Best Framous Alternative in 2026
Framous is a mac app for screenshot frames priced at $10 once. The catch: mac only. AppShotEditor's core editor is free — no watermarks, no signup — with iPhone and Android phone frames, custom backgrounds, and headlines; paid plans add iPad/Mac frames, premium templates, and batch export. Either way, your projects stay editable instead of exporting a flattened PNG.
