Every template opens and edits without an account. Exporting needs a free account, which exports free templates without the watermark. Without Pro, Pro templates carry a small “Made with Mimicly” watermark. Pro gives watermark-free exports of every template, higher resolution and share links. See current plans.

Mimicly creates fictional, user-authored mockups. It does not send messages, generate AI replies or connect to the platforms shown. Game chats, posts, comments, stories and email export images only. On the web, MP4 recording works in desktop Chrome or Edge; on a phone, use the iPhone app.
