Ayna vs MODA AI for Shopify and Myntra Catalogs
Myntra wants five images of a product, all on the same model. Ayna gave us three, on three different men.
Updated August 2, 2026 · Verified against Ayna’s free trial, pricing page and docs · 9 min read
Same polo, same job, both tools
So we gave both tools the same product and the same job: get one striped polo ready to list on Myntra. Two photographs of the garment on a hanger went in. Everything that came out is on this page, at full size, including the frames we would rather not show.
The job
What a Myntra apparel listing is asked for
Seller guidance for Myntra apparel describes five images, in order, on a gender matched live model, 3:4 portrait, at least 1080 by 1440. The second image is the one that decides this comparison. It has to be the model from the first image, photographed from behind. Not another model who looks similar. The same person.
| Image | Ayna | MODA AI |
|---|---|---|
| 1Front, full length, live model | Delivered, and it is good | Shot 1 |
| 2Back, the same model turned around | A different man | Shots 4 and 8 |
| 3Three quarter, around 45 degrees | A different man again | Shot 2 |
| 4Fabric detail macro | Another run, another 10 credits | Shot 10, the weave and the laurel |
| 5Styled full length look | Another run, another 10 credits | Shots 5 and 7 |
Myntra’s published figures vary between sources, so check your own seller portal before you push a few hundred listings. Our full breakdown across twelve marketplaces is in the marketplace image requirements guide.
What went in
One polo, on a hanger, on a wall
A navy pique polo with tan and pale blue stripes and an embroidered laurel on the chest. Photographed on a wooden hanger against a plain wall, front and back, the way most Indian sellers already shoot before a listing goes up. Both tools got the same two files. If you work from hanger shots, this is your starting point.
Front
Back
Image one
The front, where Ayna is genuinely good
Stripe pitch, the pique texture, the collar roll, the embroidered laurel. Ayna held all of it, put the polo on a plausible Indian model in a warm green room, and did it in one run. If a front image were the whole job, this comparison would end here.
Ayna
One run, 10 credits
Ayna trial output, August 2026, reproduced for comparison. Watermark is theirs.
MODA AI
One run, 1 credit, ten shots
MODA output from the same two hanger photographs plus a face reference. One of ten.
Images two and three
Then the model changed
Ayna generates shot by shot. One image per run, ten credits a time. So the three quarter and the back are two more runs, and we made them the way anyone would: same garment, same gallery model, same settings. Here are the three frames.
Run 1, front
Run 2, three quarter
Run 3, back
Look at the faces on their own and it stops being subtle.
Ayna, three runs
Run 1
Run 2
Run 3
Three men. Moustache, then none. Rounder jaw, then narrower. Different hair, different nose.
MODA AI, the same run
Shot 2
Shot 3
Shot 7
One man, held by a face reference across all ten frames.
We picked that Ayna model from their gallery rather than leaving it on auto, which is the part worth sitting with. This is not a settings mistake you can correct. Each run is its own generation, and the identity does not carry from one to the next. Ayna’s own docs describe custom models as a way to keep results consistent across campaigns rather than identical from frame to frame, which matches what we saw.
For a Myntra listing that is the whole ballgame. Image two is the same model turned around. Three good photographs of three different men are not a set, however good each one is on its own.
The trial
Nothing from the free tier is listable
Ayna gives you 120 credits free, which is twelve images at 2K. All of them come back with the Ayna wordmark and aperture logo tiled across the whole frame, over the model’s face and, in our case, sitting directly on top of the brand’s own embroidered laurel.

This is deliberate, not a fault: their pricing page lists brand safe output with no watermark as a feature you buy on the Silver plan. It is a fair way to run a trial, and worth knowing before you spend an afternoon on it. MODA gives two free credits, which is twenty shots, clean and commercially usable from the first one.
Images four and five
The detail macro, the styled look, and the one Amazon wants
The last two Myntra images are a fabric macro and a styled full length. Both arrive in the same MODA run, and so does a garment only shot on white, which is what Amazon and Flipkart require and what Myntra does not want as a primary. On Ayna each of these is another run at another ten credits.
