Viral Loops vs. Sustainable Growth
The core philosophy difference between Antla and Genlook helps you decide which is right for your stage of growth.
Antla: The "Share" Engine
Antla's primary unique selling point is its "Share for Discount" feature. It incentivizes users to share their try-on results on social media to unlock a coupon code.
When to choose Antla: If your primary marketing strategy relies heavily on viral user loops and you are willing to discount your products to achieve that virality.
Genlook: The Conversion Engine
Genlook focuses on the purchase journey itself. We prioritize rendering quality, speed, and lead capture. Instead of requiring social shares, we capture high-intent emails (leads) and provide a friction-free try-on experience.
Why Genlook wins: Not every customer wants to share their photo on Instagram. Genlook respects user privacy while giving you, the merchant, the data (emails & analytics) you need to close the sale via email marketing or retargeting.
Why Merchants Switch
More than just a try-on button
Genlook is built for brands that want to own their customer data and truly understand their funnel.
Built for Conversion
While Antla focuses on social sharing, Genlook is designed to drive sales directly on your product pages. Our widget is optimized to reduce hesitation and increase Add to Cart rates.
Lead Generation
Don't let visitors leave without a trace. Genlook captures emails during the try-on process, turning high-intent users into leads for your CRM, even if they don't buy immediately.
Global Ready
Your brand is global, and your tools should be too. Genlook automatically detects and translates into English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, ensuring a seamless experience for every shopper.
While Antla focuses heavily on the viral sharing aspect, Genlook prioritizes the complete merchant lifecycle. From actionable funnel insights to capturing high-intent leads directly from the widget, our goal is to help you build a sustainable, data-rich business, rather than focusing solely on viral moments.
Beyond the Hype: Building a Brand
While Antla's "share-to-discount" feature is a clever viral mechanic, it creates a specific type of brand perception—one focused on discounting and public exposure. For premium brands and boutiques, asking customers to post their personal photos for a coupon might not align with a premium brand experience.
Genlook is designed for the modern fashion merchant who values brand integrity and data ownership. We treat the virtual fitting room as a high-trust environment. By respecting user privacy, we increase the likelihood of customers actually uploading a photo. And when they do, our smart lead capture system (which you can configure) asks for an email at the right moment—building your owned audience rather than renting attention on social media.
The ROI of Virtual Try-On
Virtual try-on isn't just a novelty; it's a conversion engine. Our internal data shows that customers who engage with the Genlook widget have a 35% higher conversion rate compared to the site average.
This happens because visualization removes uncertainty. When a shopper can see the drape and fit on a body similar to theirs (or their own), "will it fit?" anxiety decreases. Antla locks this experience behind a paywall or a social share wall. Genlook makes it accessible to every visitor, maximizing the number of people who get that "aha!" moment with your product.
Actionable Funnel Analytics
To grow your business, you need to understand how your tools are performing. While Antla provides basic usage statistics, Genlook gives you full visibility into the try-on funnel.
Our analytics dashboard tracks everything from widget impressions and opens to successful image generations and Add to Cart events. You can see exactly how the virtual fitting room impacts your sales and optimize your product pages accordingly with concrete data.
