An App Store screenshot specialist against a broader 3D mockup and video studio, weighed on what actually decides it: free tiers, pricing, 3D and video, and asset libraries.
Reviewed by AppScreenshotStudio Team, App Store screenshot tooling for solo indie devs. Last updated July 17, 2026.
App Store screenshot tools generate the marketing screenshots iOS and Google Play listings require, handling device frames, exact store dimensions, and Apple's 60/40 UI-to-marketing ratio. AppLaunchpad is a screenshot specialist with a free-forever tier and a large asset library; Previewed is a broader mockup studio that also does 3D device rotations, promo videos, and social and desktop formats. Both are template-driven, so you arrange each slide yourself.
AppLaunchpad is the better fit for flat App Store and Google Play screenshot sets, with a free-forever tier and 4,000+ design assets. Previewed is the better fit when you need 3D device rotations, MP4 promo videos, or social and desktop mockups, and it also has a free tier (unlimited 720p with attribution). They both have real free plans, so decide by the output you need, not by the price. Both are manual, template-based editors.

Most comparisons in this space turn on the free tier, because most tools do not have a usable one. Here both do: AppLaunchpad is free-forever with limited assets, and Previewed gives unlimited 720p exports with attribution. So price stops being the tiebreaker, and the question becomes what you are actually making.
AppLaunchpad is built for flat App Store and Google Play screenshots, backed by 4,000+ assets and 500+ fonts to design with. Previewed is built for range: 3D device rotations, MP4 promo videos, and social and desktop mockups. A store listing points to AppLaunchpad; a rotating device shot or a video points to Previewed. Neither is built for speed, which is where the third option below comes in.
AppLaunchpad and Previewed both hand you a blank template to fill in yourself. AppScreenshotStudio generates the whole set from one description instead: headlines, layouts, brand colors, and panoramic backgrounds come out together, then you refine by chat or on a visual canvas. You recognize the good set instead of building it slide by slide.
They solve different jobs. AppLaunchpad is an App Store screenshot specialist with a free-forever tier and a large design-asset and font library. Previewed is a broader mockup studio: 3D device rotations, MP4 promo videos, and desktop, web, and social formats, also with a free tier. If the deliverable is a store screenshot set, AppLaunchpad fits; if it is a 3D mockup or a promo video, Previewed fits. Both are manual, template-driven editors.
Both have free tiers, which is unusual. AppLaunchpad is free-forever with limited assets; Previewed gives unlimited 720p exports with Creative Commons attribution. On paid plans, AppLaunchpad is around $19/mo (about $15/mo billed annually) while Previewed offers a one-time $9.99 Plus plan (10 high-res exports) or around $19/mo Pro. For a single one-off export, Previewed's $9.99 is usually the cheapest path.
Both do. AppLaunchpad has a free-forever tier with a limited set of fonts, backgrounds, and layouts, usable for a basic set. Previewed has a free tier with unlimited 720p exports as long as you keep the Creative Commons attribution. Neither free tier is a preview-only trap, so here the free tier is not the deciding factor; the output you need is.
Previewed. It offers free-angle 3D device rotations and MP4 promo video export, plus desktop, web, and social mockup formats. AppLaunchpad does not do 3D rotations or video; it is focused on flat App Store and Google Play screenshots with a large asset library. If you need a rotating device shot or a video, Previewed is the one.
Both tools hand you a blank template to fill in. AppScreenshotStudio generates the whole set from one description instead: headlines, layouts, brand colors, and panoramic backgrounds come out together, then you refine by chat or on a visual canvas. It also ships REST + MCP API access from around $14.99/mo for CI/CD or agent workflows. It is free to start with 10 credits, then from $7.99/mo.
