About Mockly
Questions
FAQ
What is the best Rotato alternative for App Store screenshots?
Mockly, if your goal is the App Store screenshot set and you don't need animated 3D video. It's a Mac app you buy once for $12.99. It puts your screenshots on six 3D device models, keeps all 50 App Store languages in one project, translates with your own AI key, and uploads to App Store Connect.
Is Mockly cheaper than Rotato?
Mockly is $12.99 once, with no subscription. Rotato is sold mainly as a subscription, so check its site for current prices. The trade-off is scope: Rotato makes animated 3D video, and Mockly doesn't.
Does Mockly do animated 3D videos like Rotato?
No. Mockly makes still App Store screenshots and exports them as PNG or HEIC. It has no video export, so it can't make App Store preview videos either. If you need a marketing video, use Rotato.
Does Mockly render 3D device frames like Rotato?
Yes, for still images. Mockly has six 3D models (iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch, MacBook Pro 16-inch, Apple Watch Ultra, and Apple Watch Series 11). You set each one's rotation on X, Y, and Z, its scale, and its offset, choose Realistic, Clay, or UI Only, and adjust the light. There's no animation timeline.
Does Mockly upload to App Store Connect?
Yes. Add your App Store Connect API key in Settings, pick an app and version, and Mockly uploads the rendered pages for the languages you choose. It replaces the screenshots already in that display type. Rotato doesn't focus on that step.
Should I use both Rotato and Mockly?
That's a reasonable setup. Use Rotato for an animated 3D hero video on your landing page or social, and Mockly for the still, localized App Store screenshot set you upload at submission.
