Mockcraft for Freelancers: The product mockup generator you buy once and own forever

The product mockup generator you buy once and own forever.

Freelancers expense a dozen subscriptions — proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking — against irregular income. Owning the tools outright removes a whole line of fixed costs.

The tool this job usually means renting is Placeit, at $14.95/mo — roughly $179 a year, every year. Mockcraft does the job for a one-time $19 — running locally on your own machine.

FAQ

Freelancers ask

Is Mockcraft worth it for freelancers?

Mockcraft pays for itself in under two months of Placeit — and every month after that is pure savings. Mockcraft costs $19 once; Placeit charges $14.95/mo — about $179 a year. For freelancers, that fixed cost is the whole point: the tool is a one-time line item, not a monthly one.

Is it really free on GitHub?

Yes — Mockcraft is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/mockup-generator-mvp. The $19 buys the packaged Windows installer; building from source is free.

Does it ship stock photos of devices and models?

No — that's the licensed imagery Placeit rents you. Every scene is honestly generated from vector shape specs by Mockcraft's own raster engine, so the whole pack is MIT-licensed with your copy.
