A comparison built only from what each product publishes. Shipshot's numbers come from the product; AppLaunchpad's come from its live public site, checked on August 5, 2026. Where that page did not state something, this page says so instead of guessing.
What the checked AppLaunchpad page states
On the checked date AppLaunchpad's live product site was https://theapplaunchpad.com. The homepage presents AppLaunchpad as a free App Store and Google Play screenshot generator for customised store images in the resolutions Apple and Google require.
Pricing amounts, exact export targets, template counts and the localization workflow were not verified from a dedicated public pricing page for this comparison, so they are recorded below as not stated rather than estimated. The older applaunchpad.com hostname is not the product site.

What to check before you move any screenshot tool
These are the questions that decide whether an export survives the upload, whichever tool you end up with.
- Does it export the exact pixel sizes your listing needs, or only something close? Apple rejects a file that is one pixel out.
- Does it strip the alpha channel? A PNG that looks opaque and still carries alpha is the most common App Store Connect rejection.
- Does the free tier watermark the export? Shipshot's does, and says so before you spend an afternoon in the editor.
- Can captions be edited per language, or only machine-translated? Text that fits in English will overflow in German.
- Who uploads the files — you, or the tool? ZIP download is always available. Pro and Scale can also push a saved ZIP with keys you supply.
What Shipshot does not do
Shipshot always offers ZIP download. Listing push is optional on Pro and Scale and uses App Store Connect or Play Console keys you supply — it does not take an action on a listing you did not start. It previews the language you are editing, one at a time, rather than rendering every language side by side. Screenshots and the 1024×500 Google Play feature graphic are separate Studio canvases.
If unattended store submission is the thing you are switching for, another tool is the better answer, and this page would rather say that than lose the point in a feature grid.
Everything you need for the next screenshot set
Localization
Qwen translates missing editable captions across all 85 caption languages, with 8 curated core languages featured in the editor; review and edit every result before export. Translation and non-English preview need Pro or Scale; free projects stay in English.
Devices and backgrounds
Use real device frames, frameless screens, soft clay renders, and angled poses.
Preview and export
Export store-ready files for manual upload to App Store Connect and Google Play Console. Pro and Scale can also push a saved ZIP into those listing versions.
Editable caption workflow
Write and refine benefit-led captions for each supported preview language.
Plans that match your workflow
Basic includes 1 project, up to 5 screenshots per size, and watermarked exports for all 17 store targets. Pro includes 10 projects, 10 screenshots per size, and English + 5 additional locales (6 total). Scale includes unlimited projects, 25 screenshots per size, all 85 caption languages, and an extended licence. Every plan exports the same 17 store targets for manual upload.
Frequently asked questions
Screenshot workflow questions
Is Shipshot a free AppLaunchpad alternative?
There is a free plan: 1 project, up to 5 screenshots, and exports for all 17 store targets carrying a Shipshot watermark. Pro at $24.99/month or $99/year removes the watermark; Scale at $44.99/month or $180/year adds unlimited projects and all 85 caption languages.
Does Shipshot export the same sizes as AppLaunchpad?
Shipshot publishes all 17 of its export targets and their exact pixel dimensions. AppLaunchpad's checked public page describes Apple- and Google-required resolutions without naming the targets, so the two cannot be compared line by line from public information alone.
Can Shipshot upload my screenshots to the stores?
ZIP download is on every plan. Pro and Scale can also push a saved ZIP into App Store Connect or Play Console listings.
How many languages does Shipshot preview?
85, on any paid plan — free accounts stay in English. Eight of them — English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic — are the curated core languages the editor features up front. Qwen translates the editable captions that are missing a translation, you review and edit every result, and Arabic renders with genuine right-to-left layout rather than mirrored text.
Do I keep the right to use the exports commercially?
Yes. Every plan carries a licence for your own store listings — a free licence on Basic, a standard licence on Pro, and an extended licence on Scale that covers client work.
