Two capabilities that separate Screenhance from every other mockup tool in 2026: animated exports and App Store screenshot localization.
Template-driven motion — float, reveal, parallax. Export animated mockups at Product Hunt, landing-page, and Twitter/X dimensions. Most mockup tools are static-only.
One master design, per-locale captions, every required Apple and Google Play size per language. RTL and CJK support. Apple reports localized listings drive 2-3x install lifts.
iPhone 17 Pro Max (1320×2868), iPhone Air (1260×2736), iPad Pro M4 (2064×2752), and the full Google Play set — exported from one design in a single pass.
Pick a template, drop in your screenshot, export. No Figma, no Photoshop, no learning curve. Free tier covers 3 exports a month; the $6 Launch Pass covers a launch with 10 watermark-free image exports.

Quickly create mockups for client proposals and portfolio showcases without extra costs.
Free mockup tools are not actually free — they recover the cost somewhere, and where they recover it determines how much it actually costs you. The most common hidden cost is the watermark. A small "Made with X" logo in the corner of your App Store screenshot signals to reviewers and prospective users that the product is being marketed on a shoestring. Whether that's true or not, perception costs install rate.
The second hidden cost is export resolution. Most free tiers cap exports at 1x or 2x, which looks fine on phones but renders soft on Retina laptops, 4K monitors, and any modern social platform that compresses uploads. Soft images don't lose a customer outright — they just gradually erode the perception that your product is well-built. By the time you notice, you've been shipping degraded marketing for months.
The third is the upsell churn. Tools that price aggressively for the free tier usually compensate by funnelling you through aggressive upgrade prompts mid-task. You upload a screenshot, get halfway through a design, and discover the export format you need is paywalled. Every interruption is a small tax on your time, multiplied across every mockup you ship.
The fourth, often invisible, cost is template drift. Free tools cycle templates to keep the catalog feeling fresh, which means the template you used six months ago may no longer be available. When you need to update a mockup, you can't reuse the original — you start from scratch. Paid tiers generally preserve template availability, which compounds in value the more mockups you ship over time.
The free tier is genuinely enough when your volume is low and your audience is forgiving. Indie developers shipping one mockup a month for a side project, students building portfolio work, and hackathon teams putting together a launch deck rarely benefit from a paid plan. Three exports a month covers their actual usage, and watermarks don't damage the contexts they're shipping into.
It's also enough for testing. Before committing to any mockup tool for a serious launch, building two or three mockups on the free tier is the fastest way to learn whether the templates, frames, and export options match what you actually need. If you find yourself fighting the tool — wrong device, wrong export format, wrong style — that's a signal to try a different free tier before paying for anything.
Free tier fails the moment you're shipping for revenue. App Store listings, landing pages, paid ads, sales decks, and investor presentations all benefit measurably from watermark-free exports at full Retina resolution. The cost of a paid plan — usually a few dollars a week — is trivial against the conversion lift from polished visuals, which is why almost every commercial team upgrades within their first month.
A practical rule: stay on free for personal projects and exploration. Upgrade the moment your mockups start carrying real commercial weight. If you're comparing options, our pages on the full mockup generator, App Store screenshot maker, and Product Hunt gallery generator all share the same free tier — three exports per month, full template access, no fake limits on which frames you can use.
Yes! Screenhance offers a genuinely free plan with 3 exports per month. You get access to all device frames, templates, and backgrounds. No signup or credit card required to start creating.
No signup is required to start creating mockups. You can browse templates, upload screenshots, and preview your mockups without an account. You only need an account to export and download your finished mockups.
The free plan includes a small Screenhance watermark on exports. Pro plans remove watermarks entirely and unlock higher resolution exports up to 3x Retina quality.
You can create device mockups with iPhone, MacBook, iPad, Android, and browser frames. Add gradient backgrounds, shadows, and text overlays. Export as PNG, WebP, or JPEG. Perfect for app store listings, social media, landing pages, and presentations.
Usually the watermark, capped export resolution, and template drift. Watermarks signal low effort to App Store reviewers and prospective users. Capped resolution renders soft on Retina and 4K. And templates often rotate out, so older designs can't be updated without starting from scratch — a cost you don't see until you need it.
When your mockups start carrying commercial weight: App Store listings, landing pages, paid ads, sales decks, or investor presentations. For personal projects, side projects, and exploration, the free tier is genuinely enough. The line is whether soft exports or watermarks would damage the context you're shipping into.
Yes. Exports from the free plan can be used for commercial purposes including App Store listings, websites, ads, and client work. The only restriction is the watermark, which most teams remove by upgrading the moment the mockup represents real revenue.
Screenhance gives you full template and frame access on free with three exports a month. Shots.so allows five exports but a narrower frame catalog. Smartmockups watermarks every export on free. Placeit limits free downloads heavily. For most indie use cases the differences are minor; for sustained commercial work, all four tools push you to paid.
