Comparison
A ScreenshotOne alternative for the workloads most apps actually run
The core capture features, about a quarter of the monthly cost at like-for-like volume, and a hard cap instead of a per-render overage bill.

What stays the same
For the requests most applications actually make, the two APIs cover the same ground:
- URL or raw HTML in; PNG, JPEG or WebP out
- Full page, element, region and viewport captures
- Retina output, device presets, dark mode, transparent background
- Block ads and trackers; hide cookie banners and arbitrary selectors
- Headers, cookies and authorization for pages behind a login
- Wait for a selector or for network idle
- PDFs with paper sizes, margins, headers and footers
- Signed render URLs a crawler can fetch directly
The full comparison holds the complete feature table.
Switching: the parameter cheat sheet
Most requests translate line for line. The names below are from ScreenshotOne's published options, mapped to ours:
| ScreenshotOne | Renderwolf | Notes |
|---|---|---|
viewport_width / viewport_height | width / height | |
image_quality | quality | |
full_page | full_page | |
dark_mode | dark_mode | |
block_ads | block_ads | |
block_cookie_banners | block_cookie_banners | we hide banners; we never click consent for anyone |
hide_selectors | hide_selectors | |
wait_for_selector | wait_for_selector | |
delay | delay_ms | milliseconds, not seconds |
timeout | timeout_ms | milliseconds; clamped to the service ceiling |
device_scale_factor | device_scale_factor | |
clip_x, clip_y, clip_width, clip_height | clip: { x, y, width, height } | |
omit_background | omit_background | |
pdf_paper_format / pdf_landscape / pdf_print_background | paper_format / landscape / print_background |
Endpoint: POST https://api.ironfang.uk/renderwolf/v1/screenshot with a JSON body and your key as a bearer token. The API reference covers every field; the guides walk the common jobs end to end.
What to keep ScreenshotOne for
ScreenshotOne is a much broader platform, and some of it we deliberately do not replace. Stay with them, or keep an account for the workloads that need:
- Proxy routing and per-country rendering
- Upload straight to your own S3 bucket
- Async rendering with webhook callbacks
- GPU rendering, page metadata extraction and the long tail of specialist options
100 renders every month. Free. No card required. Point your existing integration at the endpoint above and see whether it holds up before paying anything.
ScreenshotOne pricing and option names read from their own published documentation on 25 August 2026. They change things; if something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.
