Who should switch to AppShot?
- You update screenshots a few times a year, so a yearly subscription costs more than it is worth.
- You want AI-translated captions without paying per language: AppShot uses your own AI key, and Groq offers one for free.
- You prefer no account and keeping projects on your own computer.
When is AppScreens the better choice?
- You localize into more than 17 languages, or need locales AppShot does not cover (for example Hebrew, Vietnamese or Thai).
- You want one-click uploads, custom product pages or product page optimization tests straight from the editor.
- You need every device size, including Android tablets, Chromebooks, Apple Watch, Mac or Vision Pro.
- An agency licence for client work matters to you (AppScreens Scale).
How do I move my screenshots from AppScreens to AppShot?
There is no direct import. Export your raw app screenshots (the UI captures, not the finished designs), open the AppShot studio, pick a template, drop in your screenshots and paste your captions. Then translate and export.
