# Best AppScreens alternatives for App Store and Google Play screenshots (2026) > The best AppScreens alternatives are AppLaunchpad if you want another web tool with many templates and localization, Figma if you want full design control, fastlane frameit if you want free automated framing in a build pipeline, and Appalize Shots or Store Screenshot Maker if you want to make screenshots on your iPhone. People look beyond AppScreens because its free plan is limited and localization and direct store upload are on paid plans, and you still design the set yourself. Appalize Shots is a mobile app with six editable layouts, device frames and captions, multi-screen editing with undo and redo, and full-resolution PNG, multi-size ZIP and editable backup exports, with no account; it does not translate captions or upload to the stores, and it is new with no ratings yet. Canva is the easiest for non-designers but has no store-specific size checks. If you localize into dozens of languages, AppScreens may still be the right tool. Updated 2026-11-02 by ODEL.
