GoFullPage vs Whole Page Screenshot — Honest Comparison
December 5, 2024·5 min read
GoFullPage is the most popular screenshot extension on Chrome with 9M+ users. We built Whole Page Screenshot to be a free, feature-complete alternative. Here's an honest breakdown.
Cost
| GoFullPage | Whole Page Screenshot | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Capture only | Everything included |
| Premium | $1/mo for the editor and PDF | None — every feature is free |
GoFullPage is cheap, but only the capture is free — the editor, annotations, PDF export, and cropping all require Premium. Whole Page Screenshot includes all of those at no cost.

Our Take
