Megu vs Alta Daily: Two AI Stylists, Two Ideas
Alta and Megu are the two apps here that both re-render your photos and both dress you with AI. The difference is temperament: Alta is a broad, social platform; Megu is a single-purpose tool.
What Alta is
Alta Daily is listed as free on the US App Store, with no in-app purchases shown on the listing on the day we checked, and holds a 4.9 rating from about 14,000 reviews. Its site promises "Snap a photo, get a studio-quality image." It generates outfits from your closet, lifestyle, budget and the weather, includes virtual try-on, has a social side, and has been featured widely in the fashion press. iPhone and Android.
What Megu is
Megu makes a narrower promise and keeps it every morning. AI Polish re-renders each piece as a studio shot from any angle, and a render that got a detail wrong is fixed by telling it what is off. The daily look is built for the hours you will be outdoors, the planner takes a sentence and lays out a week or a suitcase, the stylist answers a brief from your closet only, and try-on renders a look on your portrait. No feed, no shop, nothing to keep up with. iPhone only, iOS 18 or later, subscription with a free trial.

You want a free, full-featured AI closet with a community, you are on Android, or you want styling that factors in a budget for new pieces.

Open your closet.
Megu photographs your clothes, polishes each piece into a studio shot, and has a look ready before you are out of bed. iPhone, iOS 18 or later, with a free trial.
