If you are doing compliance archiving or want to track competitor pricing over time, the screenshot API is something that you would use to scale up your image-capturing process.
With many available, I thought to pick some of the APIs that are new in the market and worth your attention.
For each API, I have tested them in their free plan & in the end, I have compared pricing & some features.
Let’s get started!
4 Best Screenshot APIs in 2025
Scrapingdog’s Screenshot API
Scrapingdog has a dedicated API to take Screenshots. This API is a new addition to our stack of web scraping APIs.
The basic plan starts at $40, where you can get data from 4000 screenshots at scale.. If you increase the plan, the cost of screenshotting reduces further.
You can integrate the API using the programming language of your choice or by using No-Code Integration Tools, too.
Here’s how the playground looks where you can test this API.

Screenshot One
ScreenshotOne is another API that has been the new but stable Screenshot API available in the market.
The API is dedicatedly to taking screenshots and has many parameters that you could use to scale up your process.
The pricing is decent too, it starts at $17 and gives you access to 2000 screenshots/month.
Here’s how the playground looks. I have tested it with the free credits it offers, and the API looks good.
Here’s the documentation you can refer to while using this screenshot-capturing API.
ScreenshotAPI.net
The next on our list of new screenshot APIs is screenshotone.net.
The API is good and is stable for scaling up, the documentation is good too.
The playground is good for testing the API You can quickly test it using it. They offer a 7-day free trial or 100 screenshots, whichever ends first.
After your free trial ends, you can go for the $9 plan that offers 1000 credits/screenshot. There are other plans too, that you can subscribe to.
CaptureKit
CaptureKit is the newest in our list of Screenshot APIs that can be used to scale your image-capturing process.
Looking at the documentation, it looks well structured, easy to understand.
One thing that stood out for CaptureKit was that it already has default device-specific screenshot capabilities. For example, you can take a screenshot of how your app looks on iPhone 14 to see if it fits the resolution right and is good for your app testing.
Tested some URLs on its playground, and the API looks good; they offer 100 credits to spin the API. The pricing starts at $7 & offers 1000 credits.
Comparison of All Screenshot APIs
Here’s a comparison table that you can refer to when choosing one of them:-
- Scrapingdog cost goes to $0.024/1K requests in higher-end plans
- ScreenshotOne & Screenshot.net can be used when you want screenshots with specific parameters
- CaptureKit is a new Screenshot API & has device-specific screenshot parameters available.
Conclusion
Every API looks the same on the surface; however, when scaling, you need to test & check for your specific use case.
The good thing is that each one offers a free trial, so you can spin them before committing to a paid plan.
