MIRRAR ALTERNATIVE
Genlook vs. mirrAR
mirrAR grew up in jewelry AR and added AI clothing try-on to its Shopify app. Genlook starts from clothing and works from the photos you already have. Here is how the two compare on credits, languages and what each engine is really for.
01 — The short verdict
Jewelry-first meets clothing-first.
Both apps now cover several categories, but each was built around a different one, and it shows in the pricing and the tech.
mirrAR
Built around jewelry AR
- Live AR mirror for jewelry, watches and eyewear, refined since 2021
- Self-serve plans from free, with an enterprise arm behind it
- Clothing is a newer add-on, priced at 4 credits per try-on
- The AR categories rely on 3D product models
- Widget listed in English only
Genlook
Built around clothing
- Garments are the core: drape and fit from generative AI
- Works from your existing 2D photos, no 3D models
- Widget auto-translates into 50+ languages
- Email capture and funnel analytics built in

03 — The real difference
What each engine was built for
mirrAR comes from the jewelry world. StyleDotMe built it around live AR for rings, necklaces and watches, with enterprise deployments and in-store mirror displays behind it, and that pedigree is real: if a shopper should see a bracelet tracked on their wrist through the camera, mirrAR does exactly that. Its Shopify app has also moved with the market, adding self-serve credit plans from free and an AI mode for makeup and clothing.
The credit system tells you where the priorities sit. A jewelry try-on costs 1 credit, makeup 2, clothing 4. On the $15 Starter plan's 200 credits, that is 50 clothing try-ons, and the AR categories still need 3D product models before they work.
How Genlook handles it
Genlook was built the other way around. Clothing is the core: the engine generates the shopper wearing the garment from an uploaded photo, tuned for drape, fit and length, and every try-on costs the same. It works from the 2D photos already in your catalog, with no 3D pipeline, and extends to jewelry, glasses, hats and wigs rendered at true scale on the shopper's own picture.
A jewelry house that wants a live mirror should look at mirrAR seriously. A fashion catalog that wants try-on without 3D models, in every shopper's language, is what Genlook is built for.
04 — In practice
What Genlook is tuned for.
Your photos as they are
No 3D models, no digitization queue. The engine renders products from the photos already in your catalog.
Add-to-cart
The widget flow ends at the cart. Each step is A/B tested against add-to-cart rate.
Every shopper's language
The widget detects each shopper's language and renders in it, with more than 50 languages covered. No setup.
Email capture
The email ask appears during the try-on. You choose when it triggers and what it says.

07 — FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is mirrAR enterprise-only?↓
Not anymore. The Shopify app has self-serve plans: a free tier with 20 credits, then $15, $50 and $200 per month. The enterprise, contact-sales side still exists for custom SDK and in-store deployments. Genlook is self-serve too, with a free plan and paid plans from $19.99 per month.
How does pricing compare for clothing try-on?↓
mirrAR charges 4 credits per clothing try-on, so its $15 plan's 200 credits cover 50 garment try-ons. Genlook's $19.99 Starter includes 100 try-ons, every category priced the same. For an apparel catalog, Genlook works out cheaper per try-on.
Can Genlook do jewelry like mirrAR?↓
Yes, with a different method. Genlook renders necklaces, earrings and other pieces at true scale on the shopper's own photo. It does not do live-camera AR; if a real-time mirror for rings and watches is the priority, that is mirrAR's specialty.
Do I need 3D models for Genlook?↓
No. Genlook works with your standard 2D product photography for every category it covers. There is no digitization step and no per-product setup fee.
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.
