The Browserless alternative that returns a finished screenshot from one API call
Browserless rents you a headless browser to drive. You still write the Puppeteer script, fight Cloudflare, and strip the cookie banners yourself. ScreenshotRender returns the finished image from one GET request, with Cloudflare handling and page cleanup already built in, and you only pay when a screenshot comes back.

01/ 02 · Why switch
Why teams switch from Browserless to ScreenshotRender
One request, no browser to drive. ScreenshotRender is a single GET URL with your key and a target page. Browserless hands you a headless browser to connect Puppeteer or Playwright to, then leaves the session management, waiting logic, and capture code to you.
Production-ready by default. Cookie banners, ad overlays, and chat widgets are removed before every capture, and Cloudflare-protected pages render without extra setup. With a raw browser you script all of that cleanup yourself.
Pay per screenshot, not per second. ScreenshotRender charges one credit per successful screenshot and nothing for renders that fail. Browserless meters browser time in units, and CAPTCHA solves and proxies stack more units on top of every protected page.
Nothing to provision. Renders are served from an edge CDN with caching, so repeat captures come back instantly. There is no concurrency slot to size and no browser pool to keep warm as your traffic grows.
Wire it up without writing code. Native connections to Zapier, Make, and n8n let non-developers drop screenshots into a workflow. Browserless assumes you are writing and deploying automation code to use it at all.
Switch without the rewrite. Start free with no credit card and run ScreenshotRender next to your Browserless jobs. For screenshots you swap a Puppeteer script for one GET request and delete the browser-management code around it.

ScreenshotRender vs. Browserless
Looking at Browserless just to capture screenshots? Browserless gives you a headless browser that you script and babysit yourself, billed by the second. ScreenshotRender does the whole capture in one request and hands back the image, with Cloudflare, cookie banners, and ads already handled. Here is how the two compare for screenshot work.
BrowserlessWith ScreenshotRender there is no Puppeteer to write and no metered CAPTCHA or proxy add-ons, so one clean screenshot stays one predictable credit.

Common questions
ScreenshotRender is the best Browserless alternative for teams that just need screenshots. It returns a finished, Cloudflare-ready image from one GET request, with cookie banners and ads removed automatically, and you only pay for renders that succeed.
The main difference is what you get back. Browserless rents you a headless browser to drive with Puppeteer or Playwright, while ScreenshotRender does the capture for you and returns the image from a single API call, with Cloudflare handling and page cleanup already built in.
Yes. ScreenshotRender is one GET URL with your key and a target page, so there is no SDK to install, no browser session to manage, and no waiting logic to write. Browserless expects you to build and run the automation yourself.
No. ScreenshotRender replaces the Puppeteer or Playwright script entirely. You send one request to https://screenshotrender.com/api/v1/screenshot and get a PNG back, so there is no browser library to learn or keep up to date.
ScreenshotRender charges one credit per successful screenshot. Browserless meters browser time in 30-second units and bills CAPTCHA solves and proxies as extra units, so the cost of a single protected page can climb. With ScreenshotRender a clean screenshot stays one predictable credit.
Yes. ScreenshotRender renders Cloudflare-protected pages in a real browser at no extra charge. With Browserless you add CAPTCHA solving and proxies, which consume extra units on top of the browser time you already pay for.
Yes. Add fullPage=true to the request and ScreenshotRender captures the entire scrollable page instead of just the viewport.
Yes. The free plan includes 100 screenshots a month with no credit card, so you can test it against your Browserless screenshot jobs before you switch.
Replace your screenshot script with one request to https://screenshotrender.com/api/v1/screenshot, passing apiKey and the url. You can delete the browser-management code, and Cloudflare handling plus cookie-banner removal come built in.
For screenshots, yes. ScreenshotRender is purpose-built to turn a URL into a clean image from one call, while Browserless is a general browser-automation platform you have to script for every capture.
