Competitor figure from published pricing, September 2026 — verify current pricing on their site before deciding.

• Three outputs, one key: screenshots (PNG/JPEG, full page), PDFs (URL or inline HTML, A4/Letter), and 1200×630 OG images.
• Byte caching included: repeats serve from cache with X-Cache: HIT; ttl=0 forces a fresh render.
• Self-serve everything: Google sign-in, up to 10 revocable API keys, usage dashboard, and a customer billing portal — no sales call.
• Hard quotas, no surprise bills: past 50,000 the API returns HTTP 429 until reset. Overage billing is not a thing here.

1. Sign in and mint a key on your profile. 2. Point screenshot calls at GET /v1/screenshot with Authorization: Bearer sk_live_… and url, width, height, full_page, format query params. 3. Watch GET /v1/usage (unmetered) to confirm volumes. Full reference in the docs.

If ScreenshotOne is embedded in your pipeline and the bill is comfortable, stay — migrations have their own cost. If you are starting a new project, paying per-screenshot at volume, or want PDFs and OG images without a second vendor, the free tier (1,000 requests/month) is the cheapest way to compare output quality head to head.
