What it is

Berify is a web service for finding online appearances of images, including possible unauthorized uses. It searches an index of over 800 million images and queries Google, Bing, Yandex, and TinEye. Its matching system looks for exact results and visually similar versions, including images that have been cropped, filtered, resized, or compressed. For video searches, Berify extracts key frames and searches those images across the same services. A free tier provides basic reverse image search; paid plans add automatic monitoring and priority processing. The 1,000 Images plan is $5.95 per month, and the 6,000 Images plan is $24.95 per month. Business costs $49.99 per month and includes API access, batch CSV search, up to five team seats, forensic PDF reports, and dedicated support with an SLA. Its reports can include source URLs, discovery dates, and visual similarity scores. Berify says uploaded images are temporarily stored for processing, then deleted, and are not added to a public database or shared with third parties. Unused searches do not roll over between monthly billing dates.

Berify in depth

Read the full write-up

Berify is a web-based source-finding service for people who need to track where their images appear online. It suits photographers, artists, and rights professionals who want recurring monitoring or evidence tools as well as one-off searches. Its broad matching and video-frame search are useful strengths, but monthly quotas that expire make plan choice consequential.

Overview

Berify searches its own index of more than 800 million images and queries Google, Bing, Yandex, and TinEye. It looks for exact matches and visually similar versions, including copies altered by cropping, filters, resizing, or compression. That combination gives image owners several avenues for locating possible unauthorized use; finding a match is a starting point for follow-up, not a substitute for resolving a rights dispute.

Berify says uploaded images are held temporarily for processing and then deleted, rather than added to a public database or shared with third parties. It says it complies with GDPR and provides rights to access, delete, and export user data. Stripe handles payments, and Berify says it does not see or store full card numbers.

Key features

Image and video matching

Altered-copy matching is more useful than exact-match lookup alone when an image has been modified before reuse. For video, Berify extracts key frames from an uploaded file and searches those frames across Google, Bing, Yandex, and TinEye. This extends discovery to imagery in video, though the search works through selected frames rather than describing a full-video matching process.

Monitoring and evidence

Paid plans include automatic monitoring and priority processing, which make them better suited to ongoing rights tracking than the free tier. Business adds timestamped PDF reports with source URLs, discovery dates, and visual similarity scores. Those details can support documentation, while the plan's API access can feed searches and results into case-management or client-reporting workflows.

Pricing

Berify has a free tier at free, with free searches and basic reverse image search. It is a sensible way to try the core lookup, but the paid plans add larger monthly allowances and monitoring; unused searches do not roll over at the monthly billing boundary.

Free tier: free.

1000 Images: $5.95 a month, billed monthly, for 1000 images. This is the least expensive paid plan and suits lighter recurring needs, but it offers less monthly capacity than the 6000 Images plan.

6000 Images: $24.95 a month, billed monthly, for 6000 images. It fits heavier search workloads at a larger allowance; unused searches still expire rather than carrying forward.

Business: $49.99 a month for 5,000 search tokens per month, full API access, up to 5 team seats, batch CSV search, forensic PDF reports, and dedicated support with an SLA. It is the clear fit for teams or professional workflows that need reporting, integrations, and defined support; the token allowance is expressed differently from the image counts on the other paid plans.

Check the allowance that matches your intended workload before choosing a monthly plan, since searches do not roll over.

Platforms

Berify runs on the web. That makes it a browser-based option rather than a stated desktop or mobile app.

Who it's for

Photographers, stock photo contributors, digital artists, models, and content creators can use Berify to look for appearances of their work. Copyright attorneys and brand managers may find the Business plan's timestamped reports, API, team seats, and SLA support more relevant than the basic search tiers. It is less compelling for someone who needs only occasional free lookups or a quota that can accumulate month to month.

Pros and cons

Pro: Searches an index of over 800 million images alongside four named search services, broadening the routes available for finding an image.

Pro: Matching includes visually altered copies, and video search checks extracted key frames, extending its use beyond exact still-image matches.

Pro: Business combines five seats, batch CSV search, API access, timestamped forensic reports, and dedicated SLA support for coordinated professional work.

Con: Monthly searches expire at the billing boundary, so uneven workloads can leave paid capacity unused.

Con: Berify is web-only, and Business is the plan with the stated evidence reports and full API access.

Verdict

Choose Berify if you need to locate image use across multiple search services, track altered copies, or bring monitoring and evidence into a professional workflow. Business is the strongest fit for teams that need reports, API integration, and support; lighter users can start free or pay for a smaller image allowance. Look elsewhere if you need unused monthly searches to carry forward, a non-web platform, or a clearly stated free quota before committing.

Verdict

Berify combines image matching across several search services with video frame search and paid monitoring options. Check monthly search allowances carefully, since unused searches expire at the billing boundary.
