Updated: June 2026

## Verdict

- Choose Lazyweb if you want a free, agent-first design research library with 281k+ real app screens, app trees, Design.md-style app files, and screen-version history. [24]
- Choose Scrnshts if you Use Scrnshts (now ScreensDesign) when a human designer or PM wants to study how top-grossing iOS apps handle screenshots, onboarding, and paywalls — with revenue signals — and will pay for Pro. [1]

## Side-by-side

| Criterion | Lazyweb | Scrnshts |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Best for | Use Lazyweb when your AI agent needs to research real product patterns before designing. | Use Scrnshts (now ScreensDesign) when a human designer or PM wants to study how top-grossing iOS apps handle screenshots, onboarding, and paywalls — with revenue signals — and will pay for Pro. |
| Pricing | Free. [24] | Paid — single "Full Pro" plan from $19/week or $39/month ($199/6mo, $399/yr); each tier bundles the Library plus AI "Create" credits (50/week to 2,400/year). [1] |
| Library depth | 281k+ real app screens across iOS apps and marketing pages. [24] | Library search reads "Search 2,538 apps" (homepage markets 2450+) — curated iOS top-grossers with onboarding/paywall flows, app videos, store screens, and revenue/install estimates per app. [1] |
| Platform coverage | iOS apps and marketing pages today; web-app flows are not available yet. | iOS-first: App Store screenshots, in-app onboarding, paywalls, and app videos, plus a section capturing apps' marketing-site web onboarding funnels. Not a general web/SaaS UI library; Android unconfirmed on the live site. |
| MCP / API | Agent-first MCP setup across Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, hosted Claude connector paths, and other agentic platforms. [24] | No MCP or public API. Site nav has no API/developer/docs page and route probes (/api, /docs, /mcp) hit the SPA fallback; "let AI coding agents build them" means exporting Figma/HTML-CSS to your own agent. [1] |
| Agent readiness | Built for agents first, with skills that generate competitive analysis and large research reports. | Low for direct agent use: no MCP, no API, no machine-readable feed, and most assets sit behind a Pro paywall. An agent can at best scrape public catalog metadata from rendered pages. |

## What Scrnshts does well

- Curated iOS depth: real onboarding flows, paywalls, app preview videos, and store screenshots from ~2,500 top-grossing apps, inheriting the original gallery's hand-picked taste.
- Revenue and install estimates attached to each app, so you can reference patterns from apps that demonstrably convert, not just ones that look good.
- Goes beyond static screens — captures full in-app flows plus apps' marketing-site web onboarding funnels, an Animation Explorer, and an AI 'Create' generator with Figma/HTML-CSS export.
- Polished, founder-run product with a recognizable customer list (Hallow, Yazio, RevenueCat, Superwall, Noom) and active weekly curation.

## Where Scrnshts is limited

- No MCP server or public API, so an AI agent can't query it programmatically — all assets live behind a human-facing, paywalled UI.
- No free tier on the live site (lowest entry $19/week), and Create plus nearly all flows and videos require Pro.
- iOS-focused with no general web-app/SaaS UI library; it shows apps' web onboarding funnels but not desktop product flows.
- Curated ~2,500-app scale is comparatively small, with no per-app design files, screen-version history, or A/B-test datasets.

## Where Lazyweb shines

- Free access makes it easy to start without buying a seat before research begins.
- Agent workflows can pull references, app trees, and structured design context instead of relying on generic taste.
- Screen-version history lets agents see how a real product's UI evolved over time, not just one snapshot.

## Where Lazyweb is limited

- Lazyweb does not yet have web-app flows; flows are mobile-first today.
- Human-facing advanced filters are thinner than some paid human-first libraries.
- The product is intentionally agentic-first, so purely manual browsing may feel less polished than specialist galleries.

## What people say

Public sentiment is thin and skewed to its 2019 launch, when Scrnshts hit #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt (~381 upvotes) and reportedly reached ~20K users in two months as 'Mobbin for App Store screenshots.' Beyond that buzz, durable reviews barely exist — a single 5.0 Product Hunt review, and no ratings on G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, or AlternativeTo. The recurring note is that it filled a real ASO/screenshot gap that Mobbin didn't, but the near-total absence of criticism reflects low discussion volume, not proven satisfaction. The domain now redirects into ScreensDesign, so current sentiment on it as a standalone tool is effectively non-existent.

**What people praise**

- Filled a gap Mobbin didn't — App Store screenshot / ASO inspiration specifically ('Finally someone makes this! Screenshot design research is a pain')
- Strong 2019 launch: #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt, ~381 upvotes, reportedly ~20K users within two months
- Described as a useful, well-curated 'swipe file specifically for app store optimization'
- Lone Product Hunt review is a perfect 5.0: 'Very useful! Thanks to the team who put so much effort'

**Common complaints**

- Almost no public criticism exists — but that reflects very low discussion volume, not validated satisfaction
- Aggregator pages (AlternativeTo, HelloStack) show 'no user reviews yet,' signaling weak traction vs. Mobbin/Refero
- Users asked for an API / design-plugin integration at launch; none ever shipped
- The product appears merged/absorbed into ScreensDesign, raising doubts about its standing as an independent tool

**How people compare it**

- Universally framed as 'Mobbin but for App Store screenshots'; the founder cites Mobbin as the inspiration
- Seen as narrower than Mobbin, which covers broad in-app mobile+web UI patterns while Scrnshts focused only on store-listing screenshots
- Appears in 'free Mobbin alternatives' roundups alongside Refero, Appshots, UXArchive, and ScreensDesign — though some roundups omit it, showing inconsistent mindshare
- AlternativeTo's top alternatives (Mobbin, Refero, Supahero, ScreensDesign) generally carry more community likes than Scrnshts itself
- Pricing comparisons are essentially absent — described as freemium with no public gripes or head-to-head price complaints
