Checked on the US App Store listing in October 2026. This page is about Shotbot - Framed Screenshots by Richard Witherspoon. It is a different product from shotbot.net, which captures web pages.

Where Shotbot is strong

A screenshot can be framed from the share sheet, a widget, or a Shortcut without opening a browser studio.
The app detects the device and drops the capture into a matching frame.
Combined mode lines several framed shots up in one wide image.
Unlimited is an annual App Store purchase. On the US listing that price is $4.99.
Framing stays in the Apple app you already use for screenshots.

Where Shotbot falls short for listing decks

It frames images. It does not lay out headlines, backgrounds, or an App Store slide set.
Frames are Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. There is no Android phone frame for Play.
It runs on Apple hardware. Windows and a typical Android phone are out.
The free tier limits how many frames you can make per day.
There is no locale workflow and no ZIP of store-sized slides.

What AppScreenPro does differently

AppScreenPro starts from a store-sized canvas with copy and a device frame together.
You can export an iPhone, iPad, or Android phone deck as PNG or ZIP. Shotbot saves framed pictures.
Studio runs in the browser, including on Windows. Shotbot requires a recent iPhone, iPad, Apple silicon Mac, or Vision Pro.
Shotbot is the right tool for a quick bezel on a capture you are about to Slack. It is the wrong tool when App Store Connect needs a set of captioned slides.
Pro is $29 once for the studio features. Shotbot Unlimited is cheaper if a frame is all you need.

Stay on Shotbot if

You want a frame around one screenshot on your iPhone or Mac, immediately.
The image is for a message, a README, or a how-to, and the store listing is a separate job.
Shortcuts, widgets, and the share sheet are the workflow you already use.

Switch to AppScreenPro if

You opened Shotbot to produce the App Store or Play screenshot set.
You need headlines, backgrounds, and several slides in one export.
You need an Android frame or a Windows machine.
You want locale variants of the same deck.
