In their own words
Pixsy
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.
