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

Shotlingo is a browser tool for designing App Store screenshots once and translating the captions into 41 languages. It renders every page for each language and size into a ZIP, and paid plans can upload straight to App Store Connect. It also offers a Claude connector (MCP) and AI design credits.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Shotlingo, taken from its own pages and our grades.

It's a web editor where you build the screenshots yourself.
From our grade for ease of use
  1. 1

    Best for App Store screenshots with built-in translation

    Shotlingo designs App Store screenshots once and translates them.

  2. 2

    Paid plans start at $9 a month

    As its pricing page puts it: $9 per month, billed monthly.

  3. 3

    There is a free plan

    20 export credits a month, 100 translations a day, 3 cloud projects and 10 pages per project.

  4. 4

    It runs on Web

  5. 5

    Design once, translate

    Captions are written once and translated per locale in a table, where each cell can be edited by hand. The layout is not duplicated per language.

  6. 6

    Device mockups

    Raw simulator screenshots are fitted into a plain iPhone frame, an angled 3D render or a hand holding the phone, without manual masking.

  7. 7

    ZIP export

    Every page in every selected language is rendered into one archive, nested by device size when a project has several.

  8. 8

    A 2.4 GPA, above 34 of 49

    That is against the other app store optimization tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  9. 9

    Keep it

    To replace Shotlingo 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.

The report card

Best for App Store screenshots with built-in translation

Shotlingo designs App Store screenshots once and translates them. Every exported file uses a credit, 20 a month on free and 300 on the $9 Pro plan, and only the Apple store is named for upload.

ToolGPA report cardShotlingoGraded Nov 13, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyBPro is $9 a month billed monthly, just under the $9.90 where the cheaper quarter starts. Plus is $19 and Studio $39.
Free plan and trialCA free plan with 20 export credits a month, 3 cloud projects and 10 pages each. One credit per exported file means a few languages will use it up.
FeaturesCDesign once and translate, device mockups, ZIP export, App Store Connect upload and a Claude connector. No Google Play upload is mentioned, and the pages disagree on which plan includes App Store upload.
Ease of useCNo store rating on record. It's a web editor where you build the screenshots yourself.
Platforms and integrationsBWeb only, with App Store Connect upload and a Claude connector.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.4

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 Shotlingo is for

  • Fits if you ship an iPhone app in several languages
  • Works for solo developers who export a few sets a month

Who it is not for

  • Tight if you stay free: 20 credits a month, 3 projects and 10 pages each
  • Skip it if you need Google Play upload, as only Apple's store is named
  • Watch out: the homepage ties App Store upload to Plus, while the pricing page lists it on Pro
  • Pricey if you export a lot, as 300 credits on Pro runs out fast with many languages

Good to know

Good for

  • Indie developers localizing screenshots into many languages
  • Solo makers who want a free tier with export credits

Worth knowing

  • Each exported file uses one credit, so credits cap how many screenshots you can export a month.
  • The homepage ties App Store Connect upload to the Plus plan, but the pricing page lists it on Pro too.
  • The vendor offers a 14-day money-back guarantee.
  • Only the Apple App Store is named for upload; no Google Play upload is mentioned.

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 Shotlingo 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 $108 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.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

What this rests on. Shotlingo’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.
