SightRadar

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
