Full colophon for sightradar.com

A face recognition API that indexes, searches, compares and detects faces. Compatible with AWS Rekognition SDKs, priced lower per photo processed.

The story so far

Screenshot of the SightRadar homepage
Homepage of SightRadar

SightRadar is a production-grade face recognition API that lets developers index faces from photos, search for a person across thousands of images from a single selfie, verify identity through face comparison, and detect faces without storage. It uses the same request and response formats as AWS Rekognition, so you can migrate by changing just one endpoint URL in your existing code. Pricing is pay-as-you-go, billed per photo processed at $0.00093 for real-time and $0.00062 for batch indexing, well below AWS rates. The service handles multiple image formats, isolates data per account with encryption in transit, never trains on customer data, and is built for lawful, consented use.

Questions and answers

How do I migrate from AWS Rekognition?

You do not need to rewrite your code. SightRadar uses the same request and response shapes as AWS Rekognition, so you keep the AWS SDK you already use and set one endpoint_url. Your existing IndexFaces, SearchFacesByImage, and CompareFaces calls keep working.

Is my data used for training?

No. SightRadar processes your data only to return your results. The service does not pool data with other accounts, does not use it to train general-purpose models, and never sells it. Detect and compare operations process images in memory without persisting them, and indexed faces live in collections you can delete any time.

What does it cost?

Pricing is pay-as-you-go with no subscription or minimum usage. Real-time index is $0.00093 per photo, batch index is $0.00062 per photo, and search by face ID is $0.00062 per search. Stored faces cost $6 per million per month. Paid top-ups start at $10. Compare operations take two images and are charged for both ($0.00186 for a two-image comparison).

Is it GDPR/BIPA compliant?

Compliance with GDPR and BIPA is a shared responsibility. SightRadar is built to support lawful, consented use: you are the data controller, SightRadar acts as your processor, data is isolated per tenant and encrypted in transit, you control retention, and the service never trains on or sells your data. The Terms require a lawful basis and consent, and prohibit unlawful surveillance or covert tracking.

What is a faceprint?

A faceprint is a compact numeric summary of a face — the biometric template a recognition system compares. SightRadar stores it as an embedding (a vector of numbers), never as the original photo. Two images of the same person produce faceprints that land close together; different people land far apart. The original image cannot be reconstructed from the faceprint. A faceprint is sensitive biometric data, so generate one only with a lawful basis and, where required, consent.
