SightRadar — Rekognition-compatible face recognition API: index, search, compare and detect faces, pay per photo.

About SightRadar

SightRadar is a face recognition API for teams that need face search, verification and detection at scale, without AWS Rekognition's pricing. It is Rekognition-compatible: point the AWS SDK (boto3 and others) at SightRadar's endpoint and your existing code keeps working.

What you get:

  • Face search: find one person across thousands of photos from a single selfie (event photos, media libraries, photo delivery)

  • 1:1 verification: compare two faces with a similarity threshold you choose

  • Face detection with confidence scores you can threshold on

  • Rekognition-compatible API: CreateCollection, IndexFaces, SearchFacesByImage, CompareFaces, DetectFaces and more

  • Photos with no faces return valid empty results, not errors

  • Per-photo billing, never per face: batch indexing from $0.00062 per photo, real-time $0.00093 per photo

  • Privacy by design: GDPR-ready with a Data Processing Agreement, face vectors isolated and encrypted per account, never used for model training

  • SDKs on npm and PyPI, plus a Rekognition shim for Python

Free to start with trial credits, no credit card required. Pay-as-you-go prepaid credits, no subscription and no minimums.

Who it is for
Developers and teams on AWS Rekognition, event photographers, and apps adding selfie-based identity verification.
Problem it solves
Teams that need face search, verification and detection at scale face high AWS Rekognition bills, and switching providers usually means rewriting integration code. Event and wedding photographers need to deliver each guest's photos from thousands of shots, and apps adding KYC or onboarding need reliable 1:1 face verification without building their own models.
The solution
SightRadar is a Rekognition-compatible face recognition API. Point the AWS SDK (boto3 and others) at SightRadar's endpoint and existing code keeps working. Index photos into collections, find one person across thousands of photos from a single selfie, compare two faces with a similarity threshold you choose, and detect faces with confidence scores. Photos with no faces return valid empty results, not errors. SDKs are on npm and PyPI, plus a Rekognition shim for Python.
What makes it unique
It is a drop-in replacement for AWS Rekognition: the same request and response shapes (CreateCollection, IndexFaces, SearchFacesByImage, CompareFaces, DetectFaces), so you migrate by changing the endpoint URL. Billing is per photo, never per face: batch indexing from $0.00062 per photo and real-time $0.00093 per photo, with no subscription or minimums. Privacy by design: GDPR-ready with a Data Processing Agreement, face vectors isolated and encrypted per account and never used for model training.

Starting price: From $0.00062 per photo, pay-as-you-go
