CleanSpeak vs PicPurify

CleanSpeak is a configurable moderation toolset for services that need to filter or review user content. It filters text, images, and video, and can moderate audio but does not filter it. Moderation queues let teams review and escalate material, while custom rules can automate actions by content source, rate users, and trigger actions from those ratings. Editable blocklists detect negative terms and phrases, including altered forms intended to bypass filters. The product includes 22+ base language lists that customers can change or supplement. Tunable text, image, and video models integrate Google Perspective and SightEngine; reports cover moderator activity, content searches, and term or model frequencies. CleanSpeak is available as managed cloud service or as server software installed and maintained by customers. Its synchronous REST APIs return JSON for real-time integration across content filtering, moderation, and user management. The company says one server can filter 10,000 or more messages per second. It serves use cases in apps and gaming, retail and hospitality, and enterprise settings. The advertised trial lasts 30 days and requires no credit card; pricing is available on request.

PicPurify is a real-time image moderation API for detecting and filtering inappropriate user-generated images. Its listed checks include porn, suggestive nudity, gore, money, weapons, drugs, hate symbols, obscene gestures, and QR codes. The API can also detect faces and return age-majority and gender classifications. It accepts JPG/JPEG, WEBP, PNG, BMP, TIFF, RAW, PDF, ICO, and GIF files, up to 4096×4096 pixels or 16 MB. The image API limit is five requests per second, which the maker says can be increased on request for legitimate reasons. Each task on an image uses one unit, so running multiple checks on the same image uses multiple units. Video moderation analyzes frames individually; its default interval is one frame per second, and charges depend on video size and frame interval. PicPurify says it can create a tailor-made model for specific detection needs. Integration examples are available for cURL, Python, Node.js, and PHP. The free plan includes 2,000 units with no time limit. Paid plans start at $19 per month.
