Looking for a
Screenshot Studio alternative?
Screenshot Studio is a polished web app for App Store screenshots, with templates, AI localization, and upload to App Store Connect. Mockly does the same three steps with two differences that matter if you ship often. Your project lives on your Mac instead of a vendor's service, and AI translation runs on your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key, so the provider you already pay bills you. The app itself is $12.99 once instead of a monthly plan.
How does Mockly compare to Screenshot Studio?
Both tools translate with AI and upload to App Store Connect. They differ in where your project lives, how translation is billed, how you pay, and whether you start from a template.

Mockly: A Mac app for macOS 14 or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel. Projects are files you save on your Mac, and editing and exporting work offline.
Screenshot Studio: A web app. You upload screenshots to the vendor's service, design in the browser, and download or upload the results.

AI translation
Mockly: AI Translate sends the text of your text blocks to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google with your own key, and your provider bills you. You can also export a CSV for a translator and import it back.
Screenshot Studio: Translation runs inside the vendor's service as part of the plan.

Languages and layout
Mockly: All 50 App Store languages in one project. Each language follows your source language until you unlink it, so a long German headline or a different Japanese background changes only that language.
Screenshot Studio: Multi-language projects with AI localization in the browser.

Templates
Mockly: None. You build each layout from devices, text blocks, image layers, and backgrounds, then repeat the look with Duplicate and Copy Style.
Screenshot Studio: A template library to start from. This is a real strength if you want a finished look quickly.

About Mockly
Questions
FAQ
What is the best Screenshot Studio alternative?
If you'd rather work in a Mac app than a browser, Mockly covers the same job: App Store screenshots, AI translation, and upload to App Store Connect. Your projects stay on your Mac, AI translation runs through your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key, and the app costs $12.99 once with no subscription. Mockly has no template library, so if you rely on Screenshot Studio's templates, weigh that first.
Is Mockly cheaper than Screenshot Studio?
Mockly costs $12.99 once, with no subscription, and every editor feature comes with it. Screenshot Studio is a subscription, last seen at $19 to $49 a month depending on plan, so check its site for the current price. If you use AI Translate in Mockly, your AI provider bills you for that use directly.
Why does on-device matter for screenshot tooling?
App Store screenshots often show features that haven't shipped yet. In a web tool, those files go to the vendor's service. Projects are files on your Mac, and editing and exporting work offline. Two things leave the Mac, and only when you start them: when you run AI Translate, the text of your text blocks goes with your key to the provider you chose, and when you upload, the rendered screenshots go to Apple. Lagerland Apps runs no server for Mockly and never sees either.
Does Mockly cover the same App Store device sizes?
Mockly has artboard presets for iPhone 6.9-inch and 6.5-inch, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, landscape variants, and a 1080×1920 Google Play size. Save Images exports every page as PNG or HEIC at the artboard's exact pixel size, for one language or all of them, and the App Store Connect upload reads the display type from the artboard.
Does Mockly have templates like Screenshot Studio?
No. Mockly has no template library. You build each layout from 3D devices, text blocks, image layers, and backgrounds, then use Duplicate and Copy Style to repeat it across pages. If you want to start every set from a template, Screenshot Studio fits that better.
