ScreenshotCore vs UrlBox

UrlBox is a capable screenshot service. But at $49/mo you get 4× more screenshots with ScreenshotCore, plus video, stealth mode, and HTML input that UrlBox either doesn't offer or locks behind expensive plans.

What UrlBox is missing

Features absent or only available on expensive UrlBox plans — all included on every ScreenshotCore plan.

Video recording, on every plan

MP4, GIF, WebM output included from the Starter plan. In UrlBox, video is locked behind the Business plan at $498/mo.

Stealth mode, on every plan

Playwright fingerprint spoofing included from the first paid plan. UrlBox only enables stealth on Ultra ($99/mo) and above.

Any S3-compatible storage

Route captures to any S3-compatible bucket on all plans. UrlBox restricts S3 to Amazon only on Hi-Fi, and any S3 only on Ultra ($99/mo)+.

HTML & Markdown source input

Send raw HTML or Markdown directly instead of a URL. UrlBox is URL-only, with no direct HTML or Markdown rendering.

More generous free trial — 300 shots + 50 videos

7-day free trial, no credit card required. 300 screenshots and 15 video captures included. UrlBox's trial gives you fewer captures and no video recording.

4× more screenshots at $49/mo

ScreenshotCore Pro: 20,000 shots for $49/mo. UrlBox Hi-Fi: 5,000 renders for the same $49/mo. Same price, four times the volume.

Pricing, side by side

More shots at every tier — and video is included from $12/mo, not locked at $498/mo.
