Search “best virtual try-on for Shopify” and you’ll get Genlook, WearFits, and a handful of other App Store names in the results. Closku isn’t on that list yet, and there’s no point pretending otherwise. This page lays out what Closku actually does today, what marketplace VTO apps are usually built for, and how to choose between them without us inventing ratings or guessing at anyone else’s pricing.
Most merchants comparing try-on tools aren’t shopping for a novelty widget. They’re trying to close a real gap on the product page: a shopper likes the piece but can’t picture it on themselves, or can’t commit to a size. Some teams want that fixed with a one-click App Store install and live catalog sync. Others are fine running a merchant workspace, catalog, try-on, size from a single photo, plain pricing, and pasting in a script to get it working.
Closku is built for that second group. CSV import, one storefront script, virtual try-on and AI size recommendation pulled from the same shopper photo, on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or a custom site. Genlook and WearFits sit in a different distribution model. Go check their current listings for sync, pricing, and reviews; those numbers move, and we’re not going to make them up here.
Quick comparison
Treat this table as an orientation, not a scoreboard. The Closku column is stuff we control and can state as fact. The Genlook / WearFits column is what App Store VTO apps typically offer, so check their own listing before you lean on any of it.
| Closku | Genlook / WearFits (typical App Store VTO) | |
|---|---|---|
| Install path | CSV import + one script | Shopify App Store (check their listing) |
| Live store sync | Not yet | Often yes via app, verify on their listing |
| Fashion / apparel focus | Yes, clothes try-on + size from photo | Genlook is often cited for apparel; confirm on their page |
| Pricing on our site | Starter $49/mo · 145 try-ons (see /pricing) | Check their App Store / site, we won’t invent numbers |
We’re not going to pad this page with competitor star ratings, install counts, App Store rank, or AggregateRating markup. Those numbers shift constantly, and merchants who buy on borrowed numbers usually regret it later. The one number we’ll stand behind is our own: Starter at $49 a month for 145 try-ons.
What “App Store VTO” usually optimizes for
There’s a real reason marketplace try-on apps get picked first. The install is familiar to any Shopify team: find the listing, approve permissions, connect the catalog, and let live sync handle assortment changes so nobody’s stuck doing a CSV update every week. Reviews, install counts, and badges sit right next to the listing, which matters if your team leans on social proof to make a call.
Genlook comes up a lot in apparel try-on searches. WearFits shows up in the same Shopify VTO results. We’re not here to rewrite their pitch for them, their features, pricing, sync, and ratings belong on their own pages. If a one-click install and automatic catalog sync are the deciding factor for your team this quarter, start there and check what they actually ship right now.
Closku isn’t trying to be that kind of listing. We’re a different shape of tool: a workspace you run yourself, a catalog you import, a script you drop in once, try-on and size sitting on the product page you already own.
Closku’s path
Start with a CSV export, Shopify and most other platform exports work fine. Closku maps names, SKUs, and images into your catalog. Drop one script into your theme and try-on shows up on the product page. Shoppers upload a full-body photo and see the garment on themselves. AI size recommendation reads that same photo against your catalog, so they get a size call for that exact SKU.
That’s the core of what Closku does: one photo drives both the try-on and the size call. Size alone won’t show how something drapes. Try-on alone won’t tell someone what size to buy. Put together on the product page, they answer the two questions that sit right before checkout. More detail on the size side lives on AI size recommendation; the returns angle is on Cut clothing returns; Shopify setup specifics are on Virtual try-on for Shopify.
This runs the same way on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or a custom storefront: CSV plus script. Starter is $49 a month for 145 try-ons, and unused try-ons don’t carry over to the next month. Growth and Scale raise that volume once traffic and try-on usage climb. Full breakdown on pricing.
Limits we own: Closku isn’t on the Shopify App Store yet, and there’s no live store sync. When your catalog changes, you re-import it. That’s a real cost in ops time, and we’d rather say so upfront than have you find out later.
When Genlook or WearFits may win
Maybe you want a one-click App Store install, live catalog sync, and the kind of social proof that comes from marketplace reviews. Nobody on your team wants to touch a theme file before an app is approved and the catalog connection just works. Your ops plan assumes assortment changes flow through on their own, no CSV refresh needed.
That’s a fair call, and it’s not a Closku failure, it’s just a different set of priorities. Go check Genlook’s and WearFits’ current listings for sync, pricing, ratings, and apparel coverage; those change, and we won’t guess at them here. If what you find matches how your store needs to run this quarter, go with it.
Merchants who pick a marketplace app first are usually optimizing for distribution and low maintenance, not for the kind of workspace Closku builds. That’s a reasonable trade. We’re just not going to invent their star ratings or prices to make our side look better.
When Closku may win
You want a merchant-first workspace, catalog, analytics, API, with CSV plus one script across Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or a custom storefront. You care about clothes try-on and size recommendation coming from one shopper photo, right on the product page. You want pricing you can read without booking a call: Starter at $49 a month for 145 try-ons.
You’re fine skipping the marketplace app for now. If your team already exports CSVs for other tools, this will feel familiar: import the slice of the catalog that hurts most, drop in the script, watch what real sessions do, then widen from there. You’d rather get try-on live on the page you already own than wait on an App Store badge.
Closku works for merchants who want that pitch stated plainly: shoppers try the garment on themselves, get a size for that SKU, and decide before they pay. No made-up return-rate numbers, no borrowed AggregateRating, no guessed Genlook or WearFits prices. Just the install path we actually run, the limits we’re upfront about, and the pricing we publish in the open.

How to choose without the theater
Write down what you actually need first. If live sync and an App Store install are non-negotiable, go check Genlook, WearFits, or similar listings and pick from that group. If a merchant workspace, a CSV-plus-script launch, multi-platform storefronts, and size plus try-on from one photo matter more to you than a marketplace badge this quarter, Closku fits that job.
After that, ignore anything that smells like comparison theater: star ratings copied from a screenshot, prices guessed from a blog roundup, AggregateRating markup used as a weapon. Read Closku’s own pricing page. Read the other listings directly. Decide on facts both sides still own when you refresh the tab tomorrow.
Closku’s pitch stays the same whether you got here from a Genlook search or a size recommendation search: fashion try-on on the product page, size from the same photo, CSV plus one script, Starter at $49 a month for 145 try-ons, not on the App Store yet, no live sync yet. If that matches how you want to run your store, start at pricing.
