Comparison
240fps vs Shots.so
240fps and Shots.so are both browser-based device mockup tools with animation. The biggest differences: 240fps renders a live website inside the device at each device's own screen size, adds an animated cursor, callouts and blur for product demos, and can turn a URL into a finished video in one click; Shots.so is known for its large library of backgrounds, effects and quick social-ready stills, with a free plan and paid tiers.

Both run in the browser with nothing to install, both put a screenshot in a device frame on a styled background, and both export images and animated video. For a single polished screenshot, either will do the job.
Where they differ
The difference is what goes on the screen and what happens to it. 240fps captures a live website with a real browser at the size of each device, so an iPhone shows the mobile site and a MacBook the desktop site, and it can scroll through it on a timeline. It also adds the tools of a product demo: a cursor that clicks, callouts that draw in, blur for private details, and zooms that follow the clicks.

Choose 240fps if…
