ScreenshotLayer is the apilayer screenshot endpoint. ToolCenter is a broader API platform — 40+ tools + MCP under a single bearer token, plus an MCP server for AI agents. Here's how they compare and when to switch.
Every compare page on this site starts the same way: a shipping team hit a billing wall, or outgrew a single-purpose API. Here's what they find on the other side.
Same price, 35× the surface area.
Headless Chrome with device emulation, dark mode, ad-blocking. Not PhantomJS.
Your AI agent gets 15 tools, not a single endpoint.
We're not pretending otherwise — if these are your core needs, ScreenshotLayer is a great product.
