comparison · fastlane snapshot

The cross-platform alternative to fastlane snapshot.

fastlane snapshot is excellent for pure-native iOS teams shipping on a Mac runner. If your stack is Flutter, React Native, or you also need Android, web, and dashboard screenshots, ScreenStack is built for that shape from day one — one SDK, every store.

ScreenStack
tl;dr

When to keep fastlane. When to switch.

keep fastlane snapshot if

You ship pure native iOS

  • → Single-platform native iOS shop on Swift / UIKit
  • → Already invested in fastlane (signing, deliver, match)
  • → Have a macOS CI runner you're happy paying for
  • → Prefer staying in the Ruby toolchain
switch to ScreenStack if

You ship Flutter, RN, or web too

  • → Flutter, React Native, or web-wrapped iOS
  • → Want Android + Play Store from the same config
  • → Need marketing-site screenshots that stay in sync
  • → Prefer Linux CI runners (no macOS minutes)
  • → Want a real editor for backdrops + captions

Where each tool wins, where it loses, and where they're equivalent. We're not pretending fastlane is bad — it's the right call for some shapes. Just not most.

Linux runners

fastlane snapshot needs a macOS CI runner because it drives Xcode and the iOS Simulator. Mac minutes on GitHub Actions cost ~10× Linux. ScreenStack runs in any Linux container — its iOS captures happen through Flutter's integration_test harness or your web build, and device frames are SVG-composited on our servers. Same quality, no Mac tax.

Web capture

fastlane has no answer for marketing-site screenshots, dashboard previews, or admin-panel mockups. ScreenStack's Web Capture target points at any URL, logs in with a test user, and screenshots at every viewport size. The marketing-site shots stay in sync with prod because they're captured from prod.

Hosted editor

fastlane snapshot + frameit asks you to compose backdrops and captions in HTML templates checked into your repo. ScreenStack's editor is a real canvas with brand gradient presets, draggable phones, marketplace templates, and team sharing. Your designer can tune the marketing layout; your CI keeps the captures fresh.
