The honest Urlbox alternative.

Yes, if your screenshots are straightforward and you want more of them for the money: our $49 Pro plan includes 10,000 renders against 5,000 on Urlbox’s Hi-Fi plan, and the same account also renders templates and PDFs. Urlbox is the deeper, dedicated screenshot API — ad and cookie-banner blocking, proxies, video and many more render options — and for hard-to-capture sites it is the better choice.

MostlyRender: Free 100 renders a month, Starter $19 (2,000), Pro $49 (10,000) and Scale $149 (50,000); one screenshot is one render. Urlbox in our October 2026 review: Lo-Fi $19 (2,000 renders, meant for sites you own, with low-quality captures of third-party sites), Hi-Fi $49 (5,000), Ultra $99 (15,000), Business from $495 a month plus $3 per 1,000 renders, and Enterprise from $3,000. Check their current pricing — this reflects our last review (October 2026).

Urlbox says it won’t cut off your service: past your plan’s renders you are moved to the next tier, with email alerts at 80%, 90% and 100% of usage. On a MostlyRender paid plan you stay on your plan and the extra renders are billed at $3–$5 per 1,000. Only our Free plan stops, at 100 a month.

For straightforward captures, yes: POST /v1/screenshots takes a URL, viewport size, fullPage, a retina scale up to 3 and PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF output, synchronously or async with a signed webhook. Urlbox is ahead on depth: ad and cookie-banner blocking, managed proxies, MP4 and WebM video, AVIF, SVG and Markdown output, custom JavaScript and CSS, waiting for a selector, dark mode, S3 and Azure storage, and capture of all third-party sites on its higher plans.

Yes — 100 renders a month, forever, no card. Urlbox has no recurring free plan; in our October 2026 review it offered a 7-day free trial without a card.
