Where ScreenshotOne is the better choice

ScreenshotOne is a mature, well-documented API with a large feature set, SDKs for many languages, and features like caching and ad and cookie-banner blocking. Failed and cached screenshots don't count against your quota. If you render a steady, high volume every month, a subscription with included volume is a reasonable deal.

When Shotmint fits better

Your usage is low, irregular, or seasonal: a side project, an internal tool, a monthly report run, or a prototype. At 2,000 renders, ScreenshotOne Basic costs $17 every month whether you use it or not. Shotmint is a one-time €5 for 2,000 renders that stay valid until you use them.

What Shotmint does

• GET /v1/screenshot: PNG, JPEG or WebP screenshots of any URL, with full-page capture, custom viewport, retina scale, a single-element selector, dark mode, transparent backgrounds (omit_background), ad and cookie-banner blocking (block_ads), and hide_selectors.
• POST /v1/pdf: PDFs from a URL or raw HTML, with format, landscape, margins, and backgrounds.
• GET /v1/og: 1200×630 Open Graph cards from a title and subtitle, with signed public URLs you can put straight in an og:image tag.
• A failed render never costs a credit. Every response includes an X-Credits-Remaining header.
• A real headless Chromium renders every page, so modern CSS, web fonts, and JavaScript work.

Shotmint is a new, small service. It doesn't have SDKs, integrations, or enterprise plans yet. If you need those, ScreenshotOne may suit you better. If you want an API key in 10 seconds and to pay only for what you use, try it.
