| Question | AppMockup | appscreenshotapi |
|---|---|---|
| Primary workflow | Manual mockup and screenshot workflow | JSON API, CI jobs, and coding agents |
| Repeatable releases | Manual/editor-driven unless automated separately | Idempotent render jobs and stable request files |
| Localization | Usually managed inside the editor | Locale lists and per-locale copy in the request |
| Output | Designed screenshots from a visual workflow | CDN image URLs, lint JSON, and Fastlane-ready ZIPs |
How to choose
If a marketer or designer wants to manually adjust a one-off campaign, an editor can be the faster fit. If a release process needs to regenerate dozens of screenshots after every UI or copy change, an API becomes the cleaner primitive.
The durable handoff is the request file: captures in, store-ready assets out, with lint findings that an agent or CI job can read.
Migration path
Start by recreating the existing set as a JSON render spec. Keep the same app captures and copy, then move device frames, colors, canvas presets, and locale output into reusable request fields.
FAQ
Is appscreenshotapi a AppMockup clone?
No. The positioning is API-first screenshot infrastructure, not a browser editor. It is meant for repeatable automation and agent workflows.
