Berify vs Google Lens

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.

Google Lens is a visual search tool that works from a camera, image or screenshot. It can identify plants and animals, and provide information about artwork, murals and landmarks. For shopping, Lens can find a pictured item's maker, price and sellers, with refinements for patterns, colors and sizes. It can translate text in over 100 languages and copy text to a phone or computer. In the Google app, users can ask questions about what they see and find homework explainers, videos and web results across subjects including math, history, chemistry, biology and physics. Lens in desktop Chrome lets users select web content, search it and ask questions without leaving the tab. That page-search feature requires Google as the default search engine; Google says it sends a screenshot and page data when used. Lens is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows, and is listed as free.
