Mockly vs Placeit
Placeit offers thousands of templates across logos, mockups, and video intros. Mockly does one thing — animate your screenshot in a device frame with a scroll effect — and does it with fewer clicks.
Try Mockly FreeWhat Placeit does well
Placeit's strength is breadth: a huge template library covering static mockups, logo templates, video intros, and more, useful when you need a wide variety of design assets from one subscription.
Where Mockly is a better fit
If your specific need is a video mockup of a screenshot scrolling inside a device frame, Mockly's focused editor gets you there without browsing a large template catalog first. Settings like scroll speed, pause points, and device size are all directly adjustable, not baked into a fixed template.
Which one should you use
Placeit makes sense if you need a broad library of design assets beyond just device mockups. Mockly makes sense when the task is specifically an animated scroll mockup video, and you want fine control over pacing and framing without picking through unrelated templates.
Frequently asked questions

Mockly's Pro plan is $4.99/month for unlimited watermark-free exports, and the free plan covers a limited number of exports daily at no cost — worth comparing directly against Placeit's plan if device mockup videos are your main need.
Yes, video export (MP4, 1080p or 4K) is Mockly's primary output, alongside a separate still-image export option.
