RenderKit vs Microlink
Microlink is the closest multi-primitive competitor — screenshots, PDFs, and metadata/markdown from one API. RenderKit matches the surface, adds JSX-to-PDF and an MCP server, splits the primitives into three clean endpoints, and starts lower.
| RenderKit | Microlink | |
|---|---|---|
| Screenshot API | ||
| PDF API | ||
| Markdown extraction | ||
| MCP server for agents | ||
| JSX-to-PDF | ||
| Entry price | $9/mo | $24/mo |
Why teams switch from Microlink
Hobby at $9/mo vs Microlink's higher entry tier
Three dedicated endpoints with per-endpoint validation instead of one query-string API
JSX-to-PDF and token-aware markdown chunking — no Microlink equivalent
MCP server included for Claude and Cursor agent workflows
Common questions
Price and the agent surface. RenderKit's $9 tier includes all three primitives, markdown comes back pre-chunked for embeddings, JSX-to-PDF renders React components to paper, and the MCP server drops every primitive into your agent with no glue code.
Yes — HMAC-signed URLs let you generate render links client-side without exposing your key.
