What AppMockUp is
From its own site (checked October 2026), AppMockUp Studio is a web tool for App Store and Google Play screenshots that is free and needs no account. It offers templates for many kinds of app; real, clay or solid-colour device frames you can resize and rotate, including one that continues across two screenshots; colour, gradient, image or panoramic backgrounds with pattern and mesh-gradient generators; batch creation from a folder of captures; and a preview of the set in each store.
The site does not list paid plans or AI design.

Making a set in each
In AppMockUp you pick a template, drop in screens (or a whole folder), style the background and frames, write the text and export.
In Nuvex the AI makes those choices from your screens and description, and writes the headlines; you edit by asking.
When AppMockUp is the better choice
Honestly, in these cases:
A capable editor for free is the right answer if you have more time than money.
AppMockUp covers both stores.
Folder-in, screenshots-out is fast for large sets.
Questions
Is AppMockUp really free?
Its site lists it as free with no account and shows no paid plans (checked October 2026).
Why pay for Nuvex if AppMockUp is free?
You are paying for the design work: the AI plans the set, writes the headlines and lays out every frame. If you would rather do that yourself, a free editor is the better deal.
Can I combine them?
Yes: design a direction in Nuvex, then rebuild Android versions in an editor.
