Good point on offloading it as for the amount of work that's required in setting up a wrapper for something like Puppeteer, Playwright etc that also works with a probably quite specific setup, I've found the best way to get a quality image consistently is to just subscribe to one of the many SASS' out there that already do this well. Some of the comments above suggest some decent screenshot-as-a-service products.

Really depends on how valuable your time is over your (or your companies) money. I prefer going for the quality (and more $) solution rather than the solution that boasts cheap prices, as I tend to avoid headaches of unreliable services. Sam Vines Boots theory and all that.

For image comparison I've always found using pixelmatch by Mapbox works well for PNG's
