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 Listing works for an unpublished app, so you can draft the name, subtitle, keywords and description before launch.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.

All comparisons

StoreStudio vs Screenshots.pro

Both make App Store screenshot sets. The right choice depends on how much you need from a free plan and whether you need an API or a license for client work.

Try Studio free See Listing in action

Pick Screenshots.pro if you want every template on a free plan, need an API, or need a license for client work.

Pick StoreStudio if you only need App Store screenshots, want listing research in the same plan, or would rather pay $8 a month than $19.

Where Screenshots.pro is the better choice

Screenshots.pro has a generous free plan. Basic includes every template, every device and the full editor, at no cost and with no time limit. StoreStudio’s free plan stops at five slides in one language.

Extended, at $49 a month, adds API access and a license that lets you charge clients. StoreStudio has no API, and its license covers your own apps only, so client work needs Screenshots.pro or another tool.

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.

Pro (the full editor) is $79 a year, or $8 a month, against $19 a month for Standard. It includes every template pack, custom fonts, captions in 18 languages and every iPhone and iPad export size, in one ZIP organised by language and size. StoreStudio makes App Store screenshots, not Google Play.

Research for the store page in the same plan

Suite (Pro plus Listing) costs $119 a year. Listing shows where your app ranks for a search and which other apps appear beside it, whether Apple suggests that search, and how strong page one is. You can draft the name, subtitle, keywords and description, and compare the draft with your current page.

A useful phrase can go to a screenshot project as the start of a caption, with its source attached. Listing 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.
