Quick answer: Looksy or GlassOn?
Choose GlassOn if eyewear-specific 3D assets, 360° views and face measurements are central to the buying experience. Choose Looksy if you want a broader Shopify merchandising flow that connects try-on with outfits, bundles, size help, follow-up and purchase analytics.
Where GlassOn stands out
GlassOn is purpose-built for eyewear. Its listing describes real-time virtual try-on, 360° product views, pupillary-distance and face measurements, and 3D glasses created from two photos. The vendor states that those assets can be ready in under 24 hours; human model adjustments carry a separate fee.
Where Looksy differs
Looksy’s current listing focuses on photo and live video try-on across a Shopify store, plus outfit building, bundles and upsells, size help, Klaviyo or Shopify Flow follow-up, and analytics. It does not present optical measurements or 360° eyewear assets as core features.
What to verify before installing
Confirm how many try-ons, images, sessions or credits your product mix will use, including overages.
Test the theme block or widget on desktop and mobile before expanding it across the catalog.
Read the current privacy and data-handling terms for shopper photos and generated results.
Measure engagement, cart and purchase behavior on your own catalog; vendor ROI claims are not independent proof.
Which option fits your store?
For an optical retailer that needs PD, face measurements and 360° frame assets, GlassOn is the more specialised choice. For a multi-category merchant that wants try-on connected to merchandising and retention tools, Looksy is the broader fit.
