Angle 3D Configurator (Best Overall)
3D product customisation with AR, for made-to-order products
From ~$39/mo (10 products)
Angle is a 3D product configurator with AR: bind Shopify variants to 3D options, let shoppers change colours and materials, engrave text, and see the result in their room. It assumes you have 3D models. For made-to-order brands with assets, it is excellent.
Pros
- Variants mapped to 3D options in real time
- Text engraving and conditional logic
- Dynamic pricing and live inventory
- AR placement on mobile
Cons
- Requires existing 3D models
- From $39 for ten products
- Configuration setup is a project
Skip it if: You do not have 3D models. Most stores do not, and Angle does not make them.
ARDisplay (Cheapest)
Free for 5 products, AI model generation included
Free (5 products) · from ~$29/mo
ARDisplay generates 3D models from a single photo and embeds a viewer with AR placement, free for five products. It is the cheapest way to find out whether AR moves the needle on your bestsellers before committing.
Pros
- Free for five products
- Photo-to-3D generation included
- Life-size AR placement
- Works with any theme
Cons
- Paid tiers jump quickly after five products
- No reviews yet on the App Store
- No true-scale lock like Try at Home
Skip it if: You need more than a handful of products in AR. The pricing steps are steep.
