Appshots stands out by making design research feel more like watching a product than scanning a gallery. Instead of relying mainly on static screens, it centers on screen recordings that show timing, transitions, and interaction details that screenshots often miss.
That format is especially useful when you’re studying onboarding, sign-up, checkout, and other journeys where micro-interactions matter. If you’ve ever found a perfect screen reference but still wondered “what happens next,” Appshots is built for that continuity.
As an alternative to Mobbin, it’s a great fit when the job is comparing end-to-end UX journeys across products quickly, without installing apps and manually capturing steps. The trade-off is that it’s less about exporting polished UI pieces and more about understanding how flows actually behave in the wild.
