SightRadar

Face recognition API, Rekognition-compatible, pay per photo

SightRadar is a face recognition API for teams that need face search, verification and detection at scale, without AWS Rekognition's pricing. It is Rekognition-compatible: point the AWS SDK (boto3 and others) at SightRadar's endpoint and your existing code keeps working. What you get: - Face search: find one person across thousands of photos from a single selfie (event photos, media libraries, photo delivery) - 1:1 verification: compare two faces with a similarity threshold you choose - Face detection with confidence scores you can threshold on - Rekognition-compatible API: CreateCollection, IndexFaces, SearchFacesByImage, CompareFaces, DetectFaces and more - Photos with no faces return valid empty results, not errors - Per-photo billing, never per face: batch indexing from $0.00062 per photo, real-time $0.00093 per photo - Privacy by design: GDPR-ready with a Data Processing Agreement, face vectors isolated and encrypted per account, never used for model training - SDKs on npm and PyPI, plus a Rekognition shim for Python Free to start with trial credits, no credit card required. Pay-as-you-go prepaid credits, no subscription and no minimums.
