Looking for a Botika Alternative?
Trayve generates photos in 60 seconds vs Botika's 8-12 minutes. Plus you get 2 free images (2,000 credits) to test properly.
Why Fashion Brands Are Looking for Botika Alternatives
Waiting 8-12 minutes per image kills your workflow. When you're launching products, testing different models, or iterating on poses - that delay adds up fast. You need speed, and that's exactly why you're looking for alternatives.
Trayve generates images in 60 seconds. You get 2 free images (2,000 credits) to test properly - enough to actually see if the platform works for your specific clothing style. Plus, Trayve includes PostReady for social media content and ShopReady for e-commerce shots. That's three tools in one platform.
Botika has Shopify integration and video generation that Trayve doesn't offer yet (our Shopify app is launching soon). But if speed matters, if you want to test before committing, and if you need social + e-commerce tools built in - Trayve is the better choice.
Speed and Generation Time Comparison
Here's the biggest difference between Trayve and Botika: generation speed. Trayve generates a batch of images in about 60 seconds for 2K resolution, or under a minute for 4K. Botika takes approximately 8-12 minutes per image based on user reports. That's an 8x to 12x speed difference.
Why does this matter beyond just impatience? Because when you're launching a new collection, testing which model works best for a design, or trying to get products live for a trending style, every minute counts. With Trayve, you upload a product, pick your model and poses, and you're looking at finished images in one minute. With Botika, you're waiting 8-12 minutes between each test.
Let's say you're shooting 20 new products for spring. With Trayve, you can upload all 20, generate images for each with different models and poses, and be completely done in about an hour including upload time. With Botika, that same batch would take several hours if you're doing them sequentially.
The real-world impact shows up when you're iterating. You generate an image, realize the pose doesn't work for that particular garment, and want to try a different one. With Trayve, you make that change and wait 60 seconds. With Botika, you wait another 8-12 minutes. That kind of delay kills momentum when you're in the middle of a creative workflow.
Real scenario: You see a trending style on TikTok and want to test whether that look would work in your store. Waiting hours for photos means the trend might pass before you even have images live. Trayve lets you go from idea to product photos to listing in the same morning.
Free Credits and Trial: 2,000 vs 8 Credits
The second major difference is how much you get to test before paying anything. Trayve gives you 2,000 free credits when you sign up - no credit card required. That's 2 complete images (1,000 credits per image). Botika gives you 8 free credits.
In Trayve's system, generating one complete image costs 1,000 credits. So 2,000 credits means you can generate 2 complete images with different models and poses to really see if the AI works for your specific clothing style. That's enough to test a t-shirt and a pair of jeans, or a dress and a jacket.
In Botika's system, 1 photo costs 1 credit. So 8 credits means 8 individual photos. If you're trying to test whether the platform works for your products, 8 photos goes pretty fast - maybe 2-3 products with a couple different models. Then you need to decide if you want to pay before really knowing if it's right for you.
The difference is 2 complete test images with Trayve vs 8 individual photos with Botika. That's enough to properly test whether the platform works for your specific products before making a financial commitment. For small brands operating on tight budgets, that matters.
This is especially important because not every AI fashion platform works equally well for every clothing type. Some platforms handle structured garments like jackets better than flowy dresses. Others excel at basics but struggle with patterns. Having 2,000 credits means you can test your actual product range, not just one or two items, and make an informed decision.
Pricing: What You Actually Pay Per Month
| Feature | Trayve | Botika |
|---|---|---|
| Free trial | 2 images (2,000 credits) | 8 photos |
| Starter plan | Free (2 images) | $15/month (15 photos) |
| Creator plan | $29/month (30 images) | $50/month (60 photos) |
| Pro plan | $89/month (95 images) | $225/month (300 photos) |
| Enterprise | $199/month (220 images) | Custom pricing |
| Virtual Try-On Resolution | 2K (Creator), 2K+4K (Pro+) | HD to 4K by plan |
| PostReady/ShopReady 4K | All plans | N/A |
Botika's pricing is public and straightforward. Starter ($15/month) gives you 15 photos with HD resolution and fewer models. Pro ($50/month) gets you 60 photos, more models, and 2K resolution. Studio ($225/month) gives you 300 photos, all models, 4K resolution, and priority processing. All plans include credit rollover for annual subscriptions.
Trayve offers four plans: Free (2 images, 6 models, 2K resolution), Creator at $29/month (30 images, 22 models, 2K Virtual Try-On), Professional at $89/month (95 images, 22 models, 2K+4K Virtual Try-On), and Enterprise at $199/month (220 images, 22 models, 2K+4K Virtual Try-On). All paid plans include full access to PostReady and ShopReady with 4K upscaling capability, so you're getting model photos plus social media and e-commerce tools in one package.
