Short answer
The best free Shots.so alternatives are Screenshot Studio (3D, animation, and video export, free and open source), DeviceShots (76 device frames with no account or watermark), and SnapMock (free perspective presets). Pika Style is closest in template variety but puts tilt on Pro, and Screely is the simplest choice for window frames. Shots.so still has more device models than most, including Android phones and iPads.
Screenshot Studio is our product. Every other tool is listed on its merits, with details checked against the vendor's own site.
