Why merchants switch
Spin Studio's reviews are mostly positive: 26 of its 28 reviews are 5 stars. Its 2 low reviews (1 star each, from 2022 and 2026) raise two themes:
- Spin data after uninstalling (1 review): spins were gone after the app was removed. The developer replied and offered to restore the data.
- Getting it to work (1 review): the app did not work for that store.
What ZS Spin View does about these, honestly: if a spin doesn't show, the app checks whether its app embed is on and keeps a banner up until it is, and we offer to set up your first spin for free. On uninstalling: like every Shopify app, ZS Spin View deletes a store's data when Shopify asks after an uninstall, so keep your original photos.
Switching? We set it up for you free
Send us the product and we build the 360° spin, add the viewer to your product page and check it on a phone. It usually takes us about a day. We work through a standard Shopify collaborator request: you approve it, never share a password, and can remove it any time.

When Spin Studio is the better choice
- You want a lower monthly price for many products and already have the photos: its Unlimited plan is $29.95/month.
- You want a 360° icon on the gallery thumbnail, which its listing highlights.
- You want a long track record. It launched on the App Store on 9 August 2012 and shows 4.6 from 28 reviews; ZS Spin View launched in May 2026 and has 1 review.
- You only need a spin on one product: its free plan covers one product.
When ZS Spin View is the better choice
- Three ways to make a spin in one app: a photo set (up to 120 frames), a phone video (MP4 or MOV under 90 seconds, 24–72 frames), or one product photo with AI.
- AI builds a real 3D model (GLB) and renders a 36-frame spin from it. On paid plans you can also add that model to the product for Shopify's "View in your space" AR.
- Selling features in the viewer: a spin per colour variant, hotspots, pinch / zoom, extra views as tabs, and hover spins on collection cards.
- Re-use the spin: export it as an MP4, Instagram Reel, square post or GIF (1080p on paid plans, 720p with a small badge on Free).
- Spin ROI dashboard: add-to-cart rate for products with a spin vs without, a 30-day trend and top products.
- Works inside PageFly and GemPages pages (tested), and fires a Shopify Flow trigger when a spin is published.
- A free plan for real spins from photos or video.
