When to use which?

Gank.io (干货集中营) is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. Abstract Screenshot works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps. Abstract Screenshot supports HTTPS, which is required for production deployments and secure data handling.
