — that is the point of charging for success.
These figures are quoted from each vendor's own pricing page, with the date we last checked it. They are not converted to our billing unit, because they do not measure the same thing.
Simplicity and low cost on top of AWS Lambda.
