Key Takeaways
- Published virtual try-on pricing in August 2026 runs from $8.99/month at the entry tier to $1,599/month on high-volume plans, and the metered rate, where vendors publish one, spans $0.015 to $0.18 per try-on.
- The market has split along an asset axis. AI tools that render from your product photos price per render. AR and 3D model tools price per active SKU and add digitization on top. Auglio publishes that at $35 per SKU.
- Buying beats building for almost everyone. Four agencies quote custom development at $5,000 to $250,000+, and one of them prices North American developers below European ones, which tells you what those numbers are for.
- Returns drive the ROI, not conversions. 19.3% of online sales come back (NRF and Happy Returns, 2025) and each return costs roughly 27% of the purchase price (Optoro).
- No independent study measures what virtual try-on does to your conversion rate. Every figure in circulation is vendor-reported, which is why we do not publish one of our own either. Budget for a 90-day pilot instead of a promise.
Full disclosure before anything else. Rooop sells virtual try-on software. We are one of the vendors in the tables below, we publish our prices, and that is part of why we are comfortable writing this. What you will not find here is a Rooop performance statistic, because we do not have an audited one and this page spends several thousand words explaining why you should not trust the ones other vendors print.
Here is the problem this page exists to fix. Open six virtual try-on vendor sites this afternoon and four will show a "Request a demo" button where the price should be. You cannot build a budget out of demo requests. Search for what this costs and half the results are app development agencies pricing a custom build, which answers a completely different question from what a vendor charges to switch one on.
So this article does four things nobody else does in one place. It publishes real, sourced prices across the market. It separates the cost of buying from the cost of building. It shows where the asset costs hide. And it is honest about how thin the evidence for the returns actually is.
How Much Does Virtual Try-On Software Cost in 2026?
Virtual try-on software costs $8.99 to $1,599 per month at published rates. Most retailers land between $20 and $200 monthly for a few hundred to a few thousand try-ons. Metered overage runs $0.015 to $0.18 per session. Add per-SKU digitization if you pick a 3D or AR approach, and expect enterprise tiers to be quoted rather than published.
That range is wide for two reasons. First, "virtual try-on" covers products doing different jobs. Rendering virtual clothing onto a shopper's photo is not the same work as scanning a body to predict size and fit, and the two price roughly fifty times apart. Second, the number on the pricing page is not the number you spend. The digitization section below is the one that changes budgets, and it is the one every vendor leaves off the pricing page.
Virtual Try-On Pricing Models Explained
Seven pricing models cover essentially the whole category. Each row names a real vendor publishing a real number, because a taxonomy without evidence is just somebody's opinion.
| Pricing model | How you are billed | Real published example | The trap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat subscription by volume | Fixed fee per usage band | Banuba TINT: $49/mo (1,000 try-ons), $99/mo (3,500), $349/mo (15,000) | You pay the same in a slow month |
| Flat subscription by render quota | Fixed fee per image allowance | Tryroom: $8.99/mo (100 images), $39/mo (500), $79/mo (1,000), $199/mo (2,500) | Quotas reset monthly and do not roll over |
| Usage-based with published overage | Bundle plus per-session rate | TryOn Virtual: $49/mo (500 sessions, $0.02 extra), $149/mo (5,000, $0.015 extra) | Success costs more |
| Pure per-unit API metering | Per credit, no floor | FASHN: $0.075 per credit, down to $0.0488 at committed volume | You are now doing capacity planning |
| Tiered by active SKU count | Fee per band of live products | Fittingbox: $59/mo (10 products), $99/mo (50), $199/mo (200). Tangiblee: $5,999/yr (500 SKUs) | Catalog growth, not traffic, moves the bill |
| Subscription plus transaction fee | Monthly fee and a cut of sales | Zakeke: $69.90/mo plus 1.9% of sales, up to $299.90/mo plus 1.5% | Your best month costs you twice |
| Per-asset digitization fee | One-off per product model | Auglio: 3D models from $35/SKU. Camweara: $0.70 per jewelry image, $2.00 per eyewear model | Recurs every season you add products |
Enterprise custom quotes sit on top of all seven. Threekit, Tangiblee's own site, Perfect Corp, Doji and the top tiers at Banuba, Camweara, mirrAR and 3DLOOK publish nothing at all.
Flat SaaS Subscription Pricing
The standard software as a service arrangement. Fixed monthly fee, the vendor absorbs variability, finance forecasts it cleanly. Most ecommerce SaaS works this way and most buyers default to it without thinking.
