These tools mostly don't compete: Photoroom is a general ecommerce photo ecosystem used across every product category; CatalogX is particularly focused on fashion catalog production and garment fidelity. The question is which job you're hiring for.

If your catalog spans electronics, cosmetics and homeware, or your core need is fast, excellent background removal and staging across thousands of images — with a mature mobile app and a low per-image API price — Photoroom's breadth and polish are the point, and CatalogX doesn't try to match them.
The moment the product has to be worn. On-model photography is where general tools have the least to offer and fashion buyers care the most: CatalogX measures the garment before generating, anchors proportions, reviews the output against your photo, and scales that through a catalog workflow built for apparel — including the ethnic-wear construction generic pipelines get wrong.

Plenty of sellers do: a general tool for non-apparel products and quick cutouts, CatalogX for everything that goes on a body. CatalogX also includes free background removal, shadows and unwrinkle for the flat product shots surrounding the on-model set.
Their models differ: Photoroom's verified plans were $20.99 (Max) and $82.50 (Ultra) per month with an API around $0.10/image; CatalogX runs $9.99–$149.99 with one credit per generated image and one-time packs. For on-model fashion imagery specifically, compare cost per usable listing image rather than sticker price.
