Best for designing App Store screenshots in many languages
AppScreens makes App Store and Google Play screenshots in a browser and translates them into 80+ languages on Pro. The free plan is 1 project and 5 screens, and client work needs the $15 Scale plan.
Who AppScreens is for
- Fits if you ship one app and want screenshots in a few languages
- Works for solo developers who upload straight to the stores
Who AppScreens is not for
- Skip it if you design for clients on Pro, since that needs the Scale plan's Extended Licence
- Tight if you stay free: 1 project, 5 screens and watermarks on Pro features
- Too light for A/B testing, because it makes variants but doesn't track results
- Watch out: the pricing page shows yearly billing only, so the monthly price is unclear
Why AppScreens gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyPro is $8.25 a month on yearly billing, under the $9.90 where the cheaper quarter of this category starts. Scale is $15 and is the one that licenses client work.
- CFree plan and trialFree for good with no card, but 1 saved project, 5 screens and watermarked previews of Pro features. You'll hit that on a second app.
- CFeaturesOne design exported to every store size, translation, store upload, templates and AI captions. It does the screenshot job fully, which is a smaller job than keywords or A/B results; it doesn't track test results.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. It's a web editor where you build each screenshot set yourself.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, but it connects to App Store Connect and Google Play Console and has an MCP server.

Keep AppScreens, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace AppScreens you would be making keyword rankings and popularity scores from both app stores, gathered every day. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 34 of the 49 other app store optimization tools we grade. It costs $99 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Keyword rankings and popularity scores from both app stores, gathered every day.
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- It plugs into other products, App Store Connect, Google Play Console and MCP among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. AppScreens’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
