PageFreezer charges enterprise prices for website archiving. VaultShot delivers the same SHA-256 integrity hashing, automated captures, and compliance certificates — starting at $19/mo instead of $500+/mo.
No credit card required. Free plan available.
PageFreezer requires custom enterprise pricing that starts at $500+/mo
Long annual contracts with no month-to-month option
Complex setup process that requires IT team involvement
Overkill features that small compliance teams don't need
Both VaultShot and PageFreezer use SHA-256 cryptographic hashing to prove screenshot integrity. Both generate compliance-ready certificates. But VaultShot is built for lean teams — no sales calls, no annual contracts, no setup fees. Just $19/mo and you're archiving in minutes.
PageFreezer built their business serving large regulated enterprises — banks, government agencies, and Fortune 500 companies. Their platform reflects that: sales-driven onboarding, custom pricing that starts at $500/month, annual contracts with auto-renewal clauses, and an implementation process that involves dedicated account managers and IT integration calls. If you're a compliance team of 2-5 people at a mid-market company, that model doesn't fit. You don't need a platform that archives social media, instant messaging, and website content across 50 business units. You need your five critical URLs archived daily with tamper-proof hashing. VaultShot does exactly that for $19/month with self-service setup that takes under five minutes.
The core technology behind website compliance archiving is surprisingly standardized. Both VaultShot and PageFreezer capture rendered web pages and apply SHA-256 cryptographic hashing to verify file integrity. Both store captures with timestamps. Both generate documentation suitable for regulatory examinations. The difference isn't in the cryptography — it's in everything around it. PageFreezer wraps the same fundamental capability in enterprise sales processes, multi-year contracts, and platform complexity that most small and mid-sized compliance teams don't need. VaultShot strips away that overhead and delivers the compliance-critical features — hash verification, automated captures, PDF certificates — at a price point that doesn't require budget committee approval.
Switching from PageFreezer isn't a technical migration — it's a liberation. There's no data to transfer because VaultShot starts building your archive fresh with its own captures. You sign up, enter your URLs, and your new archive starts building immediately. Your existing PageFreezer archives remain valid for their retention period, and your VaultShot archive runs in parallel from day one. Many of our customers run both services for one billing cycle to ensure continuity, then let their PageFreezer contract expire. The net result: same SHA-256 compliance standard, same automated captures, same audit-ready certificates — at 96% less cost per month.
Every feature is designed to produce evidence that regulators accept.
Every screenshot is cryptographically hashed at capture time. Any modification — even a single pixel — produces a different hash, proving the file is original.
Screenshots are stored on AWS S3 with WORM-grade immutability. Files cannot be deleted or overwritten — meeting FINRA 17a-4 and SEC requirements.
Set it and forget it. VaultShot captures your website on your schedule — hourly, daily, or weekly — ensuring no gaps in your compliance timeline.
Each capture generates a professional PDF with hash, timestamp, metadata, and screenshot preview — ready to hand directly to auditors or regulators.
Anyone can verify a screenshot's authenticity by uploading it or pasting its hash. Provides instant, independent proof that the file is untampered.
VaultShot automatically detects and dismisses cookie consent banners before capture — ensuring clean, unobstructed screenshots every time.
Same SHA-256 hashing standard. Fraction of the cost.
