What On-Model by PiktID does well
On-Model is built around garment preservation and catalog work. It does flat lay to on-model, packshots, model swap, garment recolour and detail repair in batches, builds your own model from one frontal photo on Pro, adds managed review and retouch on Pro, and marks every image for the EU AI Act in a machine-readable way. It also has a free tier that does not expire.

How this was checked
Every claim in the right-hand column was read off the competitor’s own public pages on 2026-10-07. Products change; if you find something out of date here, tell us and we will correct it.
The differences that actually matter
A catalog against a feed
On-Model's tools are the ones a product page needs: a clean packshot, the same garment on a different model, a recolour for the next colourway, a repaired detail. AURA's are the ones a feed needs: the same person on every piece, a styled scene, a short clip and a price on the post. Most brands need one set more than the other.
Where the AI Act marking sits
On-Model writes machine-readable EU AI Act marking into every image. If you sell into the EU and want the tool to handle that, it counts in its favour. Either way the disclosure duty sits with you as the publisher.
Questions
- Does On-Model make video?
- Its site listed no video generation on 7 October 2026. AURA turns any finished photo into a 5, 8 or 12 second clip.
- Can I use my own model on On-Model?
- Yes, on the Pro plan. It says one frontal photo of your brand model is enough. The free and Basic plans use its AI models.
