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. - **Value for money: B.** Pro 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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free 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. - **Features: C.** One 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It's a web editor where you build each screenshot set yourself. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, but it connects to App Store Connect and Google Play Console and has an MCP server.

It costs $99 a year. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Keyword rankings and popularity scores from both app stores, gathered every day. - You could not: Capture tools hooked into the operating system. - You could not: It plugs into other products, App Store Connect, Google Play Console and MCP among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
