AIIPWorld: what we offer
From our own price list and configuration. See pricing for the current version.
- Free plan: 100 credits per month, no card needed. A simple render costs 1 credit. The free web tools also work without an account.
- Paid plans (monthly price / credits per month): $19 / 2,750, $59 / 10,000, $149 / 30,000. Yearly billing is 10 times the monthly price. A credit pack is $10 for 1,400 credits that do not expire.
- A screenshot costs 1 credit; a full page screenshot costs 2 credits for an image up to 5,000 px tall, plus more for taller ones. PDFs over 10 pages and results over 5 MB cost extra credits. Credits for failed jobs are returned. These costs are provisional until launch.
- API: PDF from HTML or a public web address, and PNG or JPEG screenshots, all with headless Chromium. Jobs are asynchronous (submit, then poll). Results are kept for a limited time and then deleted. Webhooks, templates and a batch endpoint are not available yet.
Price per render at each listed plan
Plain division: the monthly price divided by the renders (Urlbox) or credits (AIIPWorld) included, with a simple render counted as 1 credit. Urlbox figures use the plans listed above (2026-10-11, urlbox.com/pricing). The units are not the same thing, larger AIIPWorld outputs use more credits, and our credit costs are provisional until launch, so treat this as arithmetic, not a verdict.
| Urlbox plan | Price per render |
|---|---|
| Lo-Fi: $19 for 2,000 | $0.009 |
| Hi-Fi: $49 for 5,000 | $0.010 |
| Ultra: $99 for 15,000 | $0.007 |
| AIIPWorld plan | Price per simple render |
|---|---|
| Starter: $19 for 2,750 | $0.007 |
| Pro: $59 for 10,000 | $0.006 |
| Business: $149 for 30,000 | $0.005 |
Reading the two lists side by side
- Both count a finished render as the unit, so the per-render table above is a fair first comparison. Our credits rise for long PDFs, large results and tall full page screenshots; Urlbox's page does not say how it treats those.
- Urlbox lists many more output types (video, SVG, AVIF, Markdown, JSON) and webhooks. We make PDF, PNG and JPEG, and webhooks are not available yet.
- Urlbox's pricing page gives a trial rather than a permanent free plan. Our free plan lists 100 credits a month, and the web tools need no account.
- We have not compared rendering quality or speed. Run a few of your own pages through both.
You can try ours without an account in the HTML to PDF tool or the website screenshot tool. The PDF API and screenshot API pages list every option.
Urlbox is a name of its respective owner. AIIPWorld is not affiliated with it.
What to compare in a Urlbox alternative
This part is for people who already use Urlbox, or who are looking for a urlbox alternative and want to compare the two on facts. Each Urlbox fact comes from its public pricing page or home page, checked on 2026-10-11. We have not compared output quality or speed, so this page does not say which service renders better.
Start with the unit each service charges in. Urlbox sells a number of renders a month on each plan. We sell credits. A simple render costs 1 credit, and larger outputs cost more credits. Credit costs are provisional until launch, so check the current values on our pricing page before you plan a budget.
Urlbox pricing and plans in short
The Urlbox pricing page lists Lo-Fi, Hi-Fi, Ultra, Business and Enterprise plans. The three smaller ones run from $19 a month for 2,000 renders to $99 for 15,000, with rate limits from 30 to 250 requests a minute and timeouts from 30 to 300 seconds. Business is listed at $498 a month and Enterprise from $3,000 a month.
Its FAQ says the service is not cut off when you pass your limit: you are moved to the next tier. Its pricing page also lists a 7 day free trial on Hi-Fi and Ultra, with no card needed. We did not read a permanent free plan on that page.
The pricing page lists URL to PDF and HTML to PDF as features but does not show which plans include them. Check that with Urlbox if you need PDFs.
Urlbox vs AIIPWorld: what each makes
The Urlbox home page lists PNG, JPEG, SVG and AVIF images, MP4 and WEBM video, PDF, and Markdown, JSON and rendered HTML. It offers synchronous and asynchronous requests, webhooks, render links and storage in your own cloud account.