It works against you in one specific case. A seasonal store pays the same in February as in November, and the February bill buys almost nothing. Annual prepay typically saves 10 to 20 percent at published rates, which is worth taking only once you know the virtual try-on tool actually works on your catalog.
Watch for one variant that looks flat and is not. Zakeke's Shopify plans run $69.90, $129.90 and $299.90 a month, and every tier also takes a transaction fee of 1.9, 1.7 or 1.5 percent on sales made through the configurator. That is a revenue share wearing a subscription's clothing, and it means a good quarter raises your software cost twice over.
Usage-Based Pricing and Paying Per Try-On
Most of this market has landed here, and the published per-unit rates are unusually transparent, so read this part closely.
TryOn Virtual runs a free tier at 50 sessions a month, Growth at $49/month for 500 sessions with extras at $0.02, and Scale at $149/month for 5,000 sessions with extras at $0.015. They also define the billable unit properly, as a session where a customer opens the widget and sees at least one product on themselves. Ask every vendor for that definition in writing, because "a try-on" is not a self-evident quantity.
Vue charges $20/month for 200 try-ons with extras at $0.18, $35/month for 500 at $0.15, and $75/month for 1,500 at $0.12. Reality Try runs $19.99/month for 100 credits, $49.99 for 300 with overage at $0.12, and $99.99 for 1,000 with overage at $0.10. Robosize bills by monthly store visitors at $9.99, $49.99 and $149.99, with sessions from 50 to 1,250 and overage at $0.10. mirrAR's Shopify app prices credits by category, where a jewelry try-on costs 1 credit, virtual makeup costs 2, and virtual clothing costs 4, which is the clearest published admission that garment rendering is the expensive one.
For teams wiring virtual try-on applications into their own front end, FASHN sells raw API credits at $0.075 each, dropping to $0.0488 on its $1,249/month tier.
Now look at the spread. The marginal cost of one virtual try-on, from vendors willing to state it, runs from about one and a half cents to eighteen cents. That is a twelvefold difference for broadly the same operation. Rate alone should not pick your vendor. A vendor quoting eighteen cents should be asked why.
The catch with usage-based pricing is uncomfortable. If the try-on feature works, shoppers use it, and use costs money. A store whose tool gets genuinely popular can watch its bill triple in the same quarter its conversion rate improves. Model your upside case as a cost case too.
Freemium and Free Virtual Try-On Tools
Free tiers are real. TryOn Virtual publishes 50 sessions a month at no cost, plus three free AI-built 3D models. mirrAR's app gives 20 free credits. Reality Try offers 20 free try-on credits. Vue, Fittingbox and Banuba run trials of 3, 14 and 14 days instead.
Fifty sessions is enough to judge whether render quality suits your product photography. It is not enough to measure anything about conversion. Treat the freemium tier as a quality check, not a pilot.
One honest caution about the cheap end, stated as observed fact rather than opinion. On August 3rd 2026, Tryroom's Shopify listing showed 0.0 stars from 0 reviews and Reality Try showed the same. Vue showed 5.0 from 2 reviews. Tangiblee showed 4.3 from 3. Meanwhile Zakeke showed 4.6 from 92 reviews and Camweara 5.0 from 57. Outside those two, nearly every listing in this category has a review base in the single digits. None of that makes the cheap tools bad. It does mean you are the one running the evaluation, and that star ratings here carry almost no information.
Enterprise Custom Pricing and Why Vendors Hide It
Across the fit-and-sizing half of this category, published pricing is the exception. True Fit, Fit Analytics, Fit:Match, Bridely, Threekit and Perfect Corp all route you to a demo request rather than a price.
Vendors will say every deployment differs. Sometimes true. The practical reason is that hiding the number lets them price against your revenue rather than their cost, and removes any benchmark you could argue from. Tangiblee states plainly on its own site that pricing is custom and varies by catalog size and sessions. Its Shopify listing publishes $5,999 a year for 500 SKUs. Same company, same product, one channel quoting and one channel telling you.
The negotiation section has the questions that force a real figure out of a sales call.
Why the Same Virtual Try-On Platform Charges Two Different Prices
This one is worth its own section because it is free money and almost nobody knows about it.
