Mediamodifier vs Mockey

Both publish a free tier, so the usual comparison of price is unavailable. What is left is a harder question: which free tier delivers what the pricing page implies once you try to use it.

The short version

Mediamodifier

Pick Mediamodifier if you need higher resolution, a wider range of models, or an API on the team plan. Test the free tier against your own product first rather than assuming it covers you, because that is precisely the point its reviewers dispute.

Mockey

Pick Mockey if you want to produce something usable without paying or signing up. The free output is genuinely unwatermarked, and the honest limitation is resolution, which is stated rather than discovered.

Custom Mockup Generator

Free or paid, both build one image at a time. The tier you pick does not change how many times you assemble the same set.

How Mediamodifier and Mockey actually differ

Mockey's offer is simple and, by the evidence, accurate. The free tier produces images without a watermark, which is unusual in this category, and its reviewers complain about resolution and about the model catalogue rather than about being misled. Resolution is the paid upgrade, and that is stated.

Mediamodifier publishes a free Starter tier listing templates, fonts and image tools, and we rechecked the pricing page. What we cannot verify from outside is whether it delivers, and several reviewers say flatly that it does not. Two put it in almost the same words: that the free plan is a lie and there is no free option.

We are not in a position to settle that, and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise. What we can say is that one of these two has a free tier nobody argues about, and on a comparison whose entire axis is the free tier, that asymmetry is the finding.

Where each one wins

What you are comparingWinnerWhy
Free tier nobody disputesMockeyUnwatermarked output at no cost, and its reviewers complain about other things entirely. Mediamodifier's free plan is contested by several of its own.
Getting started with no accountMockeyNo signup required to try it, which matters when you are testing whether a design is worth pursuing at all.
An APIMediamodifierAvailable on the team plan, and one of the few tools in this bracket to offer one at all.
Free output resolutionMediamodifierMockey's clearest limitation and its most common complaint: a reviewer calls the free resolution too poor to be worth using.
Model and scene varietyMediamodifierA Mockey reviewer flags a real gap: almost no models over 35, which is a problem if that is your customer.
Repeating a listing setTieNeither has any concept of it. Both build one image at a time, free or paid.

Pick by what you are making

Testing whether a design sells

Mockey

Free, unwatermarked, no signup. Nothing is committed while you are still finding out.

You need high resolution

Mediamodifier

Mockey's free resolution is its weak point and the upgrade path is what you are paying for either way.

Your buyers are over 35

Mediamodifier

A Mockey reviewer describes the model range as almost entirely young, which makes the scenes wrong for that audience.

Same images, every product

Custom Mockup Generator

Free or paid, both assemble each listing image individually. The repetition is untouched by either tier.

Both, in depth

Mediamodifier homepage hero showing its mockup generator

Mediamodifier

A mockup library with a genuinely usable free tier and a mockup API on the team plan, aimed at designers and small brands.

Where it wins
  • One of the few tools here with a mockup API, so a developer can wire generation into an existing pipeline.
  • Publishes a free Starter tier rather than a watermarked trial, with templates, fonts and image tools listed on it.
Where it stops
  • Template based, so the scene is fixed and does not react to the artwork placed in it.
  • No concept of a saved listing set that reruns for the next product.
  • Reviewers repeatedly report that the free tier delivers far less than the pricing page implies, and some say they never found a usable free option at all.
Pricing
  • StarterFreeFree mockup and design templates, 1300+ fonts
  • Professional$16/mo$8.25/mo equivalent if billed annually at $99/yr
  • Team$38/moBilled yearly. Adds mockup API and 5 seats

Answer these and you have decided

  1. 01

    What resolution does your marketplace actually require? That decides whether free is enough.

  2. 02

    Who are your customers? One of these has a model range skewed young enough for a reviewer to complain.

  3. 03

    Have you tried the free tier on your own product, or only read about it?

  4. 04

    Is the constraint the tier or the repetition? Only one of those is on this page.

A third approach

This page is about what a free tier gives you, and neither answer changes the shape of the work. Both tools compose a single image per go, so producing a listing set means doing it once per image and again for the next product, with the title and branding placed by hand each time. That is the part we replace: describe the set once, drop in each new design, get the finished images back. If your volume is low enough that a free tier covers you, it is also low enough that this may not be worth it yet, and that is worth saying.

Frequently asked questions

Is Mockey really free?

Yes, with unwatermarked output on the free tier, which is uncommon here. Paid plans exist for higher resolution and more templates, and that limitation is stated rather than hidden.

Does Mediamodifier have a free plan?

It publishes a free Starter tier with templates, fonts and image tools. Several reviewers dispute that it delivers, two saying plainly that there is no free option. We cannot settle that from outside, so test it against your own product.

Which has better mockups?

Mediamodifier on resolution and on model variety; Mockey on being genuinely usable for nothing. Judged on output alone at the paid tier they are close, which is why this page compares the free tiers instead.

Which is better for print on demand?

Mockey for testing, because free and unwatermarked means nothing is committed while you find out whether a design sells. Mediamodifier once resolution matters for a live listing.

Do either save time across many products?

No. Both build one image at a time, so ten products cost ten times what one did. Custom Mockup Generator exists for that repetition specifically, and is worth nothing to you if your volume is genuinely low.

Other tools people compare

The tier does not change the repetition

Describe your listing set once, then drop in each new design and get the whole set back with your title, size chart and logo already in place.
