AppLaunchpad is a well-known tool with one of the deepest template libraries in the category. Launch Shots is the more modern alternative — free with no export watermarks, translation into 84 store languages, and direct upload to App Store Connect and Google Play Console rather than a manual export step.
AppLaunchpad is one of the longest-running app screenshot generators on the web. It covers both the App Store and Google Play, ships a large template and graphics library, and offers bulk localization on its paid plan. There is a free tier with a limited template selection and watermarked exports; the Pro plan is a subscription, listed by their help centre at $29/month or $180/year, and they run periodic discount codes.
The template and graphics library is one of the deepest available, which matters a great deal if you would rather start from a finished layout than a blank canvas. It has also been around long enough to be a safe, familiar choice.
The free tier watermarks exports and limits which templates you can use, so in practice AppLaunchpad is a paid tool. People move to Launch Shots for a free plan that watermarks no export, and for direct upload to both stores with multi-account support — useful if you ship more than one app or work across client accounts.
Developers who want a very large ready-made template library and are comfortable with a monthly subscription.

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 AppLaunchpad free?
There is a free tier, but it limits which templates you can use and watermarks exports. The full library and localization require the Pro subscription, which their help centre lists at $29/month or $180/year. They run discount codes from time to time, so check their pricing page for the current rate.
Is Launch Shots a free AppLaunchpad alternative?
Yes. Launch Shots is free with no export watermarks on any plan, covers both iOS and Android, and adds direct upload to App Store Connect and Google Play Console. The free plan includes one full screenshot set per month and 3 translation languages; credits or the $39 Launch Kit lift that without committing to a subscription.
Which has more templates?
AppLaunchpad — its library is considerably larger than our 100+. If breadth of ready-made layouts is your main criterion, that is a real point in their favour. Launch Shots focuses instead on the parts after the design: exact store dimensions, translation, and publishing straight to both stores.
