<ProseSection label="03 — The real difference" title="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.

<Faq label="07 — FAQ" title="Questions, answered.">
  <FaqItem question="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.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="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.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="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.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="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.
  </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.
