This is the Face Age blog, so read our column with that in mind. Competitor facts come from public Shopify App Store listings and official pricing pages, checked November 8, 2026. Apps change plans often, so open the live listing before you install anything.
A scan that reads visible skin concerns is a different input from a quiz. Not a medical diagnosis; does not replace a dermatologist.
Key terms
- Quiz builder: a tool for building question flows that end in product recommendations.
- Engagement / quiz taker: how Quiz Kit and Lantern count usage for billing. They are not the same unit.
- Skin analysis: an AI reading of visible skin concerns from a photo. For Face Age, that reading is cosmetic.
- Logic jumps: rules that hide, show or skip questions based on earlier answers.
- Catalog matching: connecting recommended products to your own Shopify catalog.

Quiz Kit: what the public pages say
Quiz Kit (developer Presidio) is listed on the Shopify App Store as a product recommendation quiz builder and calls out a skin quiz or skincare quiz as a typical use. The listing describes AI results (you write what to recommend in plain language and the app builds results), an AI Shopping Assistant, logic branching, email capture, analytics and A/B testing.
Pricing on the App Store listing, checked November 8, 2026, shows a Free plan for development stores and Scale at $59 per month with a 10-day free trial. Scale lists AI-driven quiz generation, post-quiz personalization, tracking, flexible quiz logic, integrations, A/B testing, unlimited quizzes and CSS/JS control.
Quiz Kit's homepage and Pricing and plans (both checked November 8, 2026) describe one Scale plan billed on monthly engagements across quizzes, the AI Shopping Assistant and AI results pages. An engagement is counted on a shopper's first click to start a quiz, or when an AI results page loads. Published tiers start at $59 for up to 500 engagements and climb with volume; the published table goes as high as $4,499. After the first bill, the help page says the tier rises automatically if you pass a threshold and does not drop on its own; you contact support to discuss a lower tier.
Fits best when: you want a question-based product finder with A/B testing and CSS/JS control, and you can forecast monthly engagements.
Watch for: costs follow traffic, including AI results page loads, so do not assume $59 is the ongoing price. The listing does not describe a photo skin analysis.
Lantern: what the public pages say
Lantern Product Quiz Builder (developer App Attic) positions itself as an on-brand product quiz you can build from templates or by chatting with an AI through the Lantern MCP (the listing names Claude and ChatGPT). Quizzes can run in-store, standalone, as a popup or embedded. Answers can change the next question through logic jumps or skip/show rules. Public pages list email and phone capture, Shopify customer sync, Klaviyo, Omnisend, Google Analytics, Zapier and more than 30 integrations, plus A/B testing.
Pricing on the App Store listing, checked November 8, 2026: Free up to 50 quiz takers with access to all listed features; Scale from $39 per month, described as growing up to $399 depending on quiz-taker volume (up to 10,000); and Unlimited at $499 per month, with a personal account manager and a dedicated Slack channel. Paid plans list a 7-day free trial.
Lantern's own pricing page (checked November 8, 2026) defines a quiz taker as someone who answered at least one question, not someone who only opened the quiz. Published monthly prices start free up to 50 quiz takers, then $39 up to 500, and step up to $399 at 10,000. The page says the tier moves up or down automatically with usage. It also lists translations and multilingual quizzes, custom CSS/HTML/JS, and email tools including Klaviyo, Omnisend and Mailchimp.
Fits best when: you want every feature on the free tier while you test, or you want MCP-based quiz editing and a quiz-taker definition that ignores mere opens.
Watch for: at higher traffic the Scale ladder climbs quickly toward $399, then $499 for unlimited. Like Quiz Kit, the public pages describe a question-based quiz, not a photo skin analysis.
Face Age: what you get
Face Age started as an AI skin analysis app, and the quiz builder sits around the scan. A shopper answers your questions, takes or uploads one photo, and sees analyzed concerns, badges such as Skin Age, and products from your own catalog. Not a medical diagnosis; does not replace a dermatologist.
The quiz uses sections with conditional hide logic and seven element types: Title, Paragraph, Text Box, Email, Image, Select and Multi Select. You can show questions before the analysis or just before results. See the quiz builder page and how to build a skincare quiz on Shopify.
In Connect products, each item can match a concern and severity from the scan, then get extra conditions from quiz answers. Exclusions take priority, so a fragrance-heavy toner can stay hidden from anyone who reported a fragrance allergy. The matching rules are spelled out in how AI skin analysis picks products.
Shopify pricing is Start $59, Plus $129, Growth $249 and Scale $499 per month, with a 7-day trial. The quiz builder, skin analysis and multi-language support are on every plan. Plus adds analysis history, two-scan comparison, PDF reports, the routine generator and Klaviyo and Mailchimp integrations. Full plan notes are on pricing.
Fits best when: skincare is most of the catalog and you want photo-based matches plus a quiz in one app.
Watch for: Klaviyo and Mailchimp need Plus, so budget from $129 if you need those connections. A photo step is a bigger ask than a click-through quiz, so place it where shoppers are already engaged. See Shopify skin analyzer placement.
How to pick among these three
A dedicated quiz builder fits a mixed catalog, where answers about budget, scent, allergies or texture are enough. Quiz Kit and Lantern both do that job.
A scan-plus-quiz tool fits when the hard part is the skin itself. People misjudge oiliness and describe dryness that a photo does not show the same way. Face Age is built for that case.

A fair test on your own store
Listings are a starting point. Run the same short test in each trial:
- Pick five products you know well and write who each one is for, including anyone who should never see it.
- Rebuild a short quiz with the same questions in each app.
- Take each quiz as three different shopper profiles you invent (do not use a real customer's photo in a competitor's trial unless that is allowed).
- Check whether the recommended products match your notes, and whether exclusions held.
- Price the month using each app's own unit at your current traffic: Quiz Kit engagements, Lantern quiz takers, or a Face Age plan.
