ScreenshotOne alternative

A ScreenshotOne alternative with every limit published

PageCapture is an independent implementation of the same core job: turn a webpage into a production-ready artifact. Compare the parts your integration depends on before moving traffic.

Stay where you are if

Your integration works and nobody is asking it for anything new. Parity by itself is not a reason to migrate.

Move here if

You want the limits, the error codes and the billing rule published before you sign up — and failed captures off the invoice.

What moving looks like: Change the base URL and key, map the option names against the reference, then run your ten hardest pages through both and compare the artifacts.

Sync or async delivery

Receive bytes directly, poll a durable request, store in S3 or accept a signed webhook — without changing the render options.

Billing after success

A credit is recorded only after the requested artifact succeeds. Failed requests and organization-scoped cache hits are not charged.

Error codes are the contract

The error_code is stable and the HTTP status is derived from it — including 400 for authentication, quota and rate limit, so a client that treats 401 as 'refresh the credential' does not start seeing 401 from us.

Our limits, stated plainly

Signed links can carry an optional expires, with a maximum validity. IP location and GPU rendering are entitled on paper but not serving traffic here yet — and that is on the pricing page, not buried in a footnote.

What this costs here

Priced on successful captures that miss cache

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.

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.

Questions this raises

Is PageCapture affiliated with ScreenshotOne?

No. PageCapture is an independent product with its own implementation. ScreenshotOne is a trademark of its owner and is mentioned only to describe the comparison people are searching for.

Is it a drop-in replacement?

Do not assume that. The concepts and many option names are familiar, but you should map the documented contract, change the base URL and key, then validate your own representative pages before shifting production traffic.

Do I have to rename my parameters?

Ours are the published names — viewport_mobile, full_page_slice_height, block_banners_by_heuristics — and they do not change inside a major version. A parameter renamed for taste is an adoption bug, so we rename none. Map yours against the options reference and you will know the size of the diff before you start.

How large is the API surface I have to learn?

Four endpoints: take, animate, bulk and usage. OpenAPI 3.1 is the source of truth for every option and every error, so the reference cannot drift from what the API validates.

What should I compare first?

Start with the pages that are hardest for your current pipeline: long pages, authenticated views, custom fonts, lazy content, webhooks and storage. Then compare errors, rate limits and the billing result — not only the final PNG. Run both providers against that fixture set and move traffic gradually: no compatibility claim replaces the test.

What is missing today?

There is no managed proxy pool behind ip_country_code and no GPU pool behind request_gpu_rendering, and checkout is not wired to a merchant of record yet. If your migration depends on any of those, this is not the moment to move.

How do I know a capture was charged?

Every request carries a billable status in the log and in GET /v1/requests/{id}, backed by a ledger entry that cannot exist without a successful, non-cached capture behind it. Reconcile with GET /v1/usage before and after your test batch.
