AppScreens is a reasonable choice if you want localization and auto-upload bundled into one subscription and you are shipping enough to use them. Launch Shots gives you a free plan with no export watermarks, direct upload to both stores, and a free ASO console — with credits and the Launch Kit as one-time payments instead of a recurring plan.
AppScreens is a web-based screenshot generator focused on multi-store deployment. Its free tier covers a single project and app with a small template selection and a cap of five screenshots. The paid Pro plan adds more projects and a handful of locales; the Scale plan adds unlimited projects, a much wider locale set, Custom Product Page uploads and an extended licence. Both are subscriptions — see their pricing page for current rates, which have changed more than once.
AppScreens' store reach is broader than most generators, and the Scale plan's Custom Product Page and Product Page Optimization uploads are genuinely useful if you run store-listing experiments — that is a workflow most screenshot tools ignore entirely.
The free tier is tightly capped — one project, one app, a handful of templates and five screenshots — so evaluating it properly means paying first. People move to Launch Shots for a free plan you can actually ship one app from, for the ASO console being free rather than a paid add-on, and for the option to pay once with credits or the $39 Launch Kit rather than subscribing.
Teams comfortable on a subscription who want multi-store coverage and auto-upload in a single tool.

The other half of a launch: the copy around your screenshots, and what it ranks for.
The copy around your screenshots is half the listing, and it is usually the half that gets edited in a browser tab at midnight. Launch Shots reads it from the store, keeps every locale in one place, tracks what each one ranks for, and writes it back when you are ready.
Listing — every locale
One grid · every locale · written back
- 01
Pull the live listing
Connect App Store Connect or Google Play with your own credentials, add an app, and every locale you have already published comes down as an editable draft.
- 02
Edit every field
Name, subtitle, description, keywords, promotional text, what’s new. Each one is checked against the store’s character limit while you write, so nothing gets rejected on submission.
- 03
Translate the rest
Write once in your source language and translate into the others. When the source copy moves, only the translations that went stale are flagged — hand-edited ones are left alone.
- 04
Publish copy and screenshots together
Bind your screenshot sets to a locale and push both back in one run. Anything that changed on the store since you pulled is shown side by side before a word is written.
- 05
Watch what it actually ranks for
The ASO console scores the listing against the store’s own rules, reads a keyword’s rank daily and charts it, and tells you whether your last edit moved anything. Free on every plan, including the free one.
Pulling, editing and translating are free. Credits are only spent when something is written to the store — 1 per locale published.
Launch in every language, not just English.
Translate a single screenshot into every App Store & Play Store language in one click. AI preserves your layout, fonts, and design — no re-design, no manual copy-paste. Right-to-left scripts and non-Latin characters just work.

Frequently asked
Is AppScreens free?
There is a free tier, but it is limited to one project, one app, four templates and five screenshots — enough to try the editor, not enough to ship a full listing. Pro and Scale are subscriptions; check their pricing page for current rates.
Is Launch Shots a better AppScreens alternative?
It depends what you need. Launch Shots is more generous on the free plan — no export watermarks, no project cap, one full screenshot set a month, and the ASO console included free — and lets you pay once with credits or the $39 Launch Kit instead of subscribing. AppScreens is the better fit if you specifically want its Custom Product Page and Product Page Optimization upload workflow.
Do both upload directly to the stores?
Yes. AppScreens auto-uploads on its paid plans. Launch Shots uploads to App Store Connect and Google Play Console on every plan, spending one credit per set, and supports connecting multiple store accounts and switching between them.
