## FAQ

### Does virtual try-on actually reduce returns?

Yes, when the technology addresses fit. Fit and size issues account for a large share of apparel returns, so tools that predict size or visualize garments on a true-to-scale body can cut return rates. Vendors and studies report reductions in the 25-40% range, though most figures are vendor-reported rather than independently audited. Sizing tools like 3DLOOK and Bold Metrics target returns most directly, while visual try-on tools like WearFits add a confidence and conversion benefit on top.

### What is the best virtual try-on app for Shopify?

It depends on what you sell. WearFits is a strong all-rounder for Shopify because it covers shoes, bags and apparel with both AR and generative-AI rendering and offers a direct Shopify integration aimed at SMB and mid-market stores. True Fit and Style.me also offer Shopify or major-platform plugins. For beauty stores, Perfect Corp's YouCam is the category leader. Match the tool to your product type rather than picking a single winner.

### Is WebAR better than a native app?

For most retailers, yes. WebAR runs in the phone browser with no app install, which removes the biggest drop-off point in the funnel. BrandXR reported engagement rising from roughly 12% to around 60% when an install is not required, though that figure is illustrative. Native apps can offer deeper tracking and offline use, but for ecommerce the friction-free reach of WebAR usually wins. WearFits and Banuba both support WebAR delivery.

### What is the difference between virtual try-on and size recommendation?

Virtual try-on shows the product on a body, either through AR on your live camera, a 3D avatar, or a generative-AI image. Size recommendation tells you which size to buy without showing the item, using body data or a fit-data network. 3DLOOK, Bold Metrics and True Fit are sizing tools, while WearFits, Perfect Corp, Veesual and Style.me focus on visualization. Many retailers combine both: a size answer plus a visual.

### Can virtual try-on handle shoes and bags, not just clothing?

Some platforms can, but most specialize. Footwear and accessories need accurate placement and scale rather than full-body draping, so they often use AR rather than apparel rendering. WearFits is one of the few platforms built to span shoes, bags and apparel in one stack. Banuba handles accessories and eyewear well through its AR SDK, while apparel-focused tools like Veesual do not cover shoes or bags.

### How is generative-AI try-on different from traditional AR?

Traditional AR overlays a 3D model onto your live camera feed in real time, so you see the item move with you. Generative-AI try-on instead produces a synthetic image of the garment on a model or on you, using diffusion models. AR is interactive and true-to-scale; generative-AI is image-based and excels at apparel draping and inclusive model imagery. WearFits offers both, Veesual is generative-only, and Banuba is AR-only.

### Is there a free virtual try-on tool?

Yes, but mainly for consumers rather than merchants. Google added diffusion-based try-on to Search in May 2025 and launched the Doppl app in 2025, both free to shoppers. These are consumer-facing experiences, not platforms you license for your own store. For a storefront, the commercial platforms in this report charge via SaaS, SDK licensing or usage-based API pricing.

### What happened to Zeekit?

Walmart acquired Zeekit in 2021 and folded it into its own apps, so Zeekit is no longer a platform other retailers can license. It proved virtual try-on works at scale, but it is now internal to Walmart only. If you are evaluating buyable platforms, treat Zeekit as a case study rather than a vendor option.

## How we evaluated

We assessed each platform on its core technology, product coverage, delivery model, fit accuracy or visualization quality, integration effort and pricing transparency, then matched each to the buyer it serves best rather than forcing a single overall winner. We limited the ranking to platforms that retailers can actually license today, and separated influential-but-unbuyable systems into a context section. Market figures are sourced inline: market size and growth from The Business Research Company, the conversion-lift figure from Shopify, and returns figures from the NRF and Happy Returns. Vendor-reported metrics — including conversion, AOV and returns uplift claims — are labeled as such because they are not independently audited.

- Technology and product coverage: AR, 3D, generative-AI, sizing; shoes, bags, apparel, beauty
- Delivery and onboarding: API, SDK, WebAR, and ecommerce-platform plugins
- Evidence quality: well-sourced market data used as hard claims; vendor metrics hedged and attributed
