Virtual Try-On Pricing Models Explained: Per Try-On, Per Month or Per Seat

Virtual try-on pricing models come in three main types: per try-on, where you pay for each image the AI creates; per month, where a subscription includes a set number of try-ons; and per seat, where you pay for each staff login. Most try-on apps for fashion stores mix the first two, so the price you see is rarely the price you pay.

This guide explains each model, shows real examples from live app listings, and gives you a simple way to compare them on the same footing. For the basics of how try-on works on a product page, see our guide to AI fitting rooms for clothing sites.

What does per try-on pricing mean?

Per try-on pricing, also called usage pricing, charges you for each try-on image a shopper creates. You pay nothing, or very little, when nobody uses it, and more when traffic grows.

One example is Try It On ‑ AI Outfit, which is free to install with 5 free try-on credits, then $0.10 for each extra credit, according to its Shopify App Store listing (checked November 2026).

Usage pricing suits you when:

• your traffic is low or hard to predict
• you want to test try-on on a few products first
• you'd rather pay nothing in quiet months

The risk is the other side of the same coin. A sale, a viral post or a bot hitting your product pages can raise the bill without warning. Check whether the app lets you set a cap.

How does a monthly subscription with a quota work?

A monthly subscription charges a fixed fee that includes a set number of try-ons. This is the most common model for Shopify try-on apps, because it keeps your bill predictable.

The detail that matters is what happens when you go past the quota. There are two common answers.

Overage charges

Some plans keep try-on running and bill each extra try-on. For example, Try On Twin's Starter Standard plan is $19 a month for 150 try-ons, plus $0.12 for each additional try-on, per its App Store listing (checked November 2026). Shoppers never hit a wall, but your bill can grow.

A pause at the limit

Other plans stop that action until the next billing cycle. On ZeDaq.ai's Micro ($14/mo) and Starter ($49/mo) plans, when you reach your try-on or measurement limit, that action pauses until your next cycle or until you upgrade. Your bill stays fixed, but shoppers stop seeing try-on for the rest of the month.

Neither is better in every case. Overage suits stores that never want try-on to switch off. A pause suits stores on a tight, fixed budget.

What are credits and one-time packs?

Credits are prepaid units, where one credit usually buys one try-on. They work like usage pricing, but you pay up front.

Look for two details when an app sells credits:

• Do unused credits roll over or expire? Try It On's paid plans say "credits never expire" on its Shopify listing (checked November 2026).
• Is the pack recurring or one-time? TryMee offers a "Pack Unique" of 100 credits for a one-time $19.99, alongside monthly subscriptions, according to its App Store page (checked November 2026).

A one-time pack is a low-commitment way to test. It is less useful once try-on is a permanent part of your product pages, because you have to remember to top up.

When does per-seat pricing apply?

Per-seat pricing charges for each person on your team who logs in. It is common in business software such as CRMs and project tools, where cost grows with the number of staff users.

It is rare for shopper-facing try-on. The person using try-on is the shopper, not your staff, so the cost driver is try-ons, not logins. You are more likely to meet seat pricing in back-office tools, or as a cap on team members in a higher plan.

If a try-on quote does include seats, ask two questions. How many seats come with the plan, and what does each extra seat cost? The ZeDaq.ai pricing page lists no seat charge. Its plans are set by monthly try-ons, measurements and invoices.

How do you compare pricing models fairly?

Turn every plan into one number: the total cost for the try-ons you expect to use in a month. Use this formula:

1. Start with the monthly fee.
2. Subtract the included try-ons from your expected try-ons.
3. If the result is above zero, multiply it by the overage rate and add it to the fee.
4. If the plan pauses instead, check that the quota covers your expected use. If it doesn't, move up a plan.

Here is a worked example for two imaginary stores. Prices come from each live listing linked in the table, and they exclude tax.

Plan	Fee (checked November 2026)	Included	Store A: 60 try-ons a month	Store B: 400 try-ons a month
Try On Twin Starter Standard	$19/mo	150	$19	$19 + 250 × $0.12 = $49
Try It On Starter	$25/mo	150 credits	$25	Max plan fits better: $50 for 400 credits
TryMee Basic Subscription	$19.99/mo	120 credits	$19.99	Pro plan fits better: $59.99 for 500 credits
ZeDaq.ai Starter	$49/mo	75 try-ons, 100 measurements	$49	Growth fits better: $129 for 650 try-ons, unlimited measurements

On try-on volume alone, the try-on-only apps cost less in this example. The comparison changes if you also need size recommendation, because ZeDaq.ai plans include body-scan measurements alongside try-ons. Count every feature you would otherwise buy separately.

Which pricing model suits your store?

Match the model to your traffic pattern, not to the lowest headline price.

Your situation	Model that usually fits	What to check
Testing on a few products	Free tier, credits or a one-time pack	Do credits expire?
Low or irregular traffic	Per try-on or credits	Is there a monthly spending cap?
Steady monthly traffic	Subscription with a quota	Overage rate or pause at the limit
Big seasonal spikes	Subscription you can upgrade for a month	How fast can you change plans?
Large team using back-office tools	Plans that state seat limits	Cost of each extra seat

Pricing is only one part of choosing a provider. Fit accuracy, mobile speed and privacy matter just as much, and our checklist for choosing a try-on provider covers them.

FAQs

Is pay per try-on cheaper than a subscription?

It is often cheaper at low volume and more expensive at high volume. Work out your total cost at your expected monthly usage before deciding.

What counts as one try-on?

Usually one AI image of a garment on a shopper's photo. On ZeDaq.ai, each try-on render counts against the try-on limit, a body scan counts against the measurement limit, and size lookups count against neither.

Can I switch pricing plans later?

Most apps let you change plans as your traffic changes. Check whether the switch applies straight away or at the next billing cycle.

Does ZeDaq.ai have a free trial?

Yes. Every paid plan has a 3-day free trial with 5 free scans and no card required. If you signed up on the ZeDaq.ai website, your account continues on the Free plan after the trial.
