<ProseSection label="03 — The real difference" title="Live AR or generative AI">
Camweara and Genlook answer the same question, "how would this look on me?", with different machinery.

Camweara's core is live augmented reality: the shopper opens their camera and sees the product tracked onto their face, hand or wrist in real time. For rigid items like rings, watches and glasses this is a genuinely good experience, and Camweara has refined it since 2021, adding a ring sizer, a fit finder, and lately a generative AI mode for clothing. The cost of that machinery is preparation: products enter as GLB 3D files or edited images, with per-asset fees, and the AI clothing try-ons are metered by plan.

### How Genlook handles it

Genlook skips the camera and the 3D pipeline. The shopper uploads a photo, and the engine generates them wearing the product, working straight from the 2D catalog photos you already have. That approach was built for clothing, where drape and fit matter more than live tracking, and it extends to jewelry, glasses, hats and wigs rendered at true scale on the shopper's own photo.

If your store is built on rings and watches and you want a live mirror, Camweara is the more specialized tool. If your catalog leans apparel, or you want try-on live this week without preparing a single asset, that is what Genlook is for.

<Faq label="07 — FAQ" title="Questions, answered.">
  <FaqItem question="Is Genlook cheaper than Camweara?">
    Yes at the entry point. Genlook has a free plan and paid plans from $19.99 per month. Camweara starts at $39 per
    month with no free plan or trial, its AI clothing try-ons are metered by plan, and some product prep carries
    per-asset fees.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Can Genlook do jewelry and glasses like Camweara?">
    Yes, with a different method. Genlook renders necklaces, earrings, glasses, hats and wigs from photos, at true scale
    on the shopper's own picture. It does not do live-camera AR or ring sizing; if precise ring and watch fitting is
    your core need, Camweara is stronger there.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Do I need 3D models or edited images for Genlook?">
    No. Genlook works with your standard 2D product photography. Ghost-mannequin shots and flat lays render best, but
    photos on models work well too. There are no per-asset preparation fees.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Can I compare Genlook and Camweara before deciding?">
    Yes. Duplicate your theme, enable Genlook's embed on the preview, and compare it against Camweara on your live
    theme. The free plan makes the test free.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Will the widget slow my product pages?">
    No. Genlook loads after your page renders and adds nothing to your theme code, so your Core Web Vitals stay where
    they are.
