LOOKSY ALTERNATIVE
Genlook vs. Looksy
Looksy and Genlook both generate AI try-ons from a shopper photo, and both carry the Built for Shopify badge. The differences sit around the try-on: languages, lead capture, speed and analytics. Here is how they compare.
01 — The short verdict
Same generation, different priorities.
Both apps are photo-based AI try-on for fashion, installed as a Shopify app embed. They part ways in what surrounds the generation.

- Widget listed in English only
- Email capture reserved for its enterprise tier

The part you can't compare on paper.
Four generations from the Genlook engine on real product photos.
03 — The real difference
What happens around the try-on
On the core experience, these two apps genuinely resemble each other. A shopper uploads a photo, an AI model generates them wearing the garment, and the result appears on the product page. Both are recent, both are rated 5.0, and both passed Shopify's Built for Shopify review. Looksy deserves credit for its privacy posture too: it makes a point of not storing shopper photos at all.
The gap opens around the generation. Looksy keeps the widget deliberately minimal: English interface, analytics on paid plans, and email capture only as part of its enterprise customization tier.
How Genlook handles it
Genlook treats the try-on as a step in the funnel rather than a feature on its own. The widget detects the shopper's language and renders in it, more than 50 covered. The email ask lands during the try-on, on standard plans, with triggers you configure. Every step from impression to add-to-cart reports to the dashboard, and captured emails sync to Klaviyo.
If you want the smallest possible widget with a strict privacy stance, Looksy is a clean pick. If your traffic is international or you want each try-on to leave something behind, an email, a data point, a retargetable shopper, that is what Genlook is built around.
04 — In practice
What Genlook is tuned for.
Add-to-cart
The widget flow ends at the cart. Each step is A/B tested against add-to-cart rate.
Email capture
The email ask appears during the try-on. You choose when it triggers and what it says.
Every shopper's language
The widget detects each shopper's language and renders in it, with more than 50 languages covered. No setup.
Funnel analytics
Impressions, opens, uploads, generations and add-to-cart events, reported in the dashboard.

07 — FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is Looksy cheaper than Genlook?↓
At the entry point, slightly: Looksy's Starter is $14.99 per month for 100 try-ons, Genlook's is $19.99 for the same volume, and both have free plans. At five dollars apart, the decision usually comes down to features: languages, lead capture and integrations rather than price.
What is actually different if both use AI try-on?↓
The generation itself is comparable. The differences are around it: Genlook renders in 50+ languages, captures emails on standard plans, syncs to Klaviyo, and reports the full funnel from impression to add-to-cart. Looksy keeps the widget minimal, with email capture reserved for its enterprise tier and an English-only interface.
Which app is faster?↓
Genlook's median generation time is 9.3 seconds. Looksy's site describes results in about 20 seconds. Both are fast enough for a product page; shorter waits keep more shoppers through to the result.
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.
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.
