Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 34 of the 49 other app store optimization tools we grade
AppScreens is a web editor for making App Store and Google Play screenshots from one responsive design. It exports every device size, translates captions into 80+ languages and can upload finished sets to App Store Connect and Google Play. AI captions and an MCP server for AI agents are part of the product.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about AppScreens, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's a web editor where you build each screenshot set yourself.

AppScreens makes App Store and Google Play screenshots in a browser and translates them into 80+ languages on Pro.

It runs on Web
Web.

A single responsive design is exported to the device sizes the stores ask for. Free covers essential iOS and Android sizes; paid plans cover all of them.
- 6
Localization
Pro and Scale translate captions into 80+ languages, including right-to-left ones, and keep the localized layouts in the same project.
- 7
Direct store upload
Pro and Scale upload to App Store Connect and Google Play Console in one click, including Apple Custom Product Pages and Product Page Optimization variants.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 34 of 49

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Developers shipping localized store screenshots for several markets
- Teams that want upload to App Store Connect and Google Play from the editor
- Agencies producing screenshots for clients (Scale plan)
Worth knowing
- The page shows annual billing; the monthly-billed price was not in the page text we could read.
- Free is capped at 5 screens and 1 saved project, and Pro features show with watermarks.
- Client work needs the Scale plan's Extended Licence; Pro covers only apps you or your organization own.
- AppScreens does not track A/B test results itself; it produces variants to test in the stores.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
