Viral Loops vs. Sustainable Growth

The core philosophy difference between Antla and Genlook helps you decide which is right for your stage of growth.

Antla: The "Share" Engine

Antla's primary unique selling point is its "Share for Discount" feature. It incentivizes users to share their try-on results on social media to unlock a coupon code.

When to choose Antla: If your primary marketing strategy relies heavily on viral user loops and you are willing to discount your products to achieve that virality.

Genlook: The Conversion Engine

Genlook focuses on the purchase journey itself. We prioritize rendering quality, speed, and lead capture. Instead of forcing shares, we capture high-intent emails (leads) and provide a friction-free try-on experience.

Why Genlook wins: Not every customer wants to share their photo on Instagram. Genlook respects user privacy while giving you, the merchant, the data (emails & analytics) you need to close the sale via email marketing or retargeting.

Why Merchants Switch

More than just a try-on button

Genlook is built for brands that want to own their customer data and create their own content.

Merchant Studio

Antla is great for customers, but Genlook also empowers you. Use our Studio to generate professional model photos from your product images for Instagram, ads, and lookbooks. No photoshoots needed.

Lead Generation

Don't let visitors leave without a trace. Genlook captures emails during the try-on process, turning high-intent users into leads for your CRM, even if they don't buy immediately.

Global Ready

Your brand is global, and your tools should be too. Genlook automatically detects and translates into English, French, Spanish, or Chinese, ensuring a seamless experience for every shopper.

While Antla focuses heavily on the viral sharing aspect, Genlook prioritizes the complete merchant lifecycle. From creating the initial marketing assets with our AI Studio to capturing high-intent leads directly from the widget, our goal is to help you build a sustainable, data-rich business, not just a one-time viral moment.
