Looking for the best Warby Parker alternatives? We tested out some of the most popular glasses home try-on services available right now.

I just discovered I’m getting older (but not less fashionable). After an hour of looking at distant objects with one eye closed, I realized I need glasses.

Does one go outside and look for glasses, though? Of course not. This is the 21st century – glasses come to us now!

Naturally, I went to the first site many of us think of for home try-on services: Warby Parker.

But after striking out twice, I needed more options. Well, I’m here to say there are some great Warby Parker alternatives out there.

I tried four different home try-on services. In this article, I’ll break down what I liked, what I didn’t like, and tip you off to a few other great companies that can help you find the perfect frames from the comfort of your couch.

They offer three price tiers: $79, $99, and $129, so you can find a stylish set of frames on any budget.

What I Liked

Liingo sent me five frames to try on. This is the sweet spot. You never know if you’re getting the right frames from screenshots so seeing a wide variety in-person is great.

Every company featured came in easy-return boxes, but Liingo wins the “easiest to send back” award. They’ve already attached the return label. Just tear off the shipping label to reveal it. Genius, I say!

What I Didn’t Like

Liingo doesn’t send their frames with test lenses. They say it’s so you can “take sweet selfies.” Problem is, the lenses are a crucial part of the overall look of a pair of glasses. Selfies or not, I didn’t have a true idea of how these frames would look on my face.

Is Liingo For You?

A large variety of frames in a range of price points. My favorite style from all seventeen frames I tried came from Liingo.
