Startup Archive is a specialized service designed for founders and builders who need to preserve their startup websites when shutting down operations. It captures high-fidelity, interactive snapshots that can be embedded in portfolios or used to create visual changelogs.
Key Features:
- Multi-format Capture: Each snapshot captures up to 5 routes per domain, saved in 4 variants: desktop + mobile, light + dark mode (e.g., 2 routes = 8 screenshots).
- Embeddable Viewer: Provides clean, shareable archives with a portfolio-quality viewer that includes device frame decoration and interactive controls (route, theme, motion toggles).
- Cost-Effective Preservation: Helps users stop paying for hosting, domain renewals, and maintenance by replacing live sites with archived snapshots.
- Visual Changelog: Enables before/after comparisons to track product evolution, highlight conversion-boosting changes, or share updates with communities.
- Credit-Based Pricing: Uses a pay-as-you-go model where 1 credit = 1 snapshot, with bulk discounts available (e.g., $3.99 for 1 snapshot, $9.99 for 5, $25 for 50).
Target Users: Indie founders, startup teams, and builders who want to preserve failed or inactive projects for portfolios, demos, or historical records.
Unique Selling Points: Unlike traditional web archives (e.g., Wayback Machine), Startup Archive focuses on high visual fidelity and embeddable presentation, ensuring the site looks as intended without styling breaks over time. It’s optimized for sharing and portfolio integration, with a streamlined workflow for capturing and managing snapshots.
