Previewed alternative: Storeshot vs Previewed for App Store screenshots
Samer Alatawneh · Founder of Storeshot
If you're searching for an Previewed alternative, it's usually for one of three reasons: the free tier's 720p exports and attribution license, wanting store-ready screenshots rather than general device mockups, or needing the listing copy written alongside the images. This is an honest look at how Storeshot compares to Previewed — where each one wins, and which fits your workflow.
I'm Samer, founder of Storeshot, so read this as a vendor comparison — but I've kept it factual and flagged where Previewed is genuinely the better choice.
What Previewed does well
Previewed (previewed.app) is a device-mockup tool first and an App Store screenshot tool second, and that breadth is its strength. It renders 2D images, 3D snapshots from any angle, and 3D animations of iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and iMac frames entirely in the browser, with a template library for App Store and Google Play sets, promotional banners, and social posts. As of September 2026 the Lite plan is free forever with unlimited 2D exports at 720p under a CC-attribution license; Plus is a $9.99 one-time fee for 10 exports at 1080p and above with 3D and 30fps video; and Pro is $19/month (billed $228 a year) for unlimited exports, 60fps video, and a commercial license. If you need one tool for store screenshots, a launch video, and a hero image for your website, Previewed covers all three.
Why people look for an alternative
- Free exports are 720p. Apple's 6.9-inch iPhone master is 1260×2736 and the 13-inch iPad master is 2064×2752. A 720p export is below both, so the free tier can't produce a store-ready master; you need Plus or Pro for full resolution. Storeshot's free generations are exported at exact store dimensions with no watermark.
- It's a mockup canvas, not a set composer. Previewed gives you frames, angles, and backgrounds to arrange. The headline copy, colour story, and consistency across five or ten panels are still your design job.
- No listing copy. Previewed makes images and video. Your App Store title, subtitle, keywords, and descriptions are a separate task. Storeshot drafts them in 12 languages for one credit.

- Pick Previewed if you want one tool for device mockups, 3D renders, and launch videos, and you're happy to design each panel yourself.
- Pick Storeshot if you want full-resolution, store-ready screenshots composed for you from raw screens, with the listing copy written too, and no monthly bill.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Previewed alternative?
For store screenshots specifically, Storeshot: AI composes a full-resolution set from your raw screens and writes your ASO copy, with 2 free generations and one-time credits. For another mockup editor with 3D, Screenshots Pro is the closest; AppMockUp Studio is the best fully free one.
Can I use Previewed's free plan for App Store screenshots?
Not as a final master. As of September 2026 the free Lite plan exports 2D images at 720p with an attribution license, and Apple's required masters are 1260×2736 (iPhone 6.9″) and 2064×2752 (iPad 13″). You need the $9.99 Plus pack or the Pro plan for full-resolution exports.
How is Storeshot different from Previewed?
Previewed is a general device-mockup tool with 3D and video output that you design in. Storeshot is App Store and Google Play only: AI plans palette, typography, headlines, and layout from your raw screens, exports at exact store sizes, and writes your listing copy in 12 languages.
