Comparison
VTON vs Antla
We're going to lose a few of these comparisons. That's fine — picking the wrong tool for your store is more expensive than picking a different one.
Where Antla is stronger
- 3D garment models. Antla supports uploading actual 3D meshes for hero products. If you've already invested in 3D pipelines (Browzwear, CLO 3D), they read those files natively.
- Enterprise sales motion. If you need MSAs, dedicated SLAs, and onboarding consultants, Antla has the team for it.
- Studio model library. ~40 pre-shot models customers can pick from instead of uploading their own photo.
Where VTON is stronger
- Install time. One snippet vs Antla's Shopify app + theme integration call. Most VTON merchants are live the same day.
- Photo-based try-on. Customers use their own photo. The result looks like them, not a slightly-similar studio model. This is the whole reason size-related returns drop in the first place.
- Pricing. Free for the first 50 try-ons every month, then £49 for 1,000. Antla's published floor is ~$800/month. If you're under £20M GMV, the math is one-sided.
- No 3D asset prep. A flat product photo is enough. You don't need a 3D production pipeline.
- Foundation model quality. We use the same class of foundation model that powers ASOS's internal experiments. Image quality has caught up with — and in side-by-side blind tests, surpassed — the 3D-rendered approach for everyday product photography.

Pick Antla if
You're a tier-1 enterprise retailer with an existing 3D production pipeline, you've budgeted six figures annually for try-on, and your hero category is structured garments (tailoring, denim) where 3D simulation genuinely outperforms image-based generation. You also want a dedicated CSM and don't mind a multi-week setup.
Pick VTON if
You're a DTC brand or mid-market retailer doing under £50M GMV, you want to be live this week not next quarter, you don't want to commit before you see the return-rate impact on your real catalogue, and you'd rather pay £49–£249/month than negotiate a contract.
