If your brand sells cosmetics, use Banuba; if you sell apparel, Banuba's real-time face-tracking matrix is completely unviable, and Tuck's generative fabric engine is mandatory.
Banuba is engineered to resolve point structures on the human face for makeup, skincare, and eyewear simulation. It has zero native architectural capacity to map clothing onto a human torso or evaluate fabric stretch against standard apparel size charts.

|---|---|---|---|
| Core Target Category | Shopify Apparel & Fashion Soft Goods | Makeup, Cosmetics, Eyewear, Accessories | Absolute Category Divergence |
| Infrastructure Type | Proprietary Bare-Metal GenAI | Live Camera Mesh-Tracking AR SDK | 2D Photographic Synthesis vs. Real-Time Video Face-Mapping |
| Cost Per Session / Tier | $0.035 flat session charge | Tiers scaling from $319 to $1,599/mo | Category Mismatch (Incompatible Stacks) |
| 10k Monthly Cost | $350 clean apparel spend | $999 baseline (Pro Tier platform lock) | Inoperable for Apparel deployment |
| 3D Asset Requirement | None; works via standard JPEGs | None (for facial mapping and standard eyewear) | Facial Tracking Nodes vs. Textile Geometry |
You operate a premium cosmetics or eyewear brand that requires high-frame-rate, real-time facial filter tracking on a live front-facing camera feed.
You are a clothing brand that needs to drop online return rates by replacing confusing size charts with photorealistic generative try-on imagery.
Banuba dominates the facial tracking market but completely lacks a full-body apparel pipeline; clothing brands attempting to force-fit an AR facial mesh onto garments will face complete deployment failure.
