You pay for screenshots, not for CAPTCHAs.
Most screenshot APIs count a picture of a bot check as a successful render. We read every page before it counts, and every response tells you what happened in two headers.

The same 10,000 screenshots, per month
Seven other screenshot APIs charge $19.99 to $99 for 10,000 shots a month. We charge $15 for 15,000. Public prices from each company’s pricing page on 29 September 2026.
At the median you would pay $35 elsewhere for 10,000. Here it is $15, with 5,000 more, and blocked or blank captures are never billed.
One request, any language
A GET with your key and a URL returns the image. Everything else is optional, and the parameter names other screenshot APIs use work here too, so switching is mostly a change of host.
- PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF, from a URL or your own HTML
- 12 device presets, any size up to 3840 px, Retina up to 3×
- Full page up to 16,000 px, lazy images loaded first
- One element, a rectangle, or a thumbnail at any width
- Your CSS and JavaScript, clicks, hidden elements, dark mode
- Async jobs with signed webhooks, and bulk batches of 100
- Signed links you can put straight into an <img>

Questions
Anything else: hello@screenshotneo.com
What counts toward my plan?
Only a clean, freshly rendered screenshot. Bot checks, CAPTCHAs, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads and cache hits cost nothing. Every response says which it was in the X-Page-Verdict and X-Billed headers.
How do you remove cookie banners and popups?
Before the capture we accept the consent dialog the way a visitor would, remove more than 60 known consent platforms, then take away full-screen overlays, newsletter popups and chat widgets. Headers and navigation stay where they are. Every step can be turned off.
What happens when a site blocks automated browsers?
We wait and try once more, because many checks clear by themselves. If the site still refuses, you get an error that says so instead of a picture of a CAPTCHA, and it isn’t billed. With fallback=og you get the site’s own share image.
Can my own address or network be reached through you?
No. Every request the browser makes goes through a guard that resolves the address itself and refuses private, loopback and cloud-metadata addresses, including through redirects and iframes.
Do you keep my screenshots?
Only when you ask: with cache=true or a cache_ttl, and for JSON or async results, which stay downloadable for 24 hours. Each shot runs in its own browser context, so nothing from one capture reaches another.
Is there a free plan?
Yes: 1,000 screenshots every month with every feature, no card. Paid plans start at $5 for 3,000.
