FindLume vs Trooply Visual Search API

FindLume provides AI-powered search and shopping tools for online shops, through the web and an API. Shoppers can upload a photo to find products with similar color, style or shape. Search combines vector similarity with text relevance, and the product also includes autocomplete and product recommendations. Its shopping assistant uses a shop’s catalog and knowledge base to answer questions and suggest products. Merchants can pin, boost, bury or hide items in search results, with a real-time preview of rule changes. Analytics track searches, clicks, zero-result queries and conversion rates. FindLume lists Shopify, Magento, Shopware and any platform as supported, and is offered to businesses only. A free plan and 14-day trial are listed; paid plans start at €79/mo billed annually. Monthly quotas apply: when a quota is exhausted and there is no pack balance, requests of that type stop until the quota resets. Shopper data is processed on servers in Germany and, during catalog import, on the maker’s hardware in Bulgaria. The maker says website-specific models are not combined across merchants.

Trooply Visual Search API provides visual and text search for ecommerce product discovery. Queries can use an uploaded image, image URL, crop, multiple images, text, voice, or image combined with text. Results are reranked using visual similarity, product type, popularity, aspect ratio, color histogram, and category signals; queries can also be pre-filtered by category, price range, stock status, and custom fields. The service uses CLIP ViT-L/14 with 768-dimensional vectors and reports latency under 200 ms at the 95th percentile for catalogs up to 100,000 products. Listed stack options include Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace, and a custom API, alongside Python and JavaScript SDKs and a storefront widget. Each store has its own database and Qdrant vector collection. Uploaded shopper images are discarded after embedding, and raw images are not stored. The free plan costs nothing and includes 50 products and 1,000 API calls per month. Basic costs $24.99 a month, billed annually at $299.88; a 14-day Premium-feature trial is offered without a credit card.
