ARQR360 vs WANNA: What a Footwear Store Actually Gets from Each

Picture a shoe store owner in Chicago. She sells boots and sneakers from one shop and a website. Online shoppers keep asking the same question. How will these look on my feet. A friend sends her a video of a sneaker try-on. A shopper points their phone at their foot and the shoe appears on it, tracked as the foot moves. The tech behind that video has a name. WANNA, the AR try-on company inside Perfect Corp. She looks them up. Then she finds ARQR360. Two very different answers to one question. Here is the honest version.

What WANNA is

WANNA builds virtual try-on technology for fashion. It started as Wannaby, the company behind the Wanna Kicks sneaker app, and Perfect Corp acquired it in a deal announced in December 2024. Today WANNA is the footwear and accessories arm of Perfect Corp, the beauty and fashion tech company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Its try-on covers sneakers, heels, boots, sandals, loafers, brogues, mules, and ballerinas, and it runs on web, iOS, Android, and WeChat mini-programs.

The tech is serious. Their heel try-on lets a shopper check heel height with precision and study the shoe from side, sole, top-down, and rear angles. It is built to serve brands, especially fashion houses that want try-on inside their own apps and websites. WANNA delivers the technology. The brand or retailer supplies the 3D assets of each product, built to WANNA's spec, or works with their team to get them made.

What ARQR360 is

ARQR360 is a done-for-you AR catalogue for independent footwear retailers. You send photos of your bestselling shoes and their real listed sizes. We build true-to-size AR (Augmented Reality) views from them and hand you links and QR codes that open the try-on in your customer's phone browser. No app. No platform to learn. No 3D team on your side. About seven days from photos to a live catalogue.

The audience is different. ARQR360 is built for stores that sell finished shoes off the shelf, not brands running try-on across a global app.

Price: quote-based enterprise tech vs one public flat rate

WANNA does not publish pricing. You talk to their team, describe your catalogue and which channels you need, and get a quote. That is normal for enterprise software built for brands, and the final figure depends on product count, channels, and services. Reviews and directory listings do not agree on a number, so the only reliable way to know is to ask.

ARQR360 publishes its price: $249 one-time setup and $29 a month. The AR (Augmented Reality) views are included. No product cap, no per-view fee, no separate content creation charge on top.

Setup effort: a platform integration vs sending photos

A WANNA project means working with their team to integrate try-on into your site or app. Your shoes need 3D assets built to their spec first, then the web or app embed, then testing across devices. That is the right shape for a brand with a digital team and a marketing budget. It is a heavy shape for a shop with five staff and a Shopify store.

With ARQR360 the project is: send photos, get a working try-on catalogue back in about seven days. The links go on your product pages. The QR codes go on the shelf tags. There is nothing to integrate and nothing to maintain.

True-to-size accuracy

Both routes put the shoe on the shopper's foot at real scale. WANNA's strength is the tracking: the shoe follows the foot as it moves, and the multi-angle view lets a heel buyer study proportions closely. That is try-on as an experience, and it is why brands pay enterprise money for it.

ARQR360's strength is getting YOUR exact shoes live, fast. We build each AR (Augmented Reality) view from your product photos and the real listed size, and we check it against the real shoe before it ships. For a store whose problem is a customer guessing whether the boot will suit them, a true-to-size view of the actual boot that ships this month beats a beautiful tracking demo that ships next quarter.

One more number, and it is Shopify's own data, not ours: products with 3D or AR views convert about 94% better than products without. Whichever route you take, giving shoppers a true-to-size view beats a flat photo.

Who each one fits

WANNA makes sense if:

• You are a footwear brand or a large retailer with a digital team
• You want try-on inside your own app or website, across web and mobile
• You already have 3D assets of your shoes, or a budget to have them built
• Your budget fits a quoted enterprise platform

ARQR360 is designed for stores like yours if:

• You are an independent shoe retailer or showroom
• You sell finished shoes and hold no 3D files
• You use Shopify, WooCommerce, or a simple website
• You want shoppers to try your shoes on their own feet, fast
• You need one public price with no surprises

The question to ask both vendors

Before you sign anything, ask both of us the same four questions in writing: what is the full annual cost including every shoe view, who builds the views and from what source material, what happens to the views if you end the contract, and does the customer need to download an app. The answers will tell you which tool fits your store faster than any feature list.

The cheapest way to check if AR works for your store

You do not have to commit to anything to find out. Send a photo of your bestselling shoe and we will build you one true-to-size AR (Augmented Reality) view free. Point your own phone at your own foot and check it against the real shoe. If it does not convince you, you have spent nothing. Try the live footwear demo first: it opens in your phone browser, no install.

Try-on tech is only half the decision. The other half is what it does to the size returns that eat the margin. That side is covered in how shoe stores cut size returns with AR.