Several vendors run different price lists on their own site and on the ecommerce platform app store, for the same product. The gaps are not small.
| Vendor | Direct from vendor site | On the Shopify App Store |
|---|---|---|
| mirrAR | from $149/mo, plus a one-time setup fee | from $15/mo (200 credits) |
| Camweara | $990/yr Starter (300 SKUs) | $39/mo Lite (70 products), $900/yr Starter |
| Tangiblee | "custom pricing", quote only | $5,999/yr, 500 SKUs |
mirrAR's entry point is roughly ten times cheaper through the app store than through its own pricing page. Camweara's website does not show the $39 Lite tier at all. And notice mirrAR's direct pricing hedges every tier with "starting at" plus an unquantified one-time setup fee, which is two pieces of pricing vagueness in a single line.
So before you accept any quote, check whether that vendor lists on your ecommerce platform's app store, and compare. Then ask the sales rep to explain the difference. Sometimes the answer is legitimate, because the app store version has fewer integration options. Sometimes the answer is that the direct price was aimed at whoever did not check.

Entry-Level Virtual Try-On Software
Under $50 a month on an ecommerce platform app listing, installed in minutes. You get a working virtual try-on feature on product pages and basic analytics. You do not get catalog automation, a real API, or anybody's phone number. Correctly priced for what it is, which is a way to find out whether shoppers use the thing before you spend properly.
Mid-Tier Virtual Try-On Platforms
Roughly $75 to $450 a month. Larger allowances, branding removal, better support, real integration rather than a widget. Most DTC brands doing $500K to $5M land here and stay. GlamAR, Auglio, Camweara and Fittingbox all cluster in this band, and this is where you start being able to negotiate.
Enterprise Virtual Try-On Technology
$499 a month and up, where 3DLOOK's published plans begin and where Banuba's Shopify Smart tier sits at $1,599. Body-scanning and size-prediction platforms cost more because they solve fit rather than appearance, which needs measurement infrastructure and considerably more computer vision work per user, plus AI models trained to analyze body geometry rather than just composite an image.
Be clear about that distinction, because it drives price more than any feature list. Showing a shopper how a garment looks and telling them what size to order are separate products solving separate problems. Needing both means buying two things.
How AI and AR Change What You Actually Pay
The technology choice is a pricing decision, and this is the part vendors prefer to discuss as a feature comparison instead.
AI virtual try-on uses advanced AI models to render your existing product photography onto a shopper's photo. There is no geometry to build, so the per-product cost is close to zero and the bill scales with renders. AR try-on uses augmented reality to overlay a built 3D model on a live camera feed. It handles rigid objects beautifully, which is why eyewear and jewelry brands use it, and it needs an asset per product, so the bill scales with your catalog.
The distinction shows up in your invoice, not in the demo. Augmented reality implementations charge you for geometry. AI algorithms charge you for compute. That is the whole pricing story in two sentences, and it explains why a virtual styling or virtual makeup use case on a 40-SKU range prices completely differently from apparel across 4,000 SKUs.
Neither is better. They fail differently. AR gives you real-time rotation and depth on a pair of glasses. AI gives you realistic virtual garments with correct drape on soft goods that 3D cloth simulation still struggles with, and the realism of the try-on experience on apparel is where AI has pulled ahead. For a full breakdown of the technology trade-off rather than the money one, our AI versus AR comparison covers it, and the 2D versus 3D piece covers the asset pipeline in detail.
The budget rule that falls out of this: if your catalog is large and changes often, per-SKU asset costs will dominate everything else, and AI-based rendering is the cheaper architecture. If your catalog is small, stable, and made of rigid objects, AR's asset cost is a one-time hit worth taking for the better interaction.
The Hidden Costs of Virtual Try-On Nobody Quotes You
The subscription is the part everyone budgets. These are the parts that turn a $119 line item into a project. This is the total cost of ownership view, and it is what your CFO asks about first.
- Product digitization. The big one, covered below.
- Integration and developer time. A one-click app install genuinely is near-zero. A custom theme, a headless storefront, or an ERP-linked catalog is not. Budget internal engineering hours, not vendor fees.
- Product photography rework. Try-on output is only as good as the garment images fed in. Retailers with inconsistent product shots often need a reshoot before the software looks acceptable, and that additional cost lands before you see any benefit.
- Transaction fees. Zakeke takes 1.5 to 1.9 percent of sales through the configurator on top of the monthly fee. Read for this in every contract.
- Setup fees. mirrAR attaches a one-time setup charge to every direct tier without publishing the amount.
- Ongoing optimization. Someone watches which categories convert, which renders look wrong, and where the button goes.
- Overage. On a metered plan the cost of a good month is real. At $0.15 per try-on, an extra 2,000 sessions is $300.
Product Digitization and 3D Models Versus Photo-Based Rendering
This is the line that kills more virtual try-on business cases than anything else, and pricing pages leave it out almost universally.
