Where GrabShot wins

Price: GrabShot's Starter plan is $9/mo for 500 screenshots. ScreenshotOne starts at $29/mo. For startups and side projects, that's a meaningful difference.

Device frames: GrabShot is the only screenshot API that wraps captures in realistic iPhone, MacBook, and browser frames with a single parameter. No other API does this -- you'd need to composite images yourself in Figma or code.

AI cleanup: GrabShot uses Gemini Vision to automatically detect and remove cookie banners, chat widgets, and popup overlays. This is included on paid plans at no extra cost.

Where ScreenshotOne wins

Larger free tier: ScreenshotOne offers 100 free screenshots/month vs GrabShot's 25. If you need a higher free quota, they have the edge.

Maturity: ScreenshotOne has been around longer and has more integrations, documentation, and community resources.

Geolocation: ScreenshotOne lets you capture from different geographic locations. GrabShot currently captures from a single EU location.
