Chatbots vs. Pure Visual AI

OnYou offers an "all-in-one" assistant, while Genlook specializes in visual perfection. Which approach is better for your store?

OnYou: The Chat Assistant

OnYou (by Tolstoy) integrates a chatbot that can answer questions and guide users, alongside the virtual try-on. This is great if you want to automate customer support queries directly in the widget.

The downside: Bundling these features makes the tool significantly more expensive per usage, even if you already have another chat tool (like Gorgias or Tidio).

Genlook: The Visual Specialist

Genlook strips away the chat complexity to focus purely on Visual Conversion. Our AI models are tuned specifically for clothing realism, fabric drape, and lighting match.

Why Genlook wins: By removing the chatbot overhead, we can offer significantly lower pricing ($9 for 200 try-ons vs $19 for 100). You get 4x the value per dollar, allowing you to scale your try-on experience to thousands of customers without breaking the bank.

Why Merchants Switch

More Value, Less Fluff

Genlook strips away the complex chatbot features to focus on delivering the best virtual try-on experience at a price that makes sense for growing brands.

Cut Costs in Half

Why pay more for less? OnYou's basic plan charges $19 for 100 try-ons. Genlook gives you 200 try-ons for just $9. That's 4x the value per dollar.

Merchant Studio

OnYou helps your customers try on clothes. Genlook helps you create content. Use our Studio to generate professional model photos from your product images for your marketing campaigns.

Global Ready

Don't limit your growth to English-speaking countries. Genlook automatically translates the interface into English, French, Spanish, or Chinese based on your customer's location.

While OnYou offers an impressive suite of chat and assistant tools, many merchants find they are paying for features they don't use. Genlook is laser-focused on visual conversion: high-quality virtual try-on and content creation tools that directly impact your bottom line, without the bloated pricing.
