Prices are from each maker's website, checked in October and November 2026.
Mockup Center
A Mac app for 3D device mockups, animated videos and photo mockups in one place. It has 65 devices, 57 animations and more than 250 photo mockups. Animations line up on a timeline one after another, and it exports up to 8K, including transparent ProRes 4444.
The free plan has no time limit. Premium is a one-time payment at half the price of Rotato Premium.
The catch: it's Mac only for now. A web version and a Figma plugin are in development.
Rotato
The name most people think of for 3D mockups on the Mac. Excellent render quality, path-traced stills and a Figma plugin. One-time prices: $79 for phones only, $89, and $199 for Premium with 100 templates.
There are no photo mockups and the device list is around 30. We compare the two in detail on the Rotato alternative page.
freemockup.video
A browser tool for 3D mockup videos. It needs no install, which helps on Windows. There's a free tier and a plan at $9 a month or $72 a year. It had 16 devices when we checked.
ls.graphics
Known for high-resolution photo mockups, with a web editor, a Figma plugin and layered PSD and 6K PNG exports. Pro is $15 a month, or $8.25 a month billed yearly. Moving 3D mockups aren't its focus.
Mockuuups Studio
One of the largest photo mockup libraries, with more than 5,000 scenes. It runs on the web, Mac, Windows and Linux and has Figma and Sketch plugins. $15 a month or $120 a year. No 3D or animation.
Canva
Canva's mockup tool (formerly Smartmockups) is handy for a quick social image, and besides devices it has mugs, t-shirts and books. Control over angle and light is limited, and video is basic.
Photoshop
With ready PSD files you can make almost any mockup. It's flexible, but you update smart objects one image at a time and nothing moves. It needs a Creative Cloud subscription.
Which one to pick
Our short answer:
- Video and 3D for an app or website, on a Mac: Mockup Center or Rotato. If you want photo mockups in the same app, Mockup Center.
- On Windows and need video: freemockup.video.
- Photo mockups only, lots of choice: Mockuuups or ls.graphics.
- An occasional social post: Canva.
