Where each tool is stronger
Where AppStills is stronger
- Genuine real-time 3D editor (react-three-fiber): 6-axis device posing, perspective or orthographic camera, and four render styles (realistic/clay/toon/linear) — ScreenKit uses flat 2D device frames only.
- Store-listing import: pulls an existing App Store/Google Play listing's name, screenshots and brand colours, analyzed by Claude (Haiku vision) — ScreenKit advertises no listing import.
- In-browser App Preview .mp4 video export (Apple-approved 15-30s H.264, iPhone + iPad) — ScreenKit ships only a video-size spec checker, not an exporter.
- More localization languages: 50 App Store Connect locales vs ScreenKit's 30+.
- Monthly billing option ($5.90/mo) in addition to yearly ($49.90/yr) — ScreenKit is annual-only.
- AI captions and store import work on the free tier (sign-in only) — on ScreenKit all AI is Pro-gated.
- Wider export coverage: Apple Watch and Wear OS sizes, plus Pro custom-canvas sizes and panorama backgrounds spanning frames — none advertised by ScreenKit, which offers no watch/wear export and only a standalone Google Play feature-graphic size checker.
Where ScreenKit is stronger
- Unlimited projects and exports on Pro — AppStills Pro caps at 50 projects.
- Simpler pricing: one flat $49.99/year Pro tier, with no monthly/yearly plan matrix to reason about.
- Brand Kit (Pro) for cross-project visual consistency.
- Fast, approachable 2D drag-and-drop editor for users who don't want or need a 3D tool.
When ScreenKit is the better choice
Choose ScreenKit if you want the simplest flat annual price with unlimited projects, prefer a fast 2D drag-and-drop workflow over a 3D editor, and do not need 3D posing, store-listing import, or app-preview video. Choose AppStills if you want real 3D posing and camera control, to import an existing listing with AI, in-browser .mp4 app-preview video, 50-language localization, a monthly plan, or Apple Watch / Wear OS export sizes. Both free tiers export without a watermark; ScreenKit caps you at 5 exports total, while AppStills' free tier is unlimited but one size / one language per run.
Verdict
AppStills leads on depth and breadth: real 3D posing, store-listing import with AI, in-browser .mp4 app-preview video, 50 languages, a monthly plan, and broader export-size coverage (Apple Watch and Wear OS). ScreenKit leads on unlimited Pro projects and a simpler, faster 2D workflow. Both free tiers are watermark-free. Yearly Pro pricing is effectively identical ($49.90 vs $49.99); only AppStills offers a monthly option. Pick AppStills for a 3D, listing-import, video-capable pipeline; pick ScreenKit if a flat annual plan with unlimited projects matters more than 3D or video.
