Let’s find you an amazing pair. Some features in this app incorporate Apple's TrueDepth API. In order to use these features, users must agree to Warby Parker’s terms and conditions of use. Warby Parker's TrueDepth features look at multiple data points on the user’s face only while they are interacting with the tool. We do not save or store any face scan data for any user or share with any third-parties. • For Virtual Try-On and Find your width, the terms are: “By tapping ‘Okay,’ you agree to give us access to your camera and to measure your facial features. (FYI: We won’t store or share these measurements – and will only collect and use them while you are using the [tool].)” * For our Digital PD tool, we ask the user to opt-in for a second time: “By tapping ‘Okay,’ you agree to give us access to your camera and to measure your facial features. (FYI: We won’t store your pupillary distance (PD) measurement without your permission–and will only collect it while you are using the PD tool.).” Once a user agrees, we measure their “Pupillary Distance." Once we have a measurement, users can choose if they’d like to update and store this measurement with their Warby Parker glasses prescription details. If they choose to add this data to their prescription, the pupillary distance measurement is added to their Warby Parker glasses prescription details and not shared with any third-party. If they choose not to add these data to their existing Warby Parker prescription, we do not store these data or share with any third-parties.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FlashDash at none against Warby Parker's shown. FlashDash also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
