Lenso.ai vs Search by Image

Lenso.ai is an AI reverse image search service that finds people, places, duplicates, related images, and similar images from an uploaded picture. Users can refine searches with text keywords or a website domain, save results to collections, and receive email alerts for new matches. Results include source URLs, but the free account allows daily searches without letting users unlock results or view their sources. Starter includes 50 source-link unlocks and 10 alerts; Professional adds Research Mode, advanced filters, and DMCA Assist Mode. Research Mode can show up to 10,000 results for People and Duplicates. The Developer plan lists Face Search and Reverse Image Search APIs, with up to 5,000 API calls. Face search is available only in selected regions; Face Search API users must live in an eligible region and sign an agreement. Lenso.ai says uploaded images are not saved or shared and are not used for AI training. Paid plans are listed from $19.99/mo. The maker also says shared search links remain active for up to six hours after the last interaction.

Search by Image is a free website and browser extension for finding products from pictures or image links. Its artificial-intelligence visual recognition searches for similar images across AliExpress, Alibaba, Amazon, and eBay. You can upload a photo from a computer or mobile device, paste an image URL, or use an extension for Chrome, Edge, Opera, Firefox, Whale, or Yandex. In a browser, right-click an image and choose “Find product by image,” or enter its URL in the extension popup. The site also describes finding products shown in YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram videos by uploading a screenshot. It says shoppers can compare marketplace and online-store prices. The Free plan is free, covering the website and browser extensions. Results can fail when images are low quality, contain too many objects, or product servers are overloaded; cropping or trying another image may help.