Neither platform is objectively "cheaper" - it depends on how many images you need and what additional tools matter to you. But Trayve's 2 free images let you figure out your actual usage before committing to any paid plan.
AI Models and Pose Selection: Quality and Variety
Botika offers 50+ AI models across different body types, ages, and backgrounds. Trayve offers 22 models. Botika wins on pure quantity of models. If having the absolute maximum selection of AI models is critical, that's a point in their favor.
But here's what matters more than raw numbers: whether the models you have access to actually work for your clothing style. Trayve's 22 models were specifically curated to represent diverse body types and demographics while maintaining consistent quality across all of them. Each model has studio-grade lighting and professional quality built in.
Where Trayve pulls ahead is pose variety for Virtual Try-On. We offer 120 poses combined across all 22 models - that's approximately 5-6 poses per model. Each model has the same poses available, designed specifically for fashion photography. From straight-on product shots to editorial-style poses, casual poses for basics, and dynamic action poses. You can generate up to 4 poses at once, meaning you upload one product and get 4 different angles or positions in a single 60-second generation.
For most small fashion brands, 22 high-quality models with 5-6 poses each is plenty. You're not going to use all 50+ models anyway - you'll find 3-5 that match your brand aesthetic and stick with those. What matters more is getting those images fast and having poses that show off each garment properly.
PostReady and ShopReady: Built-In Tools Trayve Includes
This is where Trayve differentiates significantly from Botika. Botika gives you model photos in standard export formats. You take those photos and edit them yourself for different uses. Trayve includes two additional tools built into the same platform:
PostReady - For Social Media
Take your model photos from Virtual Try-On and drop them into lifestyle backgrounds. Choose from 8 photography themes (Studio, Editorial, Lifestyle, Street Style, Lookbook, Candid, Glamour, Minimalist) and 17 unique backgrounds like city streets, brick walls, forests, and beaches. This turns one model photo into multiple pieces of Instagram or Pinterest content without touching Photoshop. A model in your dress on a neutral background is fine for your product page. That same model in your dress on an urban street is what stops people scrolling.
ShopReady - For E-commerce
Take your model photos and generate clean product shots with 12 professional angles (4 for tops, 4 for bottoms, 4 for full outfits) and 10 solid color backgrounds. Front view, side view, back view, three-quarter angles - all from the original model photo. These are the images that go on your Shopify product page, your Amazon listing, or your website catalog. Clean, professional, consistent across your entire inventory.
Botika doesn't include these tools. You get the model photo and that's it. If you want lifestyle backgrounds, you're doing that work separately. If you want clean product angles, you're editing yourself or using another tool. With Trayve, it's all in one workflow: Virtual Try-On generates the model photo, PostReady creates social content, ShopReady creates e-commerce photos. Three outputs from one original upload.
Does every brand need these tools? No. If you're just trying to get basic model photos and you're comfortable editing yourself, Botika's simpler approach might be fine. But for brands actively marketing on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest while also maintaining e-commerce stores, Trayve's integrated tools save hours of additional work.
Shopify Integration and Video: Where Botika Wins
Let's be clear about where Botika has advantages Trayve doesn't offer yet.
Shopify Integration
Botika has a direct Shopify app. You can install it from the Shopify App Store and generate images from within your Shopify admin. Trayve's Shopify app is launching soon! Currently, you generate images on Trayve, download them, and upload to Shopify. Our Shopify integration is on the way to streamline this workflow.
Video Generation
Botika can create short video clips with AI models wearing your products. Videos cost 5 credits each (vs 1 credit for photos). This is useful for product pages, social media ads, or anywhere video performs better than static images. Trayve doesn't offer video generation yet - it's on our roadmap but not available now.
Mobile App
Botika has an iOS app that lets you generate photos from your phone. If you shoot product photos on your phone anyway, being able to upload and generate without switching to desktop is convenient. Trayve is desktop/web only currently.
Photo Fix Service
Botika includes a photo fix service where their team will manually correct issues with generated images. If a model's hand looks weird or a garment detail didn't render properly, you click 'Photo Issue' and they fix it. Processing time varies by plan. Trayve doesn't have this - what the AI generates is what you get, though you can regenerate if something looks off.
Bottom line: If Shopify integration is critical to your workflow, that might tip the scales toward Botika despite Trayve's speed and credit advantages. If you need video content now and can't wait for Trayve to add it, Botika has that capability today.
