Published by PutTogether, which makes one of the apps priced below. No affiliate links, no paid placements. Every figure was read from the app's live US App Store listing on 24 September 2026; prices vary by region and change without notice, and the number in your App Store is the one that counts.
Scope: prices and what they buy. Which app is worth it is a different question, answered in Worth the Subscription and Every Digital Closet App in 2026, Ranked.
"Free" does four different jobs in this category, and the difference between them is worth more than most feature comparisons. An app can be free with no in-app purchases at all. It can be free until you hit an item cap. It can be free for storage while metering the AI. Or it can be free to download and useless until you subscribe. All four appear under the same word.
The second thing worth knowing is that a monthly price tells you nothing until you know what the month buys: storage, a chat window, a handful of try-on credits, or an outfit decided and drawn for you every morning. That column is the one the App Store does not show.
The full price table, September 2026

 Dressly | Trial only | $24.99 / $34.99; weekly $7.99 / $11.99 | $55.99 / $79.99 | Outfit scoring, shopping recommendations |
Three notes. App Store listings carry legacy and regional price points that never appear in the app's paywall, which is why Cladwell, Style DNA and Dressly show several monthly figures. PutTogether's tiers are wardrobe-size tiers, not feature tiers: $9.99 covers 25 pieces, $34.99 covers 200. And the weekly SKUs at the bottom of the table are worth reading twice, because $11.99 a week is $623 a year.
Which ones are actually free
Free with no in-app purchases: Alta and Springus. Alta launched in March 2025 on a no-IAP model funded by shopping recommendations, and as of September 2026 still lists no paid tier; its listing says it "surfaces shopping recommendations from both your favorite brands and new ones." That is the trade. Springus is free because it is one developer's app with 54 ratings and no monetisation yet; that is a different kind of trade, and its own.
Free for storage, metered for AI: Whering. Whering's FAQ calls the app "completely free to use." Cataloguing, outfit planning, the sustainability dashboard and resale routing all sit in the free product; AI actions cost credits from $2.99 for ten.
Free until a cap: Acloset and Pronti. Acloset's terms confirm all features are free to 100 items; Pronti to 30. For a small wardrobe both are free products in practice.
Free with the AI held back: Cladwell, Fits, Indyx, Pureple. Each gives you a catalogue and gates the intelligence. Fits is the most generous, with unlimited clothes, outfits and background removal in the free tier (Fits Help Center). Cladwell is the least, at five AI messages a month.
Not free: Stylebook, PutTogether, and the try-on apps. Stylebook is $4.99 once. PutTogether draws one avatar free during onboarding so you can see what you would be paying for, then subscribes. Aesty, Style DNA and Dressly are free to install and gated almost immediately.
What $9.99 a month buys
This is the column that decides the purchase, so here it is app by app at the $7.99–$14.99 band where most of the category lives.
Cladwell, $7.99. The morning decision: one capsule-safe flat-lay card, weather on top, accept or re-roll. Unlimited AI chat. No portrait, no written reason.
Fits Pro, $9.99. An AI stylist chat, outfit suggestions, 30 monthly AI credits for try-on and image enhancement, advanced stats.
PutTogether Mini, $9.99. A look composed from your own closet for that day's hourly weather, drawn on a watercolor portrait of you, with a two-sentence reason, generated at your wake-up time every morning whether or not you open the app. The daily look is not metered; the credit store lists it as included. Credits (300 on joining, 50 a month) are spent only on adding pieces (15 per garment from an outfit photo), re-rolling a look (18) or redrawing a sticker (14). Dress me, the trip planner with the packing list, costs nothing and allows three asks a day. Thirty drawn looks for $9.99 is 33 cents a look.
Indyx Insider, $12.99. Cost-per-wear analytics and community features; packing and cataloguing are free.
Pureple Premium, $14.99. AI suggestions, virtual try-on, ad-free use, cloud sync.
Above that band the products change shape. Style DNA at $19.99 leads with colour analysis from a selfie. Aesty at $19.99 and $29.99 renders outfits you find on Instagram or TikTok onto you. Dressly at $34.99 scores your outfits and recommends things to buy. None of them decides what you wear tomorrow from what you own.
A monthly price tells you nothing until you know what the month buys: storage, a chat window, a handful of try-on credits, or an outfit decided and drawn for you every morning.
