Quick answer
Choose Hathaura if you want every session to end in a finished 20+ page report under your own brand, with the client’s palette included. Choose Your Color Style if certification, a draping studio and a directory listing matter more to you than an automated report.

Trying Hathaura alongside your current tool
You don’t have to switch to compare. Run your next client through both: analyze them as you normally would, then run the same client in Hathaura and compare the season and the report your client would receive. Your first client report is free, and you can try a full session with a sample client first, without signing up.