If your approach needs a 3D model per product, someone builds one per product. Three vendors publish what that costs. Auglio's Shopify listing states that full 3D models start at $35 per SKU, on top of a subscription that reaches $369 a month. Camweara charges $0.70 per jewelry image and $2.00 per eyewear model beyond free credits. Fittingbox prices frame digitization at €22 to €250 per frame depending on quality tier, with a three-week turnaround.
Run Auglio's number across a catalog. A 500-product range is $17,500 in asset creation before a single subscription month is paid, and it recurs every season you add products. At Fittingbox's midpoint the same catalog is far worse. That is why the 2D versus 3D decision is really a budget decision wearing a technical costume.
And here is the cleanest illustration in the whole category. GlamAR publishes its subscription tiers to the dollar at $250, $350 and $450 a month, and states on that same page that the plans assume you already have AR-ready 3D models. Its 3D model creation page then shows tiers for 100, 300 and 500 SKUs, lists volume discounts of 5, 10 and 15 percent, and gives no price at all. There is a "Get Quotation" button where the number should be. The company will tell you exactly what the software costs and will not tell you what the thing the software requires costs.
Ask every vendor one question before signing: what does it cost me to add one thousand products next spring?
Training, Support, and Ongoing Optimization
Small at entry tier, real at enterprise. Some contracts price onboarding separately from the license, and Banuba quotes professional services like bulk SKU upload and custom UI development separately from the platform fee. Ask whether support is included or tiered, and whether "priority support" means an actual human.
What Does Virtual Try-On App Development Cost to Build In-House?
Custom virtual try-on app development is quoted at $5,000 to $250,000+ across four agencies' published estimates, with most placing a production build between $50,000 and $100,000. Those figures come from firms selling software development services and none publish a methodology. Maintenance, model retraining and hosting continue for as long as the product exists.
The published ranges: TheNineHertz lists basic at $5,000 to $35,000, medium at $35,000 to $100,000, and complex at $100,000 to $250,000+. TrueValue Infosoft lists $20,000 to $50,000, then $50,000 to $100,000, then $100,000 to $250,000. Syndell starts around $50,000 and passes $200,000 for feature-rich builds. IdeaUsher publishes a phased table totalling $10,000 to $100,000, including 3D modeling and asset creation at $3,000 to $12,000.
Treat all of it as sales collateral. Here is the tell. TheNineHertz lists North American developer rates at $25 to $75 an hour, below both its European and Middle Eastern bands. That is not a credible price for a US development team, which suggests these ranges exist to make an offshore quote look reasonable rather than to describe a market. Use them as evidence that custom development costs a lot, not as a number for your board deck.
The development process itself is the other cost nobody models. A build is not done at launch. Try-on models need retraining as fashion and photography conventions shift, and your development costs continue indefinitely.
For almost any ecommerce business under $5M in revenue, buying wins on arithmetic alone. A $119 monthly subscription runs for seven years before reaching the bottom of the mid-range build estimate, and the vendor absorbs model improvements along the way. The cost to develop your own makes sense when try-on is your product rather than a feature on your product page, or when a bespoke fit algorithm is a genuine competitive advantage. Our guide for DTC and small ecommerce brands walks that decision in more detail.
Virtual Try-On ROI and When the Software Pays for Itself
Before any arithmetic, the thing every vendor cost guide omits.
There is no independent measurement of virtual try-on's effect on conversion rates or return rates. We went looking properly. What exists is vendor self-reporting plus a handful of platform-published merchant case studies. No analyst firm report, no peer-reviewed study, no controlled trial in the public domain as of August 2026.
The single most-quoted number in this category, that products with 3D or AR content increase conversion rates by 94 percent, traces to a 2020 Shopify social media post, not a study. It is not on Shopify's current 3D commerce page, and the blogs attributing it to a "2024 Shopify study" are simply wrong. Keep it out of your business case, because someone will check.
What Shopify does publish, as named merchant results: Rebecca Minkoff found shoppers viewing a product as a 3D model were 44 percent more likely to add it to cart, and those using AR were 65 percent more likely to buy. Oakywood reported average order value up 458 percent in Germany after 3D scanning. Two self-selected merchants, published by a platform with an interest in 3D adoption. Useful, not conclusive.
So build the model on numbers you can verify, which are your own.
Monthly gain = (extra conversions x average order value x margin)
+ (returns avoided x cost per return)
Payback period = total first-year cost / monthly gain
Total first-year cost means subscription plus digitization plus integration hours plus any transaction fees, not just the subscription.