The costs that aren't on the price tag
Credits. Whering meters AI actions. Fits Pro includes 30 credits. PutTogether meters adding pieces and re-rolls, not the daily look, so the sticker price is the ceiling for the morning and the floor for the closet. Aesty and DLOOK sell styling credits on top of subscriptions.
Your data. Alta is free because it recommends things to buy. Whering is free because resale is the business. Neither is hidden and neither is disqualifying, but a free app is being paid by someone. Stylebook's $4.99 buys software and nothing else. PutTogether's listing puts its own position in one line: "PutTogether isn't a shopping app. We never sell your data or push products."
Weekly billing. Dressly and DLOOK list weekly SKUs at $9.99–$11.99. Dressly's App Store reviews are full of people who did not notice. Read the paywall, not the download button.
Platform lock. Stylebook and PutTogether are Apple-only, and no app in this category exports a wardrobe another one imports. The cost of picking wrong is an evening of re-photography, which is worth more than most of the price differences above.
What $9.99 a month buys, in one paragraph
At $9.99 a month, PutTogether costs 33 cents per outfit: about thirty a month, each composed from clothes you already own for that day's hourly forecast, drawn on a watercolor portrait of you, with a two-sentence reason underneath, generated at the wake-up time you chose and waiting on your lock screen. None of that is metered. Credits (300 on joining, 50 a month) are spent only on adding pieces and re-rolling a look. Dress me, the trip planner, costs nothing and builds a packing list from your own closet with five-year weather averages past the forecast. There is no shopping rail and no data sale: the subscription is the only revenue, which is why it exists. The trade is that it runs on iPhone only, has no annual plan, and offers one free avatar rather than a free tier, so you see the drawing before you pay and nothing after that without paying.
Against the filing cabinets it costs more, because it does a job they do not do. Against the AI-native apps launched since 2024 it costs half or less. Whether 33 cents a morning is worth it depends on how many mornings you spend deciding, and that is the only number in this article you have to supply yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Are closet apps free?
Some are. Alta and Springus list no in-app purchases. Whering is free for cataloguing with AI actions metered from $2.99. Acloset is free to 100 items, Pronti to 30. Cladwell, Fits, Indyx and Pureple have free tiers with the AI held back. Stylebook costs $4.99 once. PutTogether, Style DNA, Aesty and Dressly are subscription products with little or no free use.
How much does Whering cost?
Nothing to install and nothing to use for the core app; Whering's own FAQ describes it as "completely free to use." AI actions run on credits at 10 for $2.99, 50 for $7.99 or 100 for $12.99, plus a one-time $4.99 Outfit Maker. The former £9.99/month Premium tier was removed in 2025–2026.
What is the cheapest closet app?
Alta, Springus and Whering are free. Among paid apps Stylebook is cheapest at $4.99 once with no subscription. Among apps that decide your outfit for you, Cladwell at $7.99 a month is the lowest, and PutTogether at $9.99 is the lowest that draws the outfit on a portrait of you with a written reason.
How much is PutTogether?
Mini $9.99 a month for 25 pieces, Capsule $16.99 for 50, Classic $25.99 for 100, Atelier $34.99 for 200. The tiers are wardrobe-size tiers. Every tier includes a daily look drawn on your mini-you at your wake-up time, unmetered, and Dress me with three asks a day. Credits cover adding pieces and re-rolls: 300 on joining, then 50 a month on Mini. One avatar is generated free during onboarding so you can see the drawing before paying.
What is the most expensive closet app?
Dressly, at $34.99 a month or $11.99 a week on its listing. Aesty Max is $29.99 a month with a $249.99 annual plan. Style DNA and Aesty Pro are $19.99. PutTogether's top tier, Atelier, is $34.99 but covers a 200-piece closet; its entry tier is $9.99.
Is there a closet app with a one-time payment instead of a subscription?
Two. Stylebook is a $4.99 paid download with no subscription and no in-app purchases, and has been since 2009. Pronti offers a $124.99 lifetime purchase alongside its monthly tier. Every other app is free or recurring.
Do the free apps stay free?
There is no guarantee. Whering ran a £9.99 Premium tier as recently as 2024 and moved to free-with-credits, a change in the user's favour; changes can go the other way. Alta's free model depends on shopping revenue. Stylebook's $4.99 is the one price in this table that cannot be revised after you have committed a wardrobe to it.
