Omi’s virtual photo studio:

no shoots, no limits

Omi’s virtual photo studio: total creative control

Soona’s model requires constant product shipping and pay-per-asset pricing. With Omi, you skip the shoot. Our Virtual Photo Studio lets you create unlimited content on demand — right in your browser. No repeat shipping, no per-asset fees, no delays.

Why is Omi a better alternative to Soona?

Soona falls short on scalability,

brand consistency, & creative control

Grip falls short on creative control, speed, & ownership

Soona’s shoot-based model was built for one-off needs, not for scaling operations. You pay per shoot, per product, per asset, with limited options for updates and agility. Creative direction is often managed by Soona’s in-house team, which complicates brand ownership and workflow efficiency.

Soona’s shoot-based model was built for one-off needs, not for scaling operations. You pay per shoot, per product, per asset, with limited options for updates and agility. Creative direction is often managed by Soona’s in-house team, which complicates brand ownership and workflow efficiency.

Pay-per-shoot limitations

Do you have continuous content needs or a wide product range? Paying per shoot and asset escalates the costs (quickly). Plus, needing frequent reshoots for mere tweaks compromises your ability to hit deadlines within budget.

Outdated physical workflow

Soona relies entirely on physical shoots. But to keep up with modern content demands, only virtual shoots from photorealistic 3D models offer speed plus quality.

Minimal brand control

Your visuals are produced within Soona’s creative direction framework. This means less input and brand standardization. The result? Either “one-size-fits-all” aesthetics, compromised consistency, or having to play catchup when you least need it.

Alternatively, Omi offers full scalability,

brand-level control, and creative freedom

Omi’s Virtual Photo Studio hyper-focuses on speed and quality at scale. Anyone on your team can drag-and-drop objects, arrange props, and tweak lighting and camera. This eliminates all logistics, post-production, external dependencies, and creative guesswork.
