Quick answer

WooCommerce virtual try-on plugins fall into three pricing models: a monthly subscription with a fixed number of try-ons, a one-time license where you pay the AI provider yourself, and a free plugin where you bring your own AI key. The sticker price hides the real cost, which is the generation behind each try-on. Compare the total for your expected monthly volume, not the plugin fee alone.

WooCommerce owners have more try-on plugin choices than a year ago, and the listings all say roughly the same thing: shopper uploads a photo, sees themselves in your product. The differences are in who pays for the generation, where the photo goes, and what happens when traffic grows.

What are the three pricing models?

  • Subscription: one monthly bill covers the plugin and a set number of try-ons. Easy to budget, and you pay for the allowance whether shoppers use it or not.
  • One-time license: you pay once for the plugin, then pay the AI provider directly for every try-on. Cheap when quiet, unpredictable when a product goes viral.
  • Bring your own key: the plugin is free, and you paste in your own AI account. You own the billing relationship and the surprise invoice.

None of these is wrong. A free plugin with a metered AI bill is a fine start, right up until a sale weekend sends the meter somewhere educational.

Which plugins are worth a look?

Six options show up most often, based on their own listings. All figures come from each vendor's page or WordPress.org listing.

  • Corlen: the plugin needs a Corlen API key and hooks in next to the add-to-cart button, so there are no theme edits. Photos are processed in memory and never stored. Pricing follows the API plans: Starter is 49.99 USD a month for 250 try-ons, Growth is 149 USD for 1,000, and Scale is 399 USD for 3,000. The same account also covers Shopify and the in-store kiosk.
  • Tryly.ai: monthly plans from 12.97 USD for 120 try-ons up to 147.97 USD for 1,600. It has the lowest entry price of the subscription options.
  • Photta: a script tag widget for WooCommerce and many other platforms, with plans from 49 USD a month for 500 try-ons. It also sells catalog image tools, which matters if you need product photos as well.
  • Genlook: an official plugin in the WordPress directory, built on the same engine as its Shopify app. Its plan prices have moved often, so check its pricing page directly.
  • VirtualTryonWoo: 50 USD once per site, unlimited try-ons on the plugin side, with AI processing paid to fal.ai at roughly 0.05 to 0.15 USD each.
  • TryonX: free to install, but generation runs on a paid Google Gemini plan that you supply.

The stat you cannot read off a listing is how the results look on your own garments. Test a jacket, a plain tee and something with a print before you commit to anything.

How do you choose one for your store?

  1. Estimate monthly try-ons. A rough guess is fine: sessions on product pages, times the share who tap the button.
  2. Add the generation cost to the plugin fee for each option, so you compare the full monthly bill.
  3. Read the privacy language. Find out where the photo goes and whether it is stored.
  4. Test on three of your own products, on a phone, on your real theme.
  5. Check whether you will need the same tool elsewhere, such as a Shopify store or a physical shop.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free virtual try-on plugin for WooCommerce?

Some plugins are free to install, but the AI generation behind them is not free. Plugins that ask you to bring your own Google Gemini or fal.ai key pass the per-image cost straight to you. Price the plugin and the generation together before you compare.

Which pricing model is cheapest for a small clothing store?

It depends on volume. Bring-your-own-key plugins cost least when shoppers try on few items, and a monthly plan costs least when traffic is steady and you want one predictable bill. Estimate your monthly try-ons first, then compare the total, not the sticker price.

Do WooCommerce try-on plugins work with any theme?

Plugins that hook into WooCommerce's own add-to-cart action work with most standard themes. Confirm the button appears on a live product page of your own theme, since customized themes can move or hide it.

Where does the shopper's photo go?

It depends on the plugin. Ask each vendor where the photo is sent, whether it is stored, and for how long. Corlen's plugin passes it to the Corlen API, processes it in memory, and never stores it.
