Corlen vs Genlook vs Antla: which virtual try-on app should you choose?

Virtual try-on stopped being a novelty feature a while ago and became a real category with several serious options competing for the same merchants. That is a good problem to have as a shopper or a store owner, and it also means the three names that keep coming up, Corlen, Genlook, and Antla, deserve an honest side by side look rather than a marketing page from any one of them.

Corlen vs Genlook vs Antla at a glance

• Genlook focuses on high-fidelity rendering that preserves fabric texture and drape, plus an AI studio feature for generating marketing images, and integrates with tools like Klaviyo. It leans on a free plan and email capture to move a shopper toward checkout.
• Antla generates a try-on from a single shopper photo and centers its product on a "share for discount" loop, where a shopper unlocks a coupon by posting their result, turning try-ons into user-generated content. It publicly lists integrations with tools such as Klaviyo, Attentive, and Postscript.
• Corlen installs the same way, with no theme edits, and differentiates on body-size aware fitting, meaning the shopper indicates their own build rather than assuming the garment's stated size fits everyone, a strict privacy model with no face recognition and automatic photo deletion, and reach beyond the online store into an in-store kiosk and a developer API.

This category moves fast and feature sets shift often, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a permanent ranking. Always check a provider's current site directly before deciding.

How the three apps actually differ

Beyond the one-line summary, the real differences worth weighing come down to a handful of specific questions a merchant should ask before picking any of the three.

• What is the growth mechanism built around? Antla's is explicit and public: a shopper shares their result to unlock a discount. That is a real acquisition channel if your brand is comfortable with public sharing and discounting. Genlook leans toward keeping the experience private and pointed at add to cart, capturing an email along the way rather than asking for a public share. Corlen also keeps the try-on private to the shopper, and adds a WhatsApp share option the shopper controls themselves, useful for markets and shopper habits where sharing happens in a private chat with family rather than a public post.
• Does fit account for the shopper's own body? A garment labeled "large" means something different across brands, so a try-on that only renders the garment onto a photo without any signal about the shopper's own build can look flattering regardless of whether the size would actually fit. Corlen asks the shopper for their own body size as part of the flow and renders the fit accordingly, rather than assuming a uniform fit every time.
• Where else does it run? All three are Shopify-first. Corlen is the option built to also run outside Shopify: the same generation engine powers an in-store try-on kiosk for a physical retail location, and a developer API for a store or platform that wants a custom integration rather than a packaged Shopify app. That matters specifically for merchants who sell in person as well as online, or who want to build their own experience on top of the underlying technology.
• What is the privacy model? This is worth checking directly with any provider rather than taking a marketing claim at face value. Corlen's stated policy is explicit: no face recognition run on a customer photo ever, no sharing of the photo, and automatic deletion on a fixed schedule rather than indefinite storage.

How pricing compares

Pricing across this category is usage based and changes periodically, so treat the figures below as a snapshot rather than a live quote, and confirm the current numbers directly on each provider's own pricing page before deciding.

• Genlook publicly lists a free plan plus paid tiers starting around 9 USD per month, moving up through mid tiers with more monthly generations and a higher tier that removes Genlook branding from the widget.
• Antla has no free tier. Its published plans start at 19.99 USD per month for 100 try-ons, with a 49.99 USD per month plan for 500 try-ons, plus a higher-volume tier above that for larger stores, each with a short free trial to test before paying.
• Corlen publishes developer API pricing starting at 19.99 USD per month for 100 try-ons, scaling up through higher tiers for larger volume, plus a custom Enterprise tier for stores with real traffic to plan around. A Shopify merchant selects a plan directly inside the Shopify App Store listing rather than through the developer pricing page.

Which one should you choose

There is no single right answer, since the three apps are optimized for different goals. If viral growth through public shopper shares and a discount incentive fits your brand, Antla's model is built specifically for that. If you want a free plan to test on your own catalog first and lean on high-fidelity rendering plus email capture, Genlook is worth evaluating. If what matters most is a fit that reflects the shopper's own body, a privacy model with no face recognition and automatic deletion, and the option to run the same technology beyond Shopify in a physical store or a custom integration, that is specifically what Corlen is built around.

For a broader checklist beyond just these three names, see how to choose a virtual try-on app for your store. The most reliable way to judge any of them is to test a result on your own photo rather than trust a screenshot: try Corlen on your own photo in a few seconds, no account needed, or read the developer docs if you are evaluating the API directly.
