CatalogShoot vs. the field
Every AI photo tool does part of the job. We do all of it — in one Shopify app.
The studio photoshoot, the AI product video, and the try-on your shopper runs on their own selfie — one native app, one subscription. Most rivals give you the photoshoot or the try-on. Here's the whole board, with every price checked against the vendor's own site.
Add to ShopifyPhotos aren’t photos
You’re not picking a stock model. You’re the virtual art director.
Scene, light, pose, styling — you steer them all, and remix any look until it’s the shot you’d have booked a crew and a location for. A photoshoot you direct, not a garment pasted on a model.
Camp A — Studio apps
Make you on-model photos (and sometimes video). Their “try-on” dresses an AI model, not your shopper. Botika · SellerPic · MODA
CatalogShoot — both halves
The studio shoot and the shopper’s own-selfie try-on, native to Shopify, in a single product.
Camp B — Try-on widgets
Let a shopper try items on their own photo, but don’t shoot your catalog. Looksy · Reality Try · Genlook

Straight talk on price
We’re not the cheapest per raw image — SellerPic and MODA price a single photo lower, and that’s fine. The number that matters is what one subscription buys: the studio shoot, the product video, and the storefront try-on, all native to Shopify. The alternative is stitching a Camp-A studio app together with a Camp-B try-on widget — two bills, two dashboards, two support queues — and still no video. Photta is the only rival that reaches all three, and it does it as two separate products you paste into your theme yourself.
Notes
- Photta installs by pasting a
<script>tag into your theme; it has no Shopify App Store listing (apps.shopify.com/phottareturns 404), so it isn’t covered by Shopify’s app review, billing, or uninstall flow. - Photta splits merchant photos/video (“Studio”) and the shopper try-on widget (“Business”) into two separately-priced products.
- Per-unit prices are each vendor’s own effective rates as of 25 Jul 2026, converted to per-photo / per-video / per-try-on where a plan is sold in credits. Competitor plans change often — we re-check before each update. Our own per-photo figure is the pay-as-you-go rate across plan tiers; video and try-on draw from the same usage allowance.
