Genlook vs. Looksy
Looksy and Genlook both generate AI try-ons from a shopper photo and now cover similar ground: languages, email capture, Klaviyo. They differ on speed, pricing model, photo handling and App Store track record.
Written by Thibault Mathian, founder of Genlook. Genlook makes one of the two products compared here. Competitor facts were last checked on October 7, 2026 against their public listings and docs, linked in Sources.
01 · The short verdict

Four generations from the Genlook engine on real product photos.
03 · The real difference
Speed, pricing model and photos
On paper, Looksy and Genlook now overlap on most of the checklist. Both generate a try-on from one shopper photo, both render in dozens of languages, both capture emails and sync them to Klaviyo. Looksy also goes wider than a single try-on: its listing adds live video try-on, bundles and size help. If you want one app that does several of those jobs, that breadth is a real argument for it.
The differences that remain are about the try-on itself. Looksy's own site describes results in about 20 seconds; Genlook's median is 8.2 seconds, measured in production. On a product page, that gap decides how many shoppers wait for the result. Pricing works differently too. Looksy's free plan has no try-on cap but ends once the app has attributed $100 of revenue, and its mid tier gives more volume for the money (300 try-ons for $29 against Genlook's 250). Genlook's free plan is a fixed 10 try-ons a month with no revenue condition.
How Genlook handles it
Genlook spends its effort on the generation and the funnel around it. Shopper photos are deleted after seven days and never used to train models, a policy stated in the widget privacy notice. Every step from impression to add-to-cart reports to the dashboard. On the App Store, Genlook holds a 5.0 rating from 40 reviews and the Built for Shopify badge; Looksy currently shows 3.7 from 9 reviews, without the badge.
If you want the widest feature set in one app and the best price at around 300 try-ons a month, Looksy is worth a test. If speed, photo handling and a proven track record matter more, that is what Genlook is built around.

Can I compare Genlook and Looksy before deciding?↓
Yes. Duplicate your theme, enable Genlook's embed on the preview, and compare it against Looksy on your live theme. Both free plans make the test free.
