Comparison

A browser Rotato alternative
for complete 3D store sets.

Rotato made macOS 3D mockups famous. AppScreenDesign brings interactive 3D device rendering into any modern browser alongside 5-panel connected storyboards, 50 App Store locales, and headless server/MCP automation.

Practical walkthrough

Build 3D store sets from any OS or agent.

Combine real-time 3D device rendering with multi-panel App Store storyboards in your browser.

  1. Arrange all panels side-by-side

    Edit 5–10 connected or standalone 3D scenes on one unified storyboard in Chrome or Safari.

  2. Fine-tune camera, case and lighting

    Dial in exact pitch, yaw, roll and physical contact shadows per panel.

  3. Render in the cloud or via MCP

    Trigger deterministic high-DPI exports from macOS, Windows, Linux or headless CI pipelines.

01

Design all 10 panels side-by-side

See visual rhythm, headline alignment and panoramic bridges across your entire App Store set simultaneously.

02

Exploded 3D UI layers

Float cropped UI cards in front of angled 3D hardware with independent depth and shadows—all editable in the browser.

03

Automate from CI or Claude Code

Render updated 3D store screenshots from Linux CI runners or AI agents without needing a local Mac GUI session.

When to pick each tool

If your primary goal is exporting animated 3D promo MP4s on macOS, Rotato specializes in motion. If your goal is shipping, localizing and maintaining high-converting static 3D App Store & Google Play screenshot sets across devices and languages, AppScreenDesign is purpose-built for that job.

Instant shareable store simulation

Test how your 3D renders actually look inside iOS Search results and Dark Mode product pages before uploading to App Store Connect.

Questions

Before you start.

Can I start on the Free plan without a credit card?

Yes. Free ($0 forever) includes the full 3D browser studio, ready-made template library, Remote MCP access to test AI agents, and unlimited draft projects with watermarked preview exports.

Are AI-generated layouts flattened into static images?

Never. Every scene stays an editable multi-layer SceneDoc with live text, 3D hardware poses, backgrounds, vector badges and per-locale overrides.

Does AppScreenDesign charge markup on AI tokens?

No ($0 AI markup). Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex via https://appscreendesign.com/mcp using the AI subscription you already have.
