What App Store screenshots
actually cost.

Every option priced honestly, from a free weekend in Figma to a $2,500 agency invoice. Short version: you are paying for design, copywriting, and store-spec sizing. The question is whether you pay in dollars or in days.

The fine print

The costs nobody quotes upfront.

Whatever route you pick, these are the line items that surprise first-time founders.

Per-device sizingiPhone 6.9″, iPad 13″, and Google Play each demand different exact pixel dimensions. A quote for "10 screenshots" often means one device size, not the 30 to 40 images a real listing needs.
CopywritingThe headline on each frame sells the app more than the pixels do. Designers design; many quotes assume you supply the words.
RevisionsFixed-price gigs commonly include 1 or 2 revision rounds. A new feature next month usually means paying again.
Spec driftApple updates required sizes most Septembers with new devices. Screenshots bought last year may need re-exporting this year.
Your launch momentumA 5-day design turnaround is a 5-day submission delay. For a solo dev, the calendar cost often outweighs the invoice.
Localization multiplierSelling in multiple languages multiplies the set. Ten locales can mean 300+ images, which is where per-image pricing explodes.
FAQ

Costs, answered.

How much does it cost to hire a designer for App Store screenshots?

A freelance designer typically charges $800 to $2,500 for a complete store screenshot set, delivered in 3 to 7 days. Fiverr sellers run $50 to $150 but quality and store-spec accuracy vary a lot, and revisions usually cost extra.

Can I make App Store screenshots for free?

Yes. Figma and Sketch are free or cheap, and Apple publishes the required dimensions. The real cost is time: budget a weekend or two to design, size, and export 30 to 40 images across iPhone, iPad, and Android, more if you iterate.

What do screenshot template marketplaces cost?

Template packs run $30 to $80. You still do the work: dropping in your screens, writing every headline, and exporting each store size yourself, usually 2 to 4 hours per app if nothing goes wrong.

Why do designers charge so much for store screenshots?

You are paying for three separate skills: visual composition, marketing copywriting for every frame, and pixel-exact export across each store's required sizes. Doing all three well takes a professional several days per app.

How much does Appliftoff cost?

$19 one time per app, no subscription. One upload of raw screenshots returns 40 store-ready shots across iPhone 6.9 inch, 6.7 inch, iPad 13 inch, and Android, with AI-written headlines you can edit per shot. You can preview one shot free without signing up.

Do subscription screenshot tools make sense for a single app?

Usually not. Editor-style tools run $15 to $30 per month and you still design each frame yourself. Subscriptions make sense for agencies shipping many apps, not for an indie launching one.

Or spend nineteen bucks
and three minutes.
