Virtual Try-On Apps for Shopify: How to Choose for Your Clothing Store

Compare aisthetix, GenLook and Antla for photo try-on, and distinguish Sizebay size guidance. Includes verified sources, total-cost questions and a practical pilot checklist.

Choose a shortlist around your store's requirement

The best virtual try-on app for a Shopify clothing store depends on the question it needs to answer. A visual preview, a size recommendation and a returns workflow are different capabilities. Start with the solution comparison if you have not yet chosen an approach.

We build aisthetix. This is a vendor-written selection guide, not an independent ranking or a controlled output-quality trial. Public product descriptions below were checked on 29 September 2026. Confirm current terms before subscribing; absence of a feature in a public description is not proof that it is unavailable.

aisthetix: photo try-on, size guidance and activity reporting

aisthetix offers a clothing preview from a shopper photo, size recommendations and reporting on try-ons, carts, purchases and attributed revenue. Evaluate the image and size suggestion separately. Neither is a guarantee of physical fit, and attributed revenue is not necessarily incremental revenue.

The Shopify listing shows a free plan with 10 try-ons. Paid monthly plans are $24.99 for 150, $49.99 for 300 and $149.99 for 1,000 included try-ons. Overage is $0.18, $0.14 and $0.10 respectively, subject to an approved spending cap. Paid trials are 30 days with up to 50 try-ons. Check the listing and billing approval for the exact terms you accept.

GenLook: photo try-on with lead capture and attributed sales

The GenLook listing describes shopper-photo try-on, sharing, email collection, multilingual storefront support and analytics including a try-on funnel and attributed sales. It also displays the Built for Shopify designation. Ask how attribution windows, repeat purchases and refunds affect the dashboard.

Its listed plans include 10 free monthly try-ons, then $19.99 for 100, $29 for 250 and $99 for 1,000. Listed overages are $0.17, $0.12 and $0.10 respectively. Evaluate included capabilities as well as price. See the GenLook and aisthetix comparison.

Antla: photo try-on alongside existing sizing information

The Antla listing describes photo try-on used alongside size charts, sharing, automatic discounts and analytics for styles, try-ons and shares. Assess the supported flow on your theme and ask for a demonstration of any revenue-attribution functionality you require. An unverified attribution method is a question for the supplier, not a reason to claim the feature does not exist.

Read its current pricing and usage terms on the listing, and compare the same expected number of attempts and completed previews across your shortlist. The Antla comparison provides questions for a closer evaluation.

Sizebay: investigate size selection as a separate requirement

Sizebay's official site describes size recommendation and product size-chart solutions, alongside other merchandising products. If “which size?” is your main problem, ask for a demonstration of the module and integration relevant to your store.

Do not assume that every supplier's term “virtual fitting room” refers to the same kind of generated photo. The Sizebay comparison separates size guidance from visual try-on and flags details requiring a quote or demonstration.

Compare total cost and the actual experience

Use one expected usage scenario for every vendor. Record subscription, included volume, overage, spending limits, credits per output, setup costs and any transaction-based fees. Ask what failed generations or retries consume. A lower base price does not settle the comparison.

Test the same representative garments and suitable photos under each tool's stated requirements. Include difficult cases that matter to your catalogue: printed tees, dark fabrics, cropped cuts or oversized silhouettes. Inspect fidelity to the garment, not just whether the image is attractive. Do not publish identifiable customer photos in a comparison without appropriate permission.

For an oversized streetwear collection, check dropped shoulders, print placement, hem length and the intended boxy shape. Verify the actual size guidance separately. Keep real photography and garment measurements available regardless of which app you choose.

A practical pilot scorecard

Before a pilot, write down:

  • Required product categories and the customer question being addressed.
  • Acceptable garment fidelity and how unclear or failed outputs are handled.
  • Mobile flow, accessibility of the surrounding purchase journey, and the option to shop without using try-on.
  • Photo handling, consent and store permissions: use the privacy checklist.
  • Total cost at expected usage, and the metric that would justify keeping the tool.
  • How you will distinguish feature engagement and attributed sales from an incremental improvement.

Use the ROI evaluation guide for that last point. A short trial with few purchases may remain inconclusive; do not treat a fixed number of days as proof.

Your next step

Shortlist the products that meet your requirements, verify their live documentation and test them on the same relevant catalogue sample. If aisthetix is one of those candidates, inspect the product and follow the Shopify installation guide. The comparison hub covers other use cases, including customization and different product categories.

Choose the solution that earns its place in your store. If clearer product information resolves the uncertainty, you may not need an additional app yet.
