SightRadar
FreemiumFace recognition API that is compatible with AWS Rekognition calls
What is SightRadar?
SightRadar is a developer API for detecting, indexing, searching and comparing faces, with confidence scores you can threshold. It copies the request and response shapes of AWS Rekognition, so teams can switch by pointing an existing SDK at a new endpoint.
Supported calls include IndexFaces, SearchFacesByImage and CompareFaces, which cover jobs like finding a person across event photos from one selfie or 1:1 identity verification. A real-time endpoint answers synchronously, while a cheaper batch endpoint accepts up to 1,000 photo URLs per call and returns results by webhook.
Billing is per photo rather than per face, with separate charges for searches against indexed faces and for storing face vectors. The company offers GDPR processor terms, supports subject access and deletion requests, and says customer data is not used for training.