Image 4, fabric detail
The pique weave, the stripe edges and the laurel
Image 5, styled look
Full length, seated, belt and watch
For Amazon and Flipkart
Garment only, on white
What came back
All ten, from one credit
One man across every frame, one city, one styling. Five of these cover the Myntra images, one covers Amazon and Flipkart, and the rest are there because a product page converts better with them.
Front, full length

Back, full length

The same ten on Ayna would be ten runs and 100 credits, and the face would not survive the first change of angle.
Which tool
Choose Ayna if / Choose MODA if
Choose Ayna if
- You want the widest model and background library, and 340+ accessories to style with.
- You want listing titles and descriptions written for you, which MODA does not do.
- You are publishing in bulk across Myntra, Amazon and more, and want export presets.
- You catalogue steadily every month, where a rupee subscription works out cheaper per image.
Choose MODA if
- You need the front and the back to be the same person.
- You want the whole image set from one run rather than five.
- You want commercial output from the first free credit, with no watermark.
- You catalogue in bursts around drops and do not want a monthly floor.
Real world scenario
Forty styles onto Myntra before the season
Forty polos and shirts, all shot on hangers. Five images each, one house model across the lot, and a white packshot per style so the same catalogue can go to Amazon and Flipkart too.
| Step | MODA AI | Ayna |
|---|---|---|
| Runs to launch | 40, one per style | 200, one per image |
| Image 2, the back | Same model, from the same run | A fresh face on every run |
| One house model across 40 | Face reference, included | Not held between runs in our test |
| White packshot for Amazon | In the same 10 shot set | A separate run per style |
| Listing titles and copy | Write them yourself | Generated for you |
Flip it. Forty listings that also need titles, descriptions and a bulk push to three marketplaces, and Ayna does work we simply do not.
The eight differences that matter for an Indian catalogue
From Ayna’s free trial, its published pricing and its documentation, checked August 2026.
| MODA AI | Ayna | |
|---|---|---|
| Images per run | 10 shot set, angles decided before you start | One. Shot by shot, 10 credits per 2K image |
| One model across the set | Face reference holds it across all 10 | Gallery model did not survive the angle change |
| Trial output | 2 free credits, clean and commercial ready | 120 credits, 12 images, watermarked |
| Native aspect ratio | 3:4 at 1792x2400, no crop for Myntra or Ajio | 3:4, and marketplace export presets |
| Garment only packshot | In the same set, for Amazon and Flipkart | A separate run |
| Model and background library | Smaller gallery, plus your own references | 1000+ models, 500+ backgrounds, 340+ accessories |
| Listing copy | Not offered | AI written titles and descriptions |
| Billing | Per credit through Shopify, no subscription | Monthly plans in rupees, UPI and cards |
The money, honestly
Ayna is a monthly subscription in rupees. MODA is a credit you buy when you need it. Which works out cheaper depends entirely on how steadily you catalogue. Here are both, with the arithmetic shown.
Ayna
Monthly plans, 10 credits per 2K image
- Free: 120 credits, twelve images, watermarked
- Silver about ₹1,100 a month for 240 images at 2K
- Gold about ₹2,220 for 360 images, 4K and custom models
- Platinum about ₹22,500 for 1,800 images
- Roughly ₹4.60 an image on Silver if you use the full allowance
- Five images is 50 credits, so about ₹23 a product
- The allowance is monthly, so a quiet month is still billed
MODA AI
One credit, ten shots, no subscription
- Free: 2 credits, twenty shots, no watermark
- 1 credit is a full 10 shot set, 0.83 to 1.25 dollars
- Around ₹73 to ₹110 a product, all five images included
- Roughly ₹7 to ₹11 an image, higher than Ayna at volume
- Face reference and background reference included
- Ten second video for one more credit
- No subscription and no expiry, so an idle month costs nothing
So: a full Ayna plan every month is a lower rate per image, though only if you can also get a usable set out of it. If you catalogue in bursts around drops, the monthly floor is the thing that bites, and credits that never expire are worth more than the headline rate. Current numbers are on getayna.com/pricing; their Shopify app also sells one time image packs, which price differently again.
