Rotato vs Shots

Rotato creates 3D mockup images and videos by showing app and web designs on device screens. Its library includes more than 30 device mockups, covering phones, tablets, laptops, desktops and websites, and it accepts more than 50 image and video formats. An animation timeline with keyframes supports device animations. A free Figma plugin can render designs as 3D mockups and place 4K renders in Figma. Rotato describes 4K video export at 60fps and ProRes 4444 export with alpha channels. It says designs remain on the user's hard drive rather than being sent to a server, and describes the product as offline-first. Rotato offers a free plan and trial, and says all features can be tried free without a credit card. Paid plans are each listed at $69, paid once: Basic includes phone mockups and no templates; Standard includes 30+ mockup devices and 18 premium video templates; Premium includes 100 premium video templates and 30+ devices. The desktop app requires macOS; a public browser beta is described as Rotato for Windows.
