Comments about Wallpaper Engine as a Alternative to DeskScapes
Most users think Wallpaper Engine is a great DeskScapes alternative.
Guest
Deskscapes is a subscription based tool, so you'll be paying annually for it, and if you stop paying, your existing install of the software will stop working. Wallpaper Engine is cheaper, and more importantly, you only pay once for it. As a bonus, you can export the live wallpapers to your phone with Wallpaper Engine, a feature that did not exist in DeskScapes the last time I checked
