Fittingbox alternatives, from someone who is not one for opticians
The short answer
If you are an optician and glasses are what you sell, install Fittingbox. Their pre-digitised library runs to more than 195,000 frames from over 1,200 brands, which means your catalogue is very likely already modelled — years of work you would otherwise pay for. Custivo is not a better answer to that problem and this page will not pretend it is. We are the alternative for a shop where eyewear is one range among several, and where the rest of the catalogue also needs 3D, AR or try-on.

Both ladders are published, both carry a free trial, and both start at the same price point. The difference is what a rung is drawn around: theirs meters active products and monthly try-on users, ours meters scenes with every experience included.

Where Fittingbox is the better answer
A frame library nobody else has
By their own count, more than 195,000 frames from over 1,200 brands, already digitised. If your catalogue is in it, your try-on is finished before you start — and that is a moat measured in years, not features.
Built for optical, all the way down
Lens rendering, precise frame positioning and the accuracy an optician's customer expects when judging a frame on their own face. Specialist depth, in a category that punishes the lack of it.
The category authority
Eyewear is the oldest and best-solved try-on category, and Fittingbox is a large part of why. If glasses are your business, you are buying into that.
Where Custivo is the better answer
The rest of your catalogue
Custivo covers shoes and hats with the live camera, watches, bracelets and rings from a photo, plus 3D and AR for anything with geometry. A shop selling frames alongside other ranges gets one app instead of two.
Every experience on one subscription
Fittingbox is glasses try-on, done deeply. Custivo's Scale plan carries try-on alongside the 3D viewer, AR, the configurator and customization — the whole product page on one subscription rather than one app per capability.
Four storefronts
Shopify, ikas, Wix and Salla plus any other store through a script tag.
So which one
Both lists are honest. If the left column describes your store, install the other app — you will be happier and we would rather you found that out here than after a month of trying.
Choose Fittingbox if
You are an optician and eyewear is your entire catalogue.
Your frames are already in their digitised library.
You need lens and prescription accuracy in the try-on.
Choose Custivo if
Eyewear is one range among several that all need 3D, AR or try-on.
You want the 3D viewer, AR or customization on the same subscription as try-on.
You sell beyond Shopify — ikas, Wix, Salla or your own storefront.
Switching from Fittingbox
For a pure optical store, do not. This is the one comparison on the site where the honest recommendation is to stay where you are — a digitised frame library is not something we can replicate for you. The move only makes sense if eyewear has become a smaller part of a broader catalogue, in which case your models import as they are and the frames are the part you would need to rebuild.
Your glTF and GLB models import as they are — the modelling work is not repeated.
The same scenes run on Shopify, ikas, Wix, Salla and any other storefront through a script tag.
The trial is long enough to rebuild one product and compare the two side by side before you cancel anything.
