AppStills.Reasons to consider AppStills — and reasons to stay
Where AppStills is stronger
- Store-listing import: pull an app's name, screenshots, brand colours and a suggested layout straight from an App Store or Google Play URL (Claude vision) — Previewed has no equivalent.
- AI caption generation from the app's own store text at import; Previewed offers no AI captions.
- Real localization: 50 App Store Connect languages with AI batch translation plus per-language screenshot overrides and position nudges (Previewed's 'Localization' is only template grouping).
- One-click batch export of every store size for every language into a single streamed ZIP, pixel-exact and alpha-flattened, with per-size/per-language folders.
- Store-specific pixel-exact presets: iPhone 6.9"/6.5"/5.5", iPad 13", Apple Watch, Google Play phone/tablet, feature graphic and Wear OS — Previewed states no store-exact size presets or Apple Watch/Wear OS support.
- The full 3D editor (all effects, store import, AI captions) is on the free tier; Previewed keeps 3D and video behind paid plans.
- App Preview .mp4 is encoded to Apple's spec (15–30s, H.264 yuv420p, 30fps CFR) entirely in-browser.
- Lower subscription: Pro at $5.90/mo vs Previewed Pro at $19/mo, with pricing read live from Stripe so it can't drift from what's charged.
Where Previewed is stronger
- Broader device and scene coverage: MacBook and iMac mockups plus social-media mockups (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), not just app-store devices.
- 3D animations (animated mockups), which AppStills does not offer.
- Higher-frame-rate video: preview/promo MP4 up to 60fps on Pro, versus AppStills' 30fps.
- A one-time $9.99 Plus license unlocks 3D and video without any subscription — AppStills gates the equivalent behind a recurring Pro plan.
- Free plan allows unlimited 2D image exports (albeit 720p, 2D-only, with CC attribution), whereas AppStills' free export is capped to a single size/language per run.
- Large ready-made mockup / template library with cloud template storage and grouping, plus team/collaboration features.

When to stick with Previewed
Choose Previewed if your work extends beyond App Store and Google Play screenshots — you need Mac or iMac device shots, social-media mockups, or animated 3D scenes and 60fps promo video. It's also the better pick if you want to unlock 3D and video with a single $9.99 one-time purchase instead of a subscription, or want a large ready-made mockup library and team features. Previewed is the more general-purpose mockup generator; AppStills is narrower and purpose-built for store screenshots.
Bottom line
For shipping App Store and Google Play screenshot sets, AppStills does things Previewed simply doesn't: import an existing listing, write AI captions, localize into 50 languages, and export every required store size (for every language) as one pixel-exact ZIP. It also puts its full 3D editor on the free tier and costs less ($5.90/mo Pro vs $19/mo). Previewed is the broader tool — Mac/iMac and social mockups, 3D animations, 60fps video, and a one-time $9.99 unlock — and is the better choice when you need general-purpose or animated device mockups beyond the app stores, or want to avoid a subscription. Both run in the browser with no install. Pick AppStills to produce localized, store-ready screenshots fast; pick Previewed for versatile cross-platform mockups.
