Fittingbox Virtual Try-On

Fittingbox Virtual Try-On is an eyewear fitting tool for retailers adding virtual previews to a website or store. It is best suited to businesses with a substantial frame catalog and the technical capacity to integrate it. Its mix of live and photo try-on is compelling, but monthly product and session caps make plan choice consequential.

Overview

The service uses augmented reality to show eyeglasses or sunglasses on a shopper’s face through a front-facing camera. Shoppers can upload a photo instead, which offers a route for those unwilling to grant camera access. Size Guarantee displays a frame at its accurate size on the face, adding a fit reference alongside the visual preview.

Fittingbox offers plug-and-play website and in-store options as well as an API-based customizable integration. Its daily updated database contains nearly 200,000 references from more than 1,200 brands, and the company can digitize a retailer’s own collection. That breadth can help established eyewear sellers cover a large assortment. Shopify merchants should account for a limitation: the app displays its try-on button only for frames in the Fittingbox database, so private-brand SKUs need digitization first. Wix is not supported.

Fittingbox says images are processed live in the shopper’s browser and are not hosted, stored, or retained by the company. It says it collects anonymous usage statistics, does not collect personal data from end users, and is GDPR compliant. These are useful privacy assurances for retailers, though they do not remove the need to meet the technical requirements for camera-based use.

Key features

Live and photo try-on: Camera-based previews support an immediate fitting experience; photo upload provides an alternative when camera access is undesirable.

Size Guarantee: Showing a frame at its accurate size on the face gives shoppers a more concrete sizing cue than appearance alone.

Catalog and digitization: The large, regularly updated brand database may reduce catalog setup work. Digitizing a retailer’s own frames can extend coverage, but private-brand Shopify products require that step before the app’s try-on button appears.

Integration choices: Plug-and-play options suit retailers seeking a more direct route to website or in-store use; the API provides a customizable path for businesses with integration resources.

Technical requirements: Advanced website Live mode requires HTTPS, and an embedded parent iframe must allow camera access. Retailers with sites that cannot meet those conditions should not assume the live experience will work as intended.

Pricing

Fittingbox is paid, with a 14-day trial and no free plan. Paid plans start at $59 per month. The lower tiers share core features, limited 3D digitization from photos, and synchronization with the Fittingbox database; their main differences are product and monthly try-on allowances.

Silver and Gold raise both quotas, making them more appropriate as catalog and shopper volume grow; they still cap usage and retain limited photo-based digitization. Custom is the better fit for larger or more demanding operations that need unlimited products and sessions, broader digitization, or a fully tailored integration, but its price is set individually. The annual options save 17% against monthly billing and require annual billing.

Platforms

Fittingbox supports Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and web, and offers API access. Its e-commerce integrations include Shopify, Magento, Drupal, PrestaShop, and WooCommerce; Wix is not supported. The Shopify app’s database restriction is particularly relevant to merchants selling private-label frames.

Who it's for

This is aimed at eyewear professionals selling eyeglasses and sunglasses, not retailers seeking try-on for other accessories. It is a strong candidate for businesses that want both live and photo previews, accurate-size display, and a choice between plug-and-play and customizable integration. Smaller catalogs or stores with limited monthly traffic may find Bronze sufficient; retailers needing broad product coverage or higher session volume should compare the higher tiers with their expected usage.

Pros and cons

Pro — Multiple ways to try frames: Camera and photo modes let shoppers choose between live fitting and an uploaded image.

Pro — Fit and catalog support: Size Guarantee, a large brand database, and custom-frame digitization address sizing and assortment needs for eyewear sellers.

Pro — Integration flexibility: Retailers can choose plug-and-play options or an API-based customizable integration.

Con — Usage caps on fixed-price plans: Bronze, Silver, and Gold limit both active products and monthly try-ons, so stores must match a tier to catalog and traffic.

Con — Setup and catalog caveats: Live mode has HTTPS and iframe camera-permission requirements; Shopify private-brand frames need digitization to appear with the try-on button.

Con — Narrow product scope: It supports eyeglasses and sunglasses, not other accessories.

Alternatives

Kivisense Virtual Try-On is worth considering if a free starting option matters: its free Essential plan is limited to two SKUs and non-commercial, non-branded projects, with a watermark. TryOn Virtual also has a free plan, with 25 sessions per month and three free AI-built 3D models; usage pauses at the limit.

TryOnCloud may suit teams wanting a free trial tier without a card, offering 10 try-ons per month, or a $19-per-month Starter plan with 100 monthly try-ons. Banuba TINT is another paid option, starting at $49 per month for 1,000 monthly try-ons, unlimited products, and seven try-on categories; that broader category coverage may suit sellers beyond eyewear.

Veesual uses one-time credit packs that never expire, which may suit buyers who prefer purchasing credits rather than a monthly subscription. Tryonixs offers a freemium model and a $19-per-month Starter plan with up to 25 products and Shopify integration. TryOnJewel is another paid alternative with a free trial. WEARFITS offers flexible pricing from €14 per product monthly or a €149 one-time charge for ultra-quality digitisation, with tailored enterprise solutions.

Verdict

Choose Fittingbox if you are an eyewear retailer that wants live and photo try-on, frame-size display, and flexible integration routes backed by a large frame database. The main reason to look elsewhere is the combination of tier quotas and setup constraints: smaller fixed plans cap both products and sessions, while live mode depends on HTTPS and camera permissions. Retailers needing unlimited scale or try-on for products beyond eyewear should compare other options.