The Conversion Rate Side of the Math
We are not going to put a Rooop conversion figure here. We do not hold an aggregate across our own customers that we would be willing to defend in public, and adding one more self-reported number to a section that just finished explaining why self-reported numbers are worthless would be its own kind of dishonest.
Model a threshold instead. Work out how many extra orders a month it takes to cover the subscription, then ask whether that number is plausible on your traffic. On a $119 plan against an $80 average order value at 40 percent margin, it is under four extra orders. That is the bar, and it is a far more useful thing to argue about than whose percentage is bigger.
The mechanism is at least plausible. A shopper who can visualize a product on themselves hesitates less, and hesitation is where online fashion sales die. Whether that is worth $119 a month to you is an empirical question about your store, not a fact about the technology.
The Return Rate Side of the Math
This side usually matters more, and it rests on better evidence, because returns data comes from outside the vendor community.
The National Retail Federation and Happy Returns put 19.3 percent of online sales as returned during 2025, against 15.8 percent across retail overall, on $849.9 billion of total US returns. Optoro's returns research puts the cost of processing a return at roughly 27 percent of the purchase price, enough to erase half the margin on the original sale.
That 27 percent figure is the one to model with, because it scales to your average order value instead of relying on a flat dollar estimate nobody can source. High return rates are the reason this category exists, and cost reduction on the returns line is where the payback comes from.
Break-Even Analysis with a Worked Example
Round numbers chosen to be legible. The reduction assumption below is the conservative end of the published third-party range, not a Rooop figure.
A store does 1,000 orders a month at $80 average order value, 40 percent margin, on a 19.3 percent online return rate. At 27 percent of purchase price, each return costs about $21.60.
| Line | Monthly |
|---|---|
| Returns at 19.3% of 1,000 orders | 193 returns |
| Cost of those returns | about $4,169 |
| Reduction needed to cover a $119 plan | about 2.9% |
| At the bottom of the published range, a 20% reduction | 39 returns avoided |
| Value of avoided returns | about $842 |
| Mid-tier subscription | -$119 |
| Net on the returns line alone | about +$723 |
The number to look at in that table is not the net. It is the 2.9 percent. That is how small a reduction has to be before the software has paid for itself, and it reframes the entire purchase. You are not betting on a heroic vendor statistic. You are asking whether a product-page tool can plausibly prevent three of every hundred returns you currently take back, then running a pilot to find out whether it did.
Do the same arithmetic with your own order count, return rate, and average order value before any sales call. If your break-even reduction comes out in the low single digits, the decision is easy. If it comes out in double digits, no vendor claim should talk you into it.
Now the case vendors do not show you. A store doing 60 orders a month with a 12 percent return rate on non-apparel products has almost no returns to recover and far too little traffic to measure a conversion change. At that scale try-on is a bet on customer engagement, not a payback calculation. Run the $20 tier for a quarter and look at real data before spending more.
Which Pricing Tier Fits Your Ecommerce Business?
Two variables drive cost, and revenue is only one of them. Catalog size is the other, because it drives digitization and because several vendors price on SKU count directly.
Under 100 SKUs and under $250K revenue: the $9 to $25 entry tier on an ecommerce platform app store. Prove usage first, and use the free tiers before that.
100 to 1,000 SKUs and $250K to $5M: the $75 to $450 mid tier. This is where the returns math starts working properly, where branding removal matters, and where scaling virtual try-on across more than one category becomes the question.
Over 1,000 SKUs or a genuine sizing problem: expect to be quoted, expect the number to start in the high hundreds monthly, and expect asset costs to be the real negotiation rather than the license. On a per-SKU model, a large catalog is the entire conversation.
Free Versus Paid Virtual Try-On Solutions
What you give up on a free tier, roughly in order of how much it will annoy you: render volume, vendor branding on the output, catalog automation, API access, analytics beyond a basic dashboard, and support.
What you keep is enough capability to judge whether render quality suits your products. That is genuinely useful, and free tiers from TryOn Virtual, mirrAR and Reality Try all give you enough to look at high-quality virtual output on your own SKUs before paying anyone.
The trap is running a free tier for six months, concluding virtual try-on does not work for your store, and having actually only concluded that fifty sessions is not a sample size.

Nothing ranking for this keyword covers this, which is odd, because it is where the money is. Eight questions, in order.
- What is the price per additional session above my allowance? Published rates run $0.015 to $0.18. Anchor low and make them justify the gap.
