Comparison
Stylab vs Pixelcut
Pixelcut is a general AI photo suite. Stylab is built for always-on Shopify product page try-on with cart analytics.
Pixelcut and Stylab both touch “AI + fashion images,” but the workflows differ. Pixelcut fits campaign assets, one-off edits, and creative production. Stylab fits always-on try-on embedded in Shopify product pages with session tracking and A/B testing.
If shoppers need try-on while browsing checkout-bound products — not in a design tool — you need a storefront widget, not a manual export workflow.

When Stylab is a better fit

Practical guide
How to evaluate both options
This comparison is for teams deciding between a finished Shopify app and a developer API. The right choice depends on who owns the build, the timeline, and what you need to measure on the storefront.
Build vs buy checklist
- Who maintains the widget? — Stylab ships the PDP button, upload flow, and admin. An API path means your team builds and maintains all of it.
- Time to first live try-on — merchants typically want days on Shopify; API projects are often weeks plus QA on mobile themes.
- Billing clarity — Stylab plans are try-on quotas through Shopify billing. APIs bill per call, GPU minute, or credit — plus your dev cost.
- Analytics & A/B — Stylab includes cart tracking and try-on vs control buckets. With an API, you instrument events yourself.
- Total cost at your volume — estimate monthly try-ons in our calculator, then add engineering and infra for the API route.
When an API makes sense: Custom mobile apps, non-Shopify stacks, in-store kiosks, or a product team that already runs ML pipelines. For standard Shopify apparel PDPs, a managed app is usually faster to validate.
Common mistakes
Avoid when comparing
- Using manual AI edits as a stand-in for scalable PDP try-on
