Screenhance is a mockup generator and App Store screenshot tool with animated GIF and WebM exports, App Store and Google Play screenshot sets, and a one-time $6 Week Pass for launches.
Shots.so is a minimalist, indie-favourite screenshot beautifier with a strong free tier. Excellent for one-off quick shots; not built for App Store screenshot sets or full launch kits.

Honest about the tradeoffs. Shots.so wins on these things.
If you just want a clean browser frame or a single phone shot for a tweet, Shots.so is fast and the UI is delightful. The minimalist interface gets out of your way.
Shots.so's free tier covers most casual use cases — drop in a screenshot, add a gradient, export. If you only need a few mockups per month and don't care about App Store sets or animation, the free tier covers you.
Shots.so has a strong design identity favored by indie hackers and developer Twitter. If that's your audience and you want visuals that fit the aesthetic, Shots.so nails it.
The reasons people switch from Shots.so to Screenhance.
Screenhance is purpose-built for App Store submissions — design one screenshot set, export every required Apple size (6.9", 6.7", 6.5", 5.5", iPad 13") plus Google Play sizes. Shots.so doesn't have this workflow.
Screenhance has 1270×760 Product Hunt gallery templates and 1200×630 OG card templates built in. Shots.so leaves these to other tools.
Screenhance ships with 100+ templates with backgrounds, text overlays, and device compositions ready to use. Shots.so leans on a smaller template set and expects you to compose visuals manually.
Screenhance exports animated GIF and WebM with a motion-effect library. Critical for Product Hunt galleries, hero loops, and changelog announcements. Shots.so's animation support is limited.
Pick Screenhance
you're shipping a real launch — App Store, Google Play, Product Hunt, or a SaaS landing page — and need screenshot sets, animated exports, and pre-designed templates rather than building each visual from scratch.

Depends on the job. For one-off screenshots, Shots.so is excellent. For a real launch (App Store sets, Product Hunt galleries, OG cards, animated exports), Screenhance is built for that workflow and Shots.so isn't. Many makers use both: Shots.so for quick shots, Screenhance for launches.
Shots.so has a free tier and paid tiers around $4–5/month historically. Screenhance is $8/month Pro or a $6 one-time Week Pass. Roughly similar pricing — the difference is what you get for it: Screenhance includes App Store sets, animated exports, and 100+ templates.
Shots.so can render individual device mockups, but it does not have a workflow that exports every required Apple screenshot size (6.9", 6.7", 6.5", 5.5", iPad 13") from one design. Screenhance is built for that workflow.
Shots.so has a deserved reputation for clean UI. Screenhance's design tone is different — closer to a launch-kit assembler than a single-shot beautifier. Try both free; the right fit depends on whether you're making one image or a launch kit.
Screenhance currently ships 43 device frames including iPhone 16, 15, and 14 Pro, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and browser frames in light and dark. Shots.so covers the core devices but a narrower set overall.
