StoreStudio vs AppMockUp

Both let you make a screenshot set for free, without an account. The right choice depends on whether one set in one language is all you need.

Try Studio freeSee Listing in action

Pick AppMockUp if you need one clean set at no cost, for the App Store, Google Play or both, in one language.

Pick StoreStudio if you need captions in several languages, or want listing research in the same plan.

Where AppMockUp is the better choice

AppMockUp is free, needs no account, and makes App Store and Google Play screenshots. It has templates, several styles of device frame, panoramic backgrounds and a store preview.

For one clean set in one language, it’s hard to beat. StoreStudio’s free plan stops at five slides in one language and one export size, and it doesn’t make Google Play screenshots.

Where StoreStudio is the better choice

StoreStudio checks each slide before you export it. It flags the wrong export size, a missing screenshot, low contrast, a missing translation, a headline that runs long in a language and a font that can’t display Japanese. AppMockUp’s site doesn’t mention translated captions or checks before export.

Pro (the full editor) is $79 a year. It adds every template pack, custom fonts, captions in 18 languages and every export size, in one ZIP organised by language and size.

Research for the store page as your app grows

Suite (Pro plus Listing) costs $119 a year. Listing works for a published app or an unpublished draft. It shows where your app ranks for a search, whether Apple suggests that search, and how strong page one is, and it helps you draft the name, subtitle, keywords and description.

A useful phrase can go to a screenshot project as the start of a caption, with its source attached. Listing also records each change and when it went live. It doesn’t show search volume or download estimates.

See how research becomes your next update

Choose a search phrase to see where the app appears, whether Apple suggests the search, and how strong page one is. Then try the phrase in a subtitle. Saved results for real apps, right here.

Try replacing “language learning” in your name

  • “language learning” is in your name.
  • Your app was #158 of 195 in the United States, below the first 50.
  • Apple suggests “language learning” in App Store search.
  • The top 10 apps have a median of 79,696 ratings, and 9 of them use the phrase in their name.

Trade-off: You would give up some or all of your current name.

Common questions

Is StoreStudio Free a trial?
No. Free has no time limit. Make one project with five slides in one language, and export it at full resolution in one size, without a watermark or an account.
Can I use Listing before my app is published?
Yes. Listing works for an unpublished app, so you can draft the name, subtitle, keywords and description before launch. Once the app is live, it also shows where it ranks for a search.
How do Listing and the editor work together?
Send a search phrase or a review insight from Listing to a new screenshot project. The source stays attached while you write the caption and build the slide.
How do I publish my changes?
Export your screenshots and copy or download your Listing draft, then add them in App Store Connect. StoreStudio doesn't upload to App Store Connect, so you review and publish the changes yourself.
