AppScreens alternative: MockFrame for App Store screenshots
AppScreens is one of the most established App Store screenshot generators, and if you localize a listing into thirty languages it earns its subscription. MockFrame takes a different angle: get an indie developer or small team from raw simulator captures to a submission-ready zip — every required Apple and Google size, framed and captioned — in a few minutes, with the first full pack free and AI that writes the set for you from a one-sentence description.
MockFrame vs AppScreens at a glance
| MockFrame | AppScreens | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting a full set out | Upload 3–10 raw screenshots, pick a style, download one zip with every required Apple and Google size plus a README that says what uploads where. | Template-based editor with responsive scaling across device sizes; exports per configured display. |
| Free tier | Design and preview everything free; your first full pack export is free with a free account. | Free tier for trying the editor; full-resolution output is part of the paid plans. |
| Paid pricing | Pro starts at under $10 a month. | Subscription plans aimed at teams shipping regularly (see appscreens.com for current pricing). |
| AI assistance | Describe your app in one sentence and the AI generator plans the conversion narrative, writes every caption and lays out concept screens you swap your real shots into. | AI-assisted captioning and restyling inside the template editor. |
| Localization | Manual — duplicate a pack and translate captions yourself. | Strong: bulk auto-localization across dozens of languages is a headline feature. |
| Stores covered | Apple App Store and Google Play, including the Play feature graphic. | Apple and Google plus additional storefronts such as Microsoft and Amazon. |

Where each tool wins
Pick MockFrame if…
- You ship to Apple and Google and want one zip with every required size, captioned and framed.
- You want AI to draft the whole screenshot narrative before you touch an editor.
- You’d rather pay under $10 a month — or nothing for your first release.
- You also need device mockups, chat screenshots or an app promo video for launch.
Pick AppScreens if…
- You localize your listing into many languages and need bulk auto-translation.
- You publish to storefronts beyond Apple and Google, like Microsoft or Amazon.
- You maintain a large template library across a bigger team.
Switching takes one upload
There’s nothing to migrate — store screenshots are rebuilt from your raw captures either way. Drop 3–10 plain screenshots into the pack studio, pick one of the marketing styles, caption each screen (or let the AI generator write them), and export the zip. Your first full pack is free, so you can compare finished output against your current set before changing anything.
Frequently asked questions
- Is MockFrame a free AppScreens alternative?
- Yes for your first release: designing and previewing is free, and your first full pack export — every required App Store and Google Play size in one zip — is free with a free account. Unlimited packs are part of Pro, which starts at under $10 a month.
- What does MockFrame do that AppScreens doesn't?
- The AI pack generator designs a full screenshot narrative from a one-sentence description of your app — captions, layout and concept screens — before you've opened an editor. And because MockFrame is a general mockup studio, the same subscription covers device mockups, chat screenshots and app promo videos, not only store screenshots.
- When is AppScreens the better choice?
- If you localize your store listing into many languages, AppScreens' bulk auto-localization is genuinely strong and MockFrame has no equivalent yet. It also covers storefronts beyond Apple and Google, such as Microsoft and Amazon.
- Does MockFrame export every required size?
- Yes — Apple 6.9-inch (1320×2868) and 6.5-inch (1284×2778) portrait PNGs, optional iPad 13-inch, Google Play phone screenshots and the 1024×500 feature graphic, generated from one design and organized into folders per store.
- Can I try MockFrame without an account?
- Yes. The pack studio is open — upload screenshots, pick a style and preview the whole set without signing in. An account is only needed when you export.
