DrapX vs.
GenLook
The next generation of virtual try-on. See why DrapX AI is leading the pack over GenLook.
GenLook and DrapX AI are both generative virtual try-on tools for Shopify fashion stores, and both have a permanent free plan and a native Shopify App Store listing, so the comparison comes down to rendering approach, speed, and what the cheaper plans cost you in branding. GenLook processes every generation in the cloud and publishes a figure of under 10 seconds per look, showing 9.3 seconds in its own example. DrapX runs a hybrid cloud-edge pipeline on dedicated GPU clusters and returns a physics-simulated result in about 8.5 seconds, holding that number under peak traffic.
Both install cleanly. GenLook is a Built for Shopify app that embeds through an Online Store 2.0 theme app embed, and DrapX installs as a native app from the App Store in under 30 seconds. Neither requires you to touch theme code, so integration effort is not a meaningful reason to pick between them. GenLook is also the more established listing today, at 5.0 stars across 35 reviews.
On price, GenLook is cheaper in the middle of the range in absolute monthly cost: its Growth tier is $29 against DrapX's $49.99, though it includes 250 try-ons to DrapX's 500, so DrapX is the cheaper of the two per try-on. The catch is branding. GenLook's watermark stays on results through Free, Starter, and Growth and only comes off at its $99 Pro plan, while DrapX never watermarks results on any plan, including Free. If clean output matters at low spend, that gap is worth more than the monthly difference.

High-Frequency
Refining.
GenLook publishes "under 10 seconds per look" and shows 9.3 seconds in its own example. DrapX targets about 8.5 seconds on a hybrid cloud-edge pipeline, so it is faster, but this is a narrow margin rather than a category difference.
Architectural
Realism.
DrapX AI has spent years perfecting edge-cases like messy hair, loose clothing, and different skin tones, areas where GenLook is still maturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is faster, DrapX or GenLook?
DrapX, but by a narrow margin. DrapX returns a physics-enabled try-on in about 8.5 seconds on a hybrid cloud-edge pipeline. GenLook publishes "under 10 seconds per look" and shows 9.3 seconds in its own example. Both are inside the sub-10-second range that keeps shoppers waiting, so the fairest test is to run the same product photo through both and time it on your own catalog.
Does GenLook put a watermark on try-on results?
Yes, on its Free, Starter, and Growth plans. GenLook branding is only removed on its Pro plan at $99 a month. DrapX never adds its own watermark on any plan, including the free one, and paid DrapX plans can optionally add the merchant's own brand watermark instead.
Is GenLook cheaper than DrapX?
In absolute monthly cost, in the middle of the range, yes: GenLook's Growth tier is $29 for 250 try-ons against DrapX's $49.99 for 500. Per try-on, DrapX is cheaper at every tier. At the entry tier DrapX is $9.99 for 70 try-ons against GenLook's $19.99 for 100. Both have a permanent free plan: $0 for 15 try-ons at DrapX, $0 for 10 at GenLook. Weigh the saving against GenLook's watermark on everything below its $99 plan.
Does GenLook do anything DrapX doesn't?
Several things. Its mid-tier pricing is cheaper per month, which matters for a low-volume store watching cost. It carries the Built for Shopify badge and a 5.0 rating across 35 App Store reviews, and DrapX has neither yet. Where DrapX differs is the rendering approach, physics simulation rather than a generative pass, and no watermark on any plan.
How does GenLook install on Shopify compared to DrapX?
Both install cleanly and neither needs you to edit theme code. DrapX is a native App Store listing where the widget auto-embeds on product pages in under 30 seconds. GenLook is also a native App Store app, installed through an Online Store 2.0 theme app embed. Integration effort is not a meaningful difference between these two.
