Pixsy vs SearchReverseImage

Pixsy is an image-monitoring and licensing platform for creatives and image owners. Its reverse image search and AI monitoring look for online uses of submitted images around the clock and send email alerts when matches appear. Users can organize matches by country, category, commerciality, and other criteria, then filter the results. Pixsy can handle submitted cases through post-licensing and negotiation, with litigation potentially involving local legal partners; its stated fee is 50% on successful cases. It also says its takedown notices span more than 35 countries and 14 languages. Images can come from listed sync sources such as Flickr, SmugMug, Instagram, FTP, AWS S3, and the API, or be uploaded from Google Drive, Dropbox, or a computer. Pixsy describes itself as a software and image licensing company, not a law firm. The Free plan is free and monitors 500 images, with no takedown notices. Personal is $19 a month and monitors 2,000 images, with 20 monthly takedown notices. Web and API platforms are listed.

SearchReverseImage searches for images from an upload or pasted image URL, sending the request to Google Lens, Bing Visual Search, Yandex Images and TinEye in one workflow. Results can include visually similar images, pages containing the image, higher-resolution versions and original sources. It supports JPG/JPEG, PNG, WEBP and GIF files up to 4 MB. Searches are unlimited and require no registration; the service lists no watermarks or hidden fees. It works in a browser on any device without installing software, including through mobile browsers on iPhone and Android. The company says uploaded images are not permanently stored, viewed, analyzed, shared or sold, and are not tied to a user identity. Uploads are automatically deleted within approximately 60 minutes after temporary processing, and traffic and images are transmitted over HTTPS/TLS encryption. The terms prohibit automated scripts or bots from making bulk requests. The service is free and has no listed charge.