Credit where it is due
Where Ayna is the better pick
- The libraries. 1000+ models, 500+ backgrounds, 340+ accessories, 100+ templates. Nothing we have comes close on sheer choice, and if you want to browse rather than reference, that is the product.
- Listing copy. Titles and descriptions written for you. We do not do this at all, and on a 200 SKU push it is real hours.
- Bulk and marketplace presets. Bulk processing plus export presets for Myntra, Amazon, Macy’s and Zalando. A catalogue team pushing to several platforms at once will feel that.
- Billed for India. Rupee pricing, UPI payments.

What is Ayna?
A Bengaluru company, founded in 2023 by Aastha Rajpal and Yash Bansal, funded with a 1.5 million dollar seed led by Inflexor Ventures. It turns a flat lay, hanger or mannequin photo into on-model imagery, and it has grown well past that: 1000+ AI models, 500+ backgrounds, 340+ accessories, AI written titles and descriptions, video, bulk publishing, and export presets for Myntra, Amazon, Macy's and Zalando. Its Shopify app has been live since September 2025, and it bills in rupees over UPI.
How many images does Ayna return per run?
One. Generation is shot by shot, and each 2K image costs 10 credits. A Myntra apparel listing is generally expected to carry five images, so that is five separate runs and 50 credits for a single product. MODA returns a 10 shot set from one run for one credit.
Does Ayna keep the same model across angles?
It did not in our test, and that is the finding this page turns on. We chose a model from Ayna's gallery and generated a front, a three quarter and a back. Three visibly different men came back: different moustache, different jaw, different hair. Myntra asks for the back view to be the same model turned around, so a set like that is not submittable as a set, whatever the individual frames look like.
Does Ayna watermark its free output?
Yes. Our trial frames carry the Ayna wordmark and logo tiled across the whole image, including across the model's face and directly over the brand's own chest logo. That is by design rather than a fault: Ayna's pricing page lists brand safe output with no watermark as a paid plan feature. It does mean the free tier shows you the quality without giving you anything you can list.
What does a Myntra apparel listing actually need?
Seller guidance for Myntra apparel describes five images in order: a full length front on a live model, a back view of the same model turned around, a three quarter at roughly 45 degrees, a fabric detail macro, and a styled full length look. Images should be 3:4 portrait, at least 1080 by 1440, on a gender matched model. Myntra's own published figures vary between sources, so check your seller portal before pushing a few hundred listings.
Which is cheaper for an Indian seller?
It depends entirely on volume. Ayna's Silver plan is about 1,100 rupees a month for 240 images, which works out cheaper per image than MODA if you use the whole allowance every month. MODA has no subscription and no expiry: one credit is a 10 shot set at 0.83 to 1.25 dollars, so you pay per product rather than per month, and an idle month costs nothing. If you catalogue in bursts around drops, that difference matters more than the per image rate.
When is Ayna the better choice than MODA?
If you need the breadth. Ayna's model and background libraries are far larger than ours, it writes listing titles and descriptions which we do not do at all, it makes video, it bulk publishes, and it ships marketplace export presets. If you are running a large Indian catalogue operation across several marketplaces and want one tool for imagery and copy, that is a real argument. MODA does one thing: a full image set per product with the model held across it.
The verdict
Ayna makes good pictures. A Myntra listing needs them to be of the same person.
Ayna is a strong product with a bigger feature surface than ours, built by a team who know the Indian market, and its front image was good. The two things that stop it being a Myntra catalogue tool are structural rather than cosmetic. Generation is shot by shot, so five images is five runs and 50 credits. And the model does not carry between those runs, so the front, the three quarter and the back came back as three different men even with a gallery model chosen. Image two asks for the same model turned around. MODA returns all ten frames from one run with one face held across them, natively 3:4 at 1792 by 2400, plus the white packshot Amazon wants. If you need libraries, listing copy and bulk publishing, take Ayna. If you need the set to hold together, take MODA.
