Browshot
Browshot renders pages across dozens of real desktop and mobile browsers and returns a PNG or JPEG screenshot, with support for scripted interactions (form fills, cookies, custom JavaScript), authenticated pages, batch jobs from a URL list, and automatic upload to S3 or its own CDN. It's pay-as-you-go rather than subscription-based, with 100 free screenshots a month on the free instance and paid credit packs for higher volume.
