Detailed Comparison
What each tool does with a garment photo
PixFocal
Upload one photo of a garment, on a hanger, flat, on a mannequin or on a person. PixFocal detects the garment family, removes the body or mannequin, rebuilds the inside of the collar and cuffs, and returns the ghost mannequin front view. From the same upload you can add the back, 3/4 and side views, an on-model shot with the model and body type you choose, a flat-lay, a hanger shot, colorways and close-ups. You approve every image and can request an edit by note.
Pixelcut
Pixelcut is a general editing app used a lot by Poshmark, Depop and eBay sellers on a phone. Its clothing ghost mannequin generator takes a garment photo plus a short prompt and returns one image; its virtual try-on dresses a library model but currently covers tops only. Batch background removal, shadows and colour correction are in the same app. It is quick for one-off edits and less suited to a full catalog with several angles per garment.

PixFocal — $59/mo for 90 photos
Professional is $59/month for 90 credits, about $0.66 per 2K photo; Business is $149/month for 250 credits, about $0.60. A 4K export costs 2 credits. You start with 4 free photos at full resolution, no card and no watermark.
Pixelcut — Free, Pro $10/mo, Business $30/mo
