Mockly vs AppLaunchpad
AppLaunchpad is built to generate a set of static App Store screenshots with captions and backgrounds. Mockly is built to generate the animated preview video that plays alongside those screenshots.
Try Mockly FreeWhat AppLaunchpad does well
AppLaunchpad's screenshot templates with captions and device frames are purpose-built for the static screenshot grid that App Store and Play Store listings require.
Where Mockly is a better fit
App Store and Play Store listings also support a short preview video slot, separate from the screenshot grid — that's specifically what Mockly generates, animating one of your existing screenshots into a scrolling clip.
Which one should you use
Many teams use both: static captioned screenshots from a tool like AppLaunchpad for the screenshot grid, and an animated Mockly export for the preview video slot at the top of the listing.
