Time and Cost Savings vs. Alternatives

vs. Hiring Designers ($50-150/mockup): Professional mockup creation from freelancers costs $50-150 per mockup. Placeit provides unlimited mockups for $14.95/month—paying for itself after 1-2 mockups.

vs. Photoshop Smart Objects (requires expertise): Photoshop mockup templates require technical skills (layers, masks, smart objects) and cost $10-30 each. Placeit requires zero Photoshop knowledge and includes 150,000+ templates in one subscription.

vs. Canva Pro ($12.99/month): Canva offers great social media templates but limited mockup selection (mostly flat/2D). Placeit specializes in photorealistic 3D mockups and device presentations Canva can't match.

vs. Smartmockups ($29/month): Smartmockups focuses on device mockups. Placeit offers 10x more variety including apparel, print, packaging, signage, logos, and videos—all for half the price.
