Friction vs. Visual Speed

The choice between Swan and Genlook comes down to your customer journey philosophy: do you want scientific accuracy or instant visual confirmation?

Swan: The Digital Tailor

Swan treats every customer like a tailoring client. It asks them to create an account, perform a 360° body scan, and saves their precise measurements.

When to choose Swan: If you sell custom-made suits, dresses, or specialized technical gear where 1cm makes a difference, Swan is unbeatable.

Genlook: The Magic Mirror

Genlook simulates the in-store experience of "holding it up against yourself." Users don't need accounts or complex scans. They just upload a photo and see the result instantly.

Why Genlook wins for Retail: Friction kills conversion. By removing the account creation and scanning steps, Genlook captures the impulse buyer who wants to see "how it looks" right now, without a 5-minute setup process.

Why Merchants Switch

Remove barriers to purchase

Every extra step costs you a sale. Genlook removes the friction of account creation and body scanning.

Zero Friction

Swan requires customers to create an account and perform a body scan. This high commitment kills conversion rates. Genlook lets customers try on instantly as guests.

Scalable Pricing

Swan's pricing jumps from $9 straight to $199. That's a huge gap for growing brands. Genlook offers a logical path with Free, $9, $29, and $99 plans to grow with you.

Merchant Studio

Don't just reduce returns, generate content. Genlook includes a powerful AI Studio to create professional marketing assets from your product photos, something sizing apps don't offer.

Swan is a powerful tool for custom-made clothing where precise measurements are non-negotiable. But for standard ready-to-wear fashion, the friction of body scanning and account creation often turns customers away. Genlook strikes the perfect balance: realistic visual proof that builds confidence, with zero barriers to entry.