- How do you define a billable session? TryOn Virtual's definition, a widget opened with at least one product rendered on the shopper, is the clearest published one. Get yours in writing.
- What does it cost to add 1,000 products? Auglio publishes $35 per SKU. Anyone quoting materially more owes you an explanation.
- Are there transaction fees or setup fees on top of the monthly price?
- Do you list on my ecommerce platform's app store, and is that price different? Ask this before you accept a direct quote.
- What happens to my rate at renewal? Get the cap in writing.
- Can I run a paid pilot on one category before committing annually?
- What is the exit? If I leave, do my renders stay live through a notice period.
Annual prepay is the obvious lever, worth 10 to 20 percent at published rates, and Fittingbox, Tryroom, Zakeke and Camweara all publish annual discounts between 8 and 17 percent. The less obvious lever is your case study. Vendors in a young market need reference customers badly, and agreeing to be one is worth real discount if you ask before signing rather than after.
The Virtual Try-On Market and What It Means for Your Pricing
Worth knowing where this sits, because the market for virtual try-on is young enough that pricing is still unstable and that works in your favour.
Mordor Intelligence sizes the virtual try-on market at $15.18 billion in 2025, reaching $48.10 billion by 2030 at a 25.95% CAGR, with software at 61 percent of component revenue and apparel the largest application at 48 percent.
Two practical consequences for a buyer. First, vendors are competing for adoption rather than harvesting a mature base, which is exactly when discounts and pilot terms are available. Ask for both.
Second, prices in this category move, and so do the companies. Veesual, which sold virtual try-on services until recently, has pivoted entirely to a video product. Zyler became a bridal-only tool. Any pricing you read anywhere, this page included, has a shelf life measured in months. Re-verify before you sign, and be wary of roundups that have not been touched since last year, because they will quote you a virtual try-on experience from a company that no longer sells one.
Benefits of Virtual Try-On That Justify the Cost
Short version, each paired with the cost line it offsets. Stated as directions, not as percentages, for the reason this whole page keeps making.
- Reduce returns, which offsets warehouse and shipping cost directly. For online retailers carrying apparel that is usually the single largest recoverable cost, and it is the line where the payback is easiest to verify because you already measure it.
- Increase sales through a better conversion rate, offsetting acquisition spend, which for most retailers is the largest controllable line in the business.
- Higher average order value, where seeing an item on themselves moves a shopper from one cautious purchase to a considered second one.
- Lower cart abandonment, since the unanswered question that stalls a checkout gets answered on the product page instead.
- A better online shopping experience, because a shopper who can see the look and fit of an item on themselves asks fewer questions and hesitates less.
- Less product photography, where the tool generates model imagery as well as try-ons.
- Better data. A try-on tool tells you which products get looked at seriously, which feeds merchandising and marketing strategies you could not run before.
The honest framing is that VTO does not create demand. It removes a reason not to buy. Whether that is worth the money depends entirely on how much of your current loss is visualization-shaped, which is why the returns line matters more than the conversion line for most stores.
Those are the benefits of virtual try-on stated as offsets rather than as promises, because that is how a budget conversation actually goes. For what the technology does and where it fails, our complete guide to virtual try-on technology is the place to start, the software comparison covers features rather than prices, and if sizing rather than appearance is your problem, the virtual fitting room software roundup is the closer match. Retailers weighing in-store hardware against web software should read the virtual mirror comparison, because the capital costs there are an order of magnitude different again.
Rooop Virtual Try-On Pricing and What It Buys
Our prices, published, current as of August 2026.
| Plan | Price | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $24/month | 150 credits/month |
| Pro | $119/month | 600 credits/month |
| Business | $399/month | 1,200 credits/month |
Annual billing takes 20 percent off. Our published plans carry no hidden fees and no lock-in contracts, and we would rather be held to that in public than explain it on a sales call.
What the credits buy: AI-rendered try-ons at 99 percent visual fidelity, no 3D models required because renders come from your existing product photography, and typical implementation in two to four hours. Adopting virtual try-on this way means the per-SKU asset cost that dominates the AR side of this article does not apply to you at all, which is the whole design intent.
The honest limitations, and there are three. Credit pricing is worse than flat pricing if your traffic is spiky, because a good month costs more. Our approach shows how a garment looks, not what size to order, so a store whose returns are purely a size and fit problem may need a measurement platform alongside it. And we cannot hand you a controlled study showing what we do to your return rate, because nobody in this category has one, which is why we keep saying to run your own pilot.
