A service, an app, or a pipeline. ShotOps is the pipeline.
What AppLaunchFlow, ButterKit and the free MCP screenshot servers do well, and where ShotOps differs: a fastlane deliver folder you own, no Apple credential, and it runs wherever your agent runs.
- AppLaunchFlow: choose AppLaunchFlow if you want a service to handle the listing end to end, publishing included. Choose ShotOps if you want the screenshots as files you own, and no Apple credential to leave your hands.
- ButterKit: choose ButterKit if you work on one Mac and want a native app that also uploads for you. Choose ShotOps if your screenshots get made by an agent or a CI job, on whatever machine runs it.
- The free MCP servers: choose a free server if a frame and a headline at the right size is all you need. Choose ShotOps if the set has to survive the next release and every language you ship.
