Browshot vs Zube: common questions

Which is more reliable, Browshot or Zube?

Both are neck-and-neck — Browshot and Zube each measure 0.0% uptime over 90 days on our probe schedule. Reliability here is verified from our own scheduled checks; use the 30-day bars above to see which has been steadier lately.

Do Browshot and Zube need an API key?

Both ask you to authenticate — Browshot uses an API key and Zube uses an API key. Each key is free to obtain; the Auth and Card-required rows above spell out the signup terms.

Can I call Browshot and Zube from the browser?

Neither sends browser-friendly CORS headers reliably, so call Browshot and Zube from a server or proxy rather than client-side. The CORS and HTTPS rows above show exactly what we detected for each.

Are Browshot and Zube free for commercial use?

Browshot has unclear commercial terms, and Zube has unclear commercial terms. We track service terms and the data license as separate fields — see the Commercial use and Data license rows above, and confirm both before shipping either in a paid product.
