ARQR360 vs Zakeke for Decor Stores: Where They Actually Differ

Picture a decor shop owner in Austin. She sells wall art, table lamps, mirrors, and vases. Her website looks good, but her customers keep asking the same question: "Will this lamp look right on my side table?" She knows the answer is AR. Let the customer point their phone at their own room and see the item in place. Then she starts shopping for AR tools and hits two names that look similar but are not: Zakeke and ARQR360.

Both put your products in the customer's room. That is where the similarity ends. Here is a fair look at what each one actually is, what it costs, and which store each one fits.

What Zakeke is

Zakeke is a visual product customizer first. It lets customers personalize products in 2D and 3D: swap colors, change fabrics, add prints, configure options. It has an AR (Augmented Reality) viewer built in, so a customer can preview a configured product in their space. It runs as an app on Shopify, Wix, and PrestaShop, and it is best known in the customization world.

Think of it this way. If your decor line has a lamp that comes in six finishes and three shade colors, Zakeke lets the customer build their version and drop it in their room. AR is one feature inside a bigger customization package.

What Zakeke costs

Zakeke charges a monthly subscription, and the plans are capped by the number of published products. On Shopify the tiers run about $19.90 a month for up to 10 products, $49.90 for up to 50, and $129.90 for up to 100. Every tier includes the 2D and 3D configurators plus the AR (Augmented Reality) viewer. Pricing differs by platform (Wix plans start higher), and there is a 14-day free trial. Figures are from the public app listings, checked October 2026. They can change, so check the listing before you decide.

Two things to notice. First, the cap is on products. A decor store with 300 SKUs sits above the biggest published tier and needs a custom plan. Second, the subscription buys the software. Read on for the part it does not buy.

The part the price does not cover: the 3D models

Zakeke's AR (Augmented Reality) viewer needs a true-to-size 3D model of each product. Someone has to build those models: from your photos and real dimensions, one model per product. The plans cover the customizer and the viewer. They do not cover model creation. If you do not already have 3D models of your stock, you still have to get them made, either by a 3D artist or a modelling service, before anything appears in AR.

This is the honest math for a decor store owner: the monthly fee is only half the cost. The models are the other half, and for a catalogue of hundreds of items, the other half is the big one.

Where ARQR360 differs

ARQR360 is the opposite arrangement. It is a done-for-you AR service, not software you configure. You send photos and real dimensions of your products, bestsellers first, and we build the true-to-size AR (Augmented Reality) views as part of the service. No 3D artist on your side. No model files to manage.

The price is flat and public: $249 one-time setup and $29 a month. No per-product caps, no per-model fees, no per-view fees. Your whole catalogue gets modelled, and new stock gets modelled the same way when your range changes. Your AR links and QR codes go live in about seven days.

ARQR360 does not do live customization. Your customer cannot recolor a lamp in the viewer. What they get is the product, exactly as it is, placed true to size in their own room. Try the live decor demo on your phone and place a lamp on your own table.

True-to-size accuracy

Both tools render whatever the 3D model says. Accuracy lives in the model, not the viewer. A model built from real dimensions places a 45cm lamp at 45cm on the table. A model that guessed will look close but sit wrong, and customers notice wrong.

With Zakeke, the accuracy of your AR is the accuracy of the models you supply. With ARQR360, the models are built from your photos and dimensions by our team, and the free test model exists so you can check the size against the real item on your own phone before you pay for anything.

Which one fits your store

Pick Zakeke if customization is the point. If your decor products come in many variants and your customers choose finishes and colors online, the configurator earns its keep, and the AR (Augmented Reality) view is a strong bonus. Budget for model creation on top of the subscription, and check the product cap against your catalogue size.

Pick ARQR360 if you want simple, honest AR: your customer sees your actual product at true size in their room, and you never touch a 3D file. It suits stores that sell fixed products and want the whole thing handled.

The safest way to decide

You do not have to take any pricing page at its word. Send a photo of your bestselling decor item and we will build you one true-to-size AR model free. Place it in your own room, check it against the real item, and decide with the thing in front of you. If it does not convince you, you have spent nothing.
