Which product variants app should I pick if my real problem is the images?

Rubik Variant Images is ours, built by Craftshift, and it assigns a separate image set to every variant so the gallery and the swatches both follow the option a shopper picks.

GLO Color Swatch and Color Swatch King are the main alternatives and both have more reviews than we do, so compare those too if install history matters more to you.
