1. Whering — best free all-rounder
The core app is free with no subscription. Whering has a 100M-item database to add pieces fast, "Dress Me" outfit shuffles, a weather-matched Planner, packing lists, cost-per-wear tracking, a Chrome extension and social closets. Extras come as credit packs (10 for $2.99, 50 for $7.99, 100 for $12.99) and a $4.99 one-time Outfit Maker. Whering claims 9M+ users and rates 4.7 from 11,649 ratings on the US App Store. No iPad app.
Best for: people who want everything in one free app. Sources: Whering FAQ · App Store
2. Indyx — best for big closets and resale
Free with unlimited items. Insider membership is $12.99/month or $74.99/year; human stylist sessions start at $60. It doesn't auto-generate outfits. Wirecutter reviewed it.
Best for: large wardrobes, people who sell what they don't wear. Sources: UPeak comparison · Wirecutter review
3. Acloset — best freemium daily outfit ideas
Free for up to 100 items, with ads. Basic $3.99/month ($27.99/year), Premium $9.99 ($59.99/year), Expert $24.99 ($147.99/year). Weather-based daily outfits and a styling chat.
Best for: small-to-medium closets that want daily suggestions. Sources: PutTogether price guide · UPeak comparison
4. Alta — best free daily planner
Free with no in-app purchases; it earns from shopping recommendations. Daily outfits based on weather and your schedule, plus an avatar try-on.
Best for: people who want a fully free daily outfit plan and don't mind shopping suggestions. Sources: FitWardrobe roundup · Lanea comparison
5. Stylebook — best one-time purchase
$4.99 once. iPhone and iPad only. A deep, manual closet organiser — no outfit suggestions.
Best for: planners who like doing it themselves and hate subscriptions. Source: PutTogether price guide
6. Cladwell — best for capsule wardrobes
About $9.99/month or $79.99/year on the web. Built around capsule-style daily outfits.
Best for: people building a capsule wardrobe. Source: PutTogether price guide
7. Fits — best for a paid, polished closet
Fits Pro is $9.99/month or $59.99/year.
Best for: people happy to pay for a clean, organised closet experience. Sources: Nouva: Whering vs Fits · PutTogether price guide
8. Chic Stylist — best for turning your own pieces into a styled look
Add photos of your clothes, pick the pieces and the occasion, and Chic Stylist creates an outfit image built around them. Browse curated looks for work, dinner, weekends, travel and celebrations. Pull individual garments out of an outfit photo and save them to your wardrobe. Preview a look with virtual try-on. iPhone, iPad and Android.
Free to download. Chic Stylist Plus (US App Store): $8.99/week with 15 image credits a week, or $24.99/month / $179.99/year with 50 image credits a month.
Honest downsides: it's newer, so it doesn't have Whering's community or review count yet; image creation runs on paid credits; it doesn't advertise a weather planner or packing lists.
Best for: people who want to see the outfit before they wear it — and try a look on before they buy.
