Freemium · $29/moModeration and AI-content detection APIs for images, video, text and audio
What is Sightengine?
Sightengine offers APIs that check user-uploaded images, videos, live streams, text and audio for nudity, violence, offensive content and spam. It also detects AI-generated images, video, speech and music, plus deepfakes and face swaps, which helps platforms that host user content.
Image moderation covers more than 150 classes, and text and QR codes inside pictures can be read and filtered too. Identity tools validate profile photos, estimate age groups and detect liveness spoofing, while visual search finds duplicate and near-duplicate media.
Pricing is by operation per month, with a free tier for testing and proofs of concept. Higher plans add larger video limits, live-stream and audio moderation, custom image search, geo-fencing and, on enterprise contracts, SLAs and a dedicated support engineer.
