Rotato is a serious, Mac-first tool for building 3D device mockup videos: you bring your own screenshots or design files, then rotate, light, and keyframe the scene yourself with real precision. DemoDash comes one step earlier and skips the manual work entirely. Paste a URL and it builds the brand-matched demo itself, then composes an AI-directed 3D film scrolling through it, with nothing to import and no camera or lighting to set by hand.
TL;DR
Rotato is a Mac-first 3D mockup app: you import your own screenshots and manually build the scene, rotation, lighting, and camera keyframes yourself. DemoDash starts from just your URL and composes an AI-directed 3D film automatically, with nothing to import and no manual camera work.
| DemoDash | Rotato | |
|---|---|---|
| What you start with | A URL | Screenshots or design files you import |
| What it makes first | A brand-matched demo dashboard, then the film | A 3D mockup scene you build from your import |
| Scene composition | AI-composed per product (device, mood, backdrop, camera) | Manual rotation, lighting, and camera keyframes |
| What's on screen | Your real site, scrolling through its actual sections | Whatever screenshot or design file you imported |
| Platform | Runs in your browser, any OS | Mac desktop app (Windows in development), plus a web app |
| Best for | Founders with a live product who want the whole demo built for them | Designers who want frame-accurate manual control over a 3D device scene |
If you already have finished screenshots (an app's real UI, an App Store screenshot set, a Figma frame) and want hands-on, frame-accurate control over the 3D scene, Rotato is built for exactly that. Its device library, live iPhone mirroring, Figma plugin, and batch mode for swapping screenshots across a whole device set are real, precise tools a fully automated pipeline does not offer.
No. Paste your product URL and DemoDash captures the real site itself, then builds the film from that. Rotato needs you to import a screenshot or design file first; DemoDash needs nothing prepared in advance.
Not the same way. Rotato gives you a real timeline with keyframes for rotation, lighting, and camera position. DemoDash composes the scene automatically to fit your product, with a Shuffle look control to reroll to a different device, mood, backdrop, and camera style instantly, rather than hand-tuning each frame.
No. DemoDash runs in your browser on any OS. Rotato is a Mac-first desktop app, with a Windows version in development and a separate web app.
DemoDash is free to start, no card required, and Pro is $29 one-time or $9 a month for the full editor and a clean end card. Rotato is a one-time purchase across tiered plans with no free tier for exports, only a watermarked trial.
Rotato, for that specific case. Its batch mode and device library are built to turn a whole set of app screenshots into consistent App Store visuals. DemoDash is built around a live product URL, so a web product or landing page is where it fits best.
