AppScreens is a polished generator with 3D device frames, 80+ localization languages, and one-click publishing straight to the stores — genuinely useful if you ship often. The trade-offs: localization and landscape exports sit on higher plans, the free tier is capped at one app with five screenshots, and there's no self-hosted option. AppShot AI keeps the full editor free while you design, generates whole screenshot sets with AI (not just captions), and can run on your own server.

Why teams pick AppShot AI
The differences that show up in day-to-day shipping.
AI does the first draft
Point the AI at your raw screenshots and copy — it fills a template or designs a set from scratch. You polish instead of starting from blank.
Localization built in
Per-language headlines and screenshots, right-to-left support, and exports pre-sorted into per-language folders for the store consoles.
Real team workspaces
Owner, admin, editor, and viewer roles, per-project sharing, and safe single-editor locking — not a shared login.
Own your data
Use the hosted SaaS or run the self-hosted edition on your own server. No watermarks, no per-screenshot fees.
Common questions
Can I switch from AppScreens to AppShot AI?
Yes. Upload the same app screenshots you already have, pick a template, and the editor scaffolds every device size for you. Most listings are rebuilt in under an hour — or let the AI fill a template from your screenshots and copy.
Is AppShot AI free to try?
The Trial plan is free and includes the full editor, every device size, and one project — no credit card. Exporting store-ready ZIPs is part of the paid plans.
Does AppShot AI cover Google Play as well as the App Store?
Yes — Android phone and tablet sizes in portrait and landscape, plus the 1024×500 Play Store feature graphic, all in the same project as your iOS sizes .
What does "self-hosted" mean here?
Beyond the hosted SaaS, AppShot ships as a self-hosted script you can run on your own server — even inexpensive shared hosting. Your projects and screenshots stay on infrastructure you control.
