Berify vs FaceCheck.ID

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.

FaceCheck.ID is an investigative search engine that accepts a face photo and returns links to public webpages containing the same or similar-looking people. Its stated uses include finding social profiles and appearances in blogs, videos, news, mugshot sites, and sex-offender websites. The service says its AI detects faces, measures similarity, and searches large data collections. Results receive scores from 0 to 100, grouped by colors from weak matches at 50–69 through certain matches at 90–100. Red flags may identify news, scam-reporting, mugshot, registry, most-wanted, or detected AI-generated-face sources. Access is provided through the web, a REST API, and a Chrome extension; examples cover Python, C#, Node.js, TypeScript, Java, C++, Kotlin, and Rust. Search images are not added to the database, history is deleted within 24 hours, and IP addresses and HTTP access are not logged. The service warns similarity is not identity determination and bans credit, employment, insurance, and tenant-screening decisions.
