We make one of these apps. That is a bad starting position for a comparison, and the only fix we know is to be specific about what the others do well and blunt about where we are behind. All seven are free to install, so none of this has to be taken on faith.

| A whole layered look in one image, priced as a plan rather than per image | Fitwear | Nine pieces at once on any of our models, free plan included; on your own photo three free, six LITE, nine PRO — shoes and jewellery each in their own slot; 30 or 60 renders a month |
Almost every app in this category is a digital wardrobe: you photograph your clothes, the app catalogues them and suggests outfits as flat images or collages. Whering, Indyx, Acloset, Cladwell and Combyne all do that, and do it well.
A smaller group does photoreal try-on: rendering a garment onto a body so you can see how it reads before you commit. This used to be the dividing line — you either got a good wardrobe or you got try-on. It is not any more. Whering shipped try-on in 2026 and charges a credit per image; Pureple added it in late 2025; Indyx includes unlimited outfit selfies in its plan. Anyone telling you they are the only app that does this is behind on their reading, and that includes the version of this page we wrote a week ago.
So the question has moved. It is no longer "who can render a garment", it is what the render is worth, and how you pay for it. We include a set number each month rather than metering by the image, and we build outfits for a stated occasion out of the clothes you own. If you never wanted to see clothes on a body and just want the closet catalogued, a mature wardrobe app will treat you better today.
The biggest of the group by some distance — around 10 million users, and in July 2026 it raised funding from eBay Ventures and Google's AI Futures Fund. Strong free tier, and genuinely social: you can see friends' closets, save from their wishlists, and send someone an outfit built out of their wardrobe.
They also ship photoreal try-on now: upload a full-body photo, and each try-on — and each regeneration — costs one credit.
Best for: anyone who wants a free, mature wardrobe with friends in it, and would rather buy images one at a time than hold a subscription. Trade-off: credits burn as you use them, so heavy months cost more than a flat plan.
A Korean wardrobe assistant with a large international base and a Google Play Editor's Pick to its name. Broad feature set, several paid tiers from a low entry price up to an expert tier.
Best for: people who want lots of features cheaply. Trade-off: the tier structure takes a while to understand.
The most polished of the wardrobe apps, rated 4.8, and the one the press has noticed — it has been written up in the New York Times, the Guardian and Wirecutter. Open closets, collections you can send for feedback, and access to human stylists as a paid service.
Best for: people who want a premium experience and would consider a real stylist. Trade-off: styling someone else's wardrobe sits behind the paywall.
Around 87,000 App Store ratings at 4.8 — more than everyone else on this page put together. There is a wardrobe in there for your own clothes, but the centre of the product is elsewhere: collages built from a catalogue of hundreds of brands, a feed, and a daily outfit challenge.
Best for: people who enjoy styling as a hobby and want an audience for it. Trade-off: no wear tracking, no cost-per-wear, and no rendering of a garment onto a body — the collage is the output.
Capsule wardrobes and weather-aware suggestions, running for years. Free gives you one outfit a day; the paid tier lifts that, and there is a separate higher tier with a human stylist attached.
Best for: people who want a small, deliberate wardrobe rather than a big one.
One of the older outfit planners, and no longer only that: since September 2025 it renders garments too — onto a stock model, or onto your own photo on the premium tier. Worth knowing before you assume the veterans do not do this.
Best for: people who want a planner with try-on bolted on. Trade-off: background removal is paid for by watching an ad each time, and the supply of those ads runs out mid-session.
Different premise: it starts from your colour season, analysed from a selfie, and styles from there. That is a real service that costs hundreds of dollars in person.
Best for: anyone whose main question is "which colours suit me".
Three things, and the second is the one people miss. First, photoreal try-on on your own photo, or on one of our models if you would rather not upload yourself. Second, it renders a whole layered outfit in one image — nine pieces at once on one of our models, whatever you pay, stacked the way you would actually wear them: shirt under jacket under coat, with the shoes, bag, hat and jewellery on. On your own photo the free plan renders three of them — nine for your first five looks — LITE six and PRO nine. Not one garment swapped at a time. Third, a stylist that builds outfits for a stated occasion out of the clothes you already own.
Eleven categories have their own place on the body, so accessories are not a single junk drawer: shoes, bags, headwear and jewellery each sit in their own slot. Add an item by photographing it and it identifies itself — category, colour, material — and comes back as a clean studio shot on white, no light box required.
The first try-on takes about a minute and needs nothing from you but a tap — pick a model and a starter wardrobe comes with it. Free covers 5 try-ons a month plus 5 more as a welcome gift in your first 30 days, up to 30 items added a month, and 5 outfit sets. There are no ads on any tier, free included, and nothing to top up on top of a plan.
Best for: the second before you pay, and the ten minutes in front of a full wardrobe with nothing in it. Trade-off: we are weeks old, the listing still says "no ratings yet", and if all you want is a large closet catalogued, this is not the cheapest way to do it.
Comparing monthly prices across this list tells you almost nothing, because the apps are not selling the same unit. Most of them price storage: how many garments you may keep, and whether ads appear. Acloset is the clearest example — $3.99 buys 300 items, $9.99 buys 1,000, and saving an AI-generated image draws on beans, a separate consumable sold in packs from $1.99.
We price generation. Lite at $5.99 includes 30 photoreal try-ons and 30 outfit sets a month, about twenty cents a rendered image, with nothing to top up. Pro at $14.99 doubles both. No tier carries ads.
Which is cheaper depends entirely on what you do. Keeping a thousand garments catalogued is cheaper elsewhere and we would not pretend otherwise. Seeing clothes rendered on a body more than a couple of times a month is cheaper here, once the consumables are in the sum. Prices also move — these were taken in August 2026, so check the listings before you decide.
Ask what you want to happen next. "I want to know what I own" is a wardrobe app — Whering if free matters, Indyx if polish does. "I want to know whether this will look right on me before I pay for it" is the thing we built. Anything on this list beats the app you install and never open twice.
