# SightRadar

> SightRadar is a face recognition API for teams that need face search, verification and detection at scale, without AWS Rekognition's pricing.

## 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

## Use cases

- Event and wedding photographers delivering each guest's photos from one selfie
- Apps adding selfie-based identity verification (KYC, onboarding)
- Media libraries and DAMs tagging and searching people across archives
- Teams on AWS Rekognition cutting their face-API bill without rewriting code

## Pricing

- Free to start: trial credits, no card required
- Batch indexing: $0.00062 per photo
- Real-time: $0.00093 per photo
- Search by face ID: $0.00062; face storage $6 per million faces per month
- Billing: pay-as-you-go prepaid credits, no subscription, no auto-renewal, no minimums
