Struggling with design mockups? You're not alone. We dive into a fascinating AI-powered solution that promises to eliminate those painful hours spent creating displacement maps in Photoshop. This browser-based platform claims to transform how designers visualize their work on everything from billboards to t-shirts with just a simple drag and drop.

The technology itself is genuinely impressive. When working properly, it automatically adapts designs to curved surfaces, matches background colors, and provides easy resizing options that would typically require complex Photoshop techniques. For professional designers who regularly need to show clients how logos will look on various products, this innovation could save countless hours of tedious work.

However, our hands-on testing revealed some significant hurdles. While the platform advertises 672 mockup templates, we discovered only 15 are available without a subscription—and they're mostly basic flat surfaces. All the truly useful curved mockups (like t-shirts) are locked behind a $16 monthly subscription with no trial option. For occasional users, the individual template purchase option at $6.99 might be more practical than committing to a subscription.

The value proposition here varies dramatically depending on your needs. If you're a professional designer regularly creating client presentations with multiple mockups, the time savings likely justifies the cost. For small businesses or occasional users wanting to visualize a single design, current pricing structures create significant barriers. We believe this technology represents the future of design workflows, but the business model may need refinement to reach its full potential.
