Pick Popshot if…

You want arrows, text and blur on the free plan, one export that covers every platform size, and a lower yearly price ($79 vs $150). Try it with no signup.

Nothing you upload leaves your browser

Popshot processes everything on your device and never uploads your screenshot. Pika also edits in the browser and uploads only when you create a share link or save a preset.

Questions

On the yearly plan, yes: Popshot Pro is $79/yr and Pika Pro is listed at $150/yr. Pika also sells a $299 lifetime license, which Popshot doesn’t offer. Both let you export for free with a watermark.

Yes, with Pro. One export gives you a LinkedIn post, an X post, Instagram square, portrait and story, a Product Hunt gallery image and a link preview, each laid out for its size rather than cropped, in one download. Free users can preview every size with the watermark.

Nothing to try, and no signup. Free exports carry a small "popshot.app" watermark. Pro removes it for $9/mo or $79/yr, exports every platform size at once, and adds glass and image backgrounds, premium frames and effects.

No. You can edit and export without signing in. An account is only needed to save looks or go Pro.

No. Popshot runs entirely in your browser. Your images are processed on your device and never uploaded to a server.
