Credits and Billing

ScreenshotLens runs on prepaid credits. New accounts start with 100.

Credit costs

Rolling video costs the same in both formats and at any duration.

When credits move

The balance is checked before the render starts. If it cannot cover the request, the API returns 402 Payment Required and nothing is rendered, so a request you cannot afford never costs you anything.

The charge lands after a successful capture. One case is free: if the target page answers with a status of 400 or higher, you still get the capture and the response reports credits_charged as 0.

Related API endpoints

These endpoints back the Billing page. All of them need a dashboard session rather than an API key, except /v1/packages, which is public.
