Nouva Alternative: How Clad9 Compares
Nouva does one thing well: AI outfit generation scored for color harmony. Clad9 goes further — pairing that same color and combination logic with body shape and your actual calendar, in one connected system instead of a single-purpose app. Here's how the two stack up.
Side by side
Feature by feature

|---|---|---|
| Color-pairing logic | Harmony score on generated outfits | Checked in every look |
| Outfit-combination logic | AI-generated from your wardrobe | Three looks a request from your own closet, any piece swappable |
| Calendar-aware daily outfit | Not offered | Every event dressed for its dress code and its weather |
| See it on you | Not on its site | Your avatar wears the day's three looks, every morning |
| Skin tone and colour analysis | Harmony scores for outfits, not your colouring | Skin tone, undertone and seasonal palette from a portrait, in every look |
| Styled for your body shape | Not on its site | Cuts, lengths and silhouettes chosen for your proportions |
| In-store buy/skip scan | Live — Shop Scan | Before you buy, see what a new piece would work with in your closet |
| Entry plan | Free: 30 items, 3 AI outfits a week | Essential: 60 pieces growing to 150, 5 styling requests a day |
| Cost to start | Free tier, then $9.99/mo Plus | Essential, $15/mo or $150/yr |
Atelier
The whole studio, on you.
Nouva scores how an outfit's colours work together. It doesn't read yours, or show the look on you.
With Clad9, each morning your avatar wears the day's three looks, already chosen for your skin tone, your palette and your silhouette, for the weather and your calendar, from clothes that aren't in the wash.
- See every look on you Your avatar wears each of the day's three looks, so you choose on yourself, not on a table.
- Your colours and undertone Skin tone, undertone and seasonal palette, read from a portrait and applied to every look.
- Styled for your silhouette Cuts, lengths and proportions chosen for how you're built.
- Dressed for your actual day The forecast, your calendar and the laundry basket, in every look.
- Every piece in its best light A studio image of every piece you add, included.
- It knows what you wore A quick fit check logs each piece, and the laundry basket keeps itself.
- Capsules and packing A capsule from what you own, and a day-by-day list for any trip.
- Ask the assistant you use Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini can search your closet and ask for a look.
Why Clad9 Goes Further
Nouva's color-harmony scoring is a real, useful mechanic, and Shop Scan is a clever way to stop impulse buys — credit where it's due. But it stops at color and category. Clad9 applies that same rigor on color and outfit combinations to every look it plans, and adds the two dimensions Nouva never touches: your body's actual proportions and what's really on your calendar.
The difference isn't a longer feature list — it's a different unit of recommendation. Nouva scores an outfit in isolation. Clad9 hands you the one outfit that fits your shape, works with what's already in your closet, and matches what's actually on your schedule today.
And the entry plan goes further. Nouva's free tier stops at 30 items and 3 outfits a week; Clad9's Essential plan starts at 60 pieces, grows to 150, and answers 5 styling requests a day with 3 looks each, every piece studio-photographed.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does Nouva have a free plan?
Yes — Nouva's free tier includes up to 30 wardrobe items and 3 AI outfits per week, no credit card required. A $9.99/month Plus plan raises those limits.
Can I use Clad9 right now?
Yes. Essential is $15 a month: a closet of 60 pieces growing to 150, 5 styling requests a day with 3 looks each, and your calendar dressed 7 days ahead. The color-pairing and outfit-combination tools need no account at all.