Our API makes PDFs from HTML you send or from public web addresses, and PNG or JPEG screenshots. For screenshots you can set the viewport, a full page capture, a clip area, a transparent background, pixel density from 1 to 3, a light or dark colour scheme and print or screen styles. A JPEG quality can be set too. We do not make video, SVG or AVIF output, and we do not return Markdown or JSON about a page.
Jobs are asynchronous. You submit a request, receive a job_id, and poll the job until it reaches succeeded, failed or timeout. Credits for failed and timed-out jobs are returned. The download link is a short-lived signed link, so save the file once the job succeeds.
Public http and https addresses are allowed. Private networks, localhost and cloud metadata addresses are blocked, including for redirects and sub-resources.
How to test a Urlbox alternative with your own pages
A demo page will not show you much. Run your own pages through each service and check the points below.
- Page ready: check that the page is finished when the image is taken. If it is not, use wait_until, wait_for_selector or delay_ms.
- Size: compare the viewport and the full page height. Our full page captures are capped at 16,384 px of output height, and taller pages are cut.
- Fonts: confirm that every font your pages use is on the render server or loads from a public URL. Our render server has the Noto fonts, including CJK and emoji.
- Cookie banners and ads: we do not list blockers for them, so check your pages.
- Cost: render a typical page on each side, then compare the price per render at the plan you would buy.
- Time: time your own pages from request to file, and compare the results between the two services.
Moving from Urlbox to AIIPWorld
Authentication uses an API key from the dashboard. Send it as Authorization: Bearer followed by the key, or in an x-api-key header. Send a POST to /v1/render with a url or html, an output type and your options.
Map your current options to the names we use: viewport width and height, full_page, clip, device_scale_factor, wait_until and wait_for_selector. We do not offer webhooks yet, so poll the job for the result. Send one request per page; there is no batch endpoint.
After the move, run your test list again and compare each new image with the old one before you switch your users.
When Urlbox may suit you better
Urlbox may suit you better if you need video, SVG, AVIF, Markdown or JSON output, webhooks today, or delivery to your own cloud storage. It also lists higher rate limits and longer timeouts on its larger plans. We do not offer any of these yet.
We may suit you better if you want a small free allowance, free web tools and a short list of options. Choose by testing your own pages and comparing the cost for your volume. Neither page can tell you which output looks better for your pages.
Questions
Which one is cheaper?
Both count renders, but the plans differ. Urlbox lists $19 for 2,000, $49 for 5,000 and $99 for 15,000 renders a month; our plans are on the pricing page. A simple render is 1 credit here, and long PDFs, large results and tall full page screenshots cost more. Compare the per-render table above, then your own volume.
Which one has better output quality?
We have not compared the two, so we do not claim either. Render a few of your real pages with each service.
Is there a free Urlbox alternative?
Our web tools are free and need no account. Anonymous use asks for a human check from Cloudflare Turnstile, and signed-in users skip it. Our free API plan includes 100 credits a month, and results are kept for 1 day. Urlbox lists a 7 day trial on two plans.
Is there an AIIPWorld API like the Urlbox API?
Yes. POST /v1/render takes a url or html and returns a job that ends in a PDF, PNG or JPEG file. See the screenshot API and PDF API pages for every option.
Urlbox vs ScreenshotOne: where does AIIPWorld fit?
We have not compared the two against each other. Our own comparison with ScreenshotOne is on its page. Both vendors list more output types and webhooks than we do, and we have a free plan and free web tools.
Do you support webhooks?
Not yet. Jobs are asynchronous: submit, then poll for the result. Webhooks are planned for Pro and Business.
How current is the Urlbox information?
It was checked on 2026-10-11 against urlbox.com/pricing and urlbox.com. Prices and limits change, so confirm them on Urlbox's own site before you decide.
