FaceCheck.ID vs ImageRights Discovery

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.

ImageRights Discovery searches for online uses of images and helps photographers review potential claims. It creates a distinct fingerprint for each uploaded image, then searches the internet for matching fingerprints. Its proprietary web search and AI analyze sightings, sort and rank them, and send claims considered pursuable to an Inbox for review and organization. The free ImageRights Pilot plan is listed at free and begins searching the first 100 images; the page does not state other Discovery plan prices or limits. For large collections, the service offers FTP and API access. Adobe Lightroom users can upload images to an ImageRights account and synchronize image sets and registration status through a plugin. A Capture One plugin uploads images for Discovery and is offered for Windows and Mac. ImageRights describes its services as serving photo agencies and professional photographers worldwide. Discovery is available on the web, macOS, and Windows, with API access. The page describes image uploads and management as secure.
