Head to head

Larpify.me vs fakely-pro.com

A template library you download against a stack of apps you open in a tab. The real split is breadth versus depth — and whether you can see the price before you commit.

fakely-pro.com

Dashboard template app for iOS and Android

Not published

The subscription is sold as an in-app purchase. Everything on this page about fakely-pro.com comes from what it publishes about itself — the sources are listed at the bottom.

Fakely Pro is the broad one. It ships as a phone app on the App Store and Google Play under the name CustomDashboards, it carries a library of dashboard templates rather than one, and it says it updates every day. If you want the widest spread of logos to choose from and you post entirely from a phone, that breadth is a real advantage and this page is not going to pretend otherwise.

Where it and Larpify.me genuinely part company is what you are buying. Theirs is a set of templates you fill in and export. Ours is a set of applications you use: screens with navigation, sub-pages, a swap that moves the balance, a visitor map that ticks, a payments table you write row by row. And ours tells you the price on the way in rather than on the way through a purchase sheet.

Row by row

Breadth is cheap. Depth is the thing.

A template survives a screenshot. An app survives a video.

A filled-in template is one frame. The moment the camera keeps rolling — you tap into an order, open a token, scroll the payments table, switch the date range — a template has nowhere to go and an app does. Every screen here is wired: the store's date range actually redraws the chart, the wallet's swap actually moves the balance and lands in the activity feed, and the payouts table is rows you wrote. That is what makes the difference between a still and a screen recording.

A price you can read before you install

Ours are on the pricing page: $9.99, $19.99, or $100 once, with the per-app arithmetic written out and no code to hunt for. A subscription priced inside an in-app purchase sheet is a price you only meet after you have downloaded something and started tapping through it, and it is the reason “free” on an app-store listing tells you very little about what a year of it costs.

A phone cannot photograph a laptop

Most of the screenshots that actually move people are browser windows — a store admin, a payments dashboard, a console with a nav rail down the side. A phone app can draw a picture of one, but what comes out is a phone-sized image of a desktop layout, and that reads wrong immediately: the proportions are off, there is no browser chrome, and the type is the wrong size for the frame. Ours are desktop interfaces rendered in a desktop browser, so the screenshot is the real shape.

Ours are drawn from the vendors' own tokens

Where the company we are replicating publishes a design-token package, we read the values out of it — the store's greys, borders and shadows come from Shopify's Polaris tokens at a pinned version. Where they do not publish one, the palette is sampled from the vendor's own screenshots and the stylesheet says so in a comment next to the value. Nothing is matched by eye, which is why the details that usually give a fake away — a radius two pixels out, a grey one step too dark — are not out.

The case against us

Buy theirs if

You want the widest possible spread of brands to pick from, you shoot and post entirely from a phone, and a single exported image is the deliverable. Breadth is genuinely their column, and no amount of depth on our side turns three apps into a library. If the thing you need is a logo we do not have, we cannot help and they might.

Where it lands

The verdict

Fakely Pro is wider. Larpify.me is deeper, cheaper to reason about because the price is published, and the only one of the two that can hand you a real desktop browser window. If your post is one phone-sized image of a brand we do not cover, take the library. If it is a screen recording, a laptop shot, or a persona that has to hold together across more than one frame, $6.66 an app buys you something a template cannot do.

Questions people ask about this comparison

Why does the comparison not list their exact price?

Because they do not publish one. The app is a free download and the subscription is an in-app purchase, so the figure only appears in the purchase sheet on your device. We would rather leave the row saying “not published” than invent a number to argue against.

Do you have as many brands as they do?

No, and we are not trying to. There are 3 apps live and 4 in build, and each one is a whole interface rather than a screen. Breadth is their column; we said so in the table.

Can I use Larpify.me on my phone?

The wallet, properly — it is a real mobile app, full-bleed, and it installs to a home screen. The store admin and the payouts dashboard are desktop interfaces, so shoot those from a laptop. That split is on purpose: it matches how the real products are shaped.

Is there an app to download?

No, and that is deliberate. It is a URL, so it works on a laptop, a phone and a machine that is not yours, and there is no review queue between a fix and you having it.
