Indyx vs Stylebook: Digital Closet Apps Compared

Short answer: pick Stylebook if you're on iPhone, want to pay $4.99 once and never see a subscription, and like building outfits as collages. Pick Indyx if you're on Android, want the closet for free, or might want a human stylist later. Indyx is also quicker to fill, since it takes shopping receipts and product links. If we had to choose one for most people today, we'd start with Indyx, because Stylebook hasn't shipped an update since June 2025.

Neither app is ours. We make TryAnyOutfit, a try-on app, and there's a short section near the end for when you want to see a new piece on your own photo.

Two closets on two phones. The difference is in how you pay and who helps.

Where Stylebook wins

You pay once. Stylebook's FAQ says it's a one-time $4.99 charge in the US and not a subscription, and the App Store lists no in-app purchases. Over a year, that's the cheapest paid option here by a long way.

It's also an old, deep app. Stylebook launched in 2009 and lists more than 90 features. Outfits go on a free-form canvas where you layer and resize pieces like a magazine page. Outfit Shuffle deals your closet out like a deck of cards when you're short on ideas. The stats go beyond cost per wear to what you wear most and least, and an inspiration library keeps saved looks outside any feed.

Adding clothes doesn't require photos. The FAQ lists five ways to skip the camera. You can clip images from store websites or pick from a built-in catalog. Batch import from an album works too. Or type a description and let the app generate the item image, if your iPhone has Apple Intelligence. Imported photos get their backgrounds cut out automatically, even in a big batch.

Your data stays with you. Stylebook says your closet lives on your device and in iCloud if you turn sync on, and that the company can't see it and doesn't sell it. Sync works between iPhone and iPad. The app comes in English and five more languages, and there's a separate Stylebook Men app at the same price.

The catch is the calendar on the update history. Version 10.1 shipped on June 15, 2025, and nothing since, even though the FAQ says the app is still in development. It's a small, family-run company. Nothing suggests the app is going away, but we'd rather you know before you spend a weekend loading a closet into it. And there's no Android version: the FAQ says the team is focusing on iOS.

Where Indyx wins

It's free where it counts. On the free plan, items, outfits and capsules are unlimited. So are packing lists. The wear calendar and cost-per-wear sorting are free too. Insider costs $12.99 a month or $74.99 a year. It adds the analytics dashboard and nicer flat lays, and it brings Virtual Selfies, which preview a look on a real photo of you.

Getting a closet in is faster. Indyx takes messy hanger shots and turns them into clean images, and AI tags the category and color. You can also forward shopping receipts or paste product links. Indyx's own estimate is about two minutes per item, or six to eight hours for an average wardrobe. If that's too much, its Catalog service sends someone to your home to photograph everything, in select US metro areas.

There are people behind it. A Lookbook starts at $150 for ten outfits styled from your closet, with up to six new pieces suggested if you want them. The Lookbook Mini starts at $60 for three outfits. With Insider, friends and other Indyx users can style your closet too. Anyone can browse other people's Open Closets. Your own closet stays private until you open it.

It's on Android, where it has 4.4 stars from about 1,300 reviews and more than 100,000 downloads. The iPhone app was updated on October 20, 2026. It's English-only.

Both apps build a packing list from planned outfits. Indyx does it through Collections, Stylebook through its packing lists.

Indyx vs Stylebook on price

Stylebook costs $4.99 and that's it. Indyx costs nothing unless you want Insider or a stylist. If you'd pay for Insider, the yearly plan ($74.99) is about half the price of twelve months at $12.99 ($155.88).

A year of each option at US App Store prices. Stylists are extra.

So the money question is really about features. If you'd use Indyx's free plan as it is, it beats Stylebook on price. If you want Stylebook's canvas and stats, $4.99 is less than one month of Insider.

If you want to see the clothes on you

Both apps work with clothes you already own. Indyx's Virtual Selfies preview a look on your photo, for Insider members. Stylebook doesn't list anything similar.

TryAnyOutfit starts from the other end: a piece you haven't bought yet. Upload a clear photo of yourself and any outfit image, including a store screenshot, and you get a preview of you wearing it. It also keeps a digital wardrobe with an outfit calendar. It runs on iPhone and Android and in the web studio. Each try-on uses one credit: packs are 5 for $2.99, 15 for $4.99 or 30 for $8.99, and plans are 20 try-ons for $7.99 a week or 50 for $14.99 a month. Setup and the Style quiz and Wardrobe quiz are free.

A preview shows the look. It doesn't measure fit or choose a size, so check the retailer's size chart.

Which should you pick?

Pick Stylebook if you're on iPhone and hate subscriptions. It suits people who enjoy styling outfits by hand on a canvas, as long as you can live with no updates since mid-2025.

Pick Indyx if you're on Android, want a free closet that fills up quickly from receipts and links, or want a real stylist to work with what you own.
