I can see use here but not monthly subscription, typically will use in a batch for say a newsletter. Seems like you can pay $5 a month, do your batch work, then cancel.
That said, given this is on HN, I'm sure a dozen free versions are already in the works.
It looks really cool, best of luck commercializing it however it seems a little too simple for that. It produces an image almost exactly like I've takes a photo of my monitor, so I could just take a photo of my monitor rather than buying the HD option? It's also possibly a bit too easy to replicate in an hour or so (e.g. apply image as a surface texture in threejs and screenshot/canvas-capture that, together with sta…
And sure, most people here can replicate it, but you are the 1%, the other 99% is out there potentially looking and willing to pay for a tool like this.

$3 per month to rotate screenshots ?
Sure, it looks like the underlying process is a perspective shift, a gradient, and a blur, but making the UI usable deserves some credit.
If you don't feel like paying, you can repeat the process in any free image editor for a fraction of the cost.
Perhaps the value add will be bigger if the service gets expanded, for example when it also works with videos and allows for transitions. You can throw together a product demo video a lot quicker by combining that with some captions. It won't be much, but in many areas, it may just be enough to stand out in the crowd.
If I needed one of those "camera panning across a rotated screenshot" videos for a product, I wouldn't know where to begin. Maybe automate imagemagick? Teach myself Blender? I imagine for many tech illiterates (and there are a lot of those, especially these days) will have the same problem with plain images.

Could probably be called from a shell script or similar to automatically exchange the screenshot texture.

Here's my take, using Blender: https://imgur.com/a/qDLR8e3 Could probably be called from a shell script or similar to automatically exchange the screenshot texture.
