## 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.

## Overview

### Who is it for?

Developers and product teams adding face search, verification or detection to their apps

### Problem

Teams that need face search, verification or detection at scale run into high per-image API bills, and switching providers usually means rewriting integration code.

### Solution

SightRadar is a Rekognition-compatible face recognition API with the same request and response shapes (CreateCollection, IndexFaces, SearchFacesByImage, CompareFaces, DetectFaces), so you migrate by changing the endpoint URL. Index, search, compare and detect faces, billed per photo with no subscription or minimums.

### What makes it unique

Drop-in AWS Rekognition compatibility (point boto3 or another AWS SDK at our endpoint), per-photo billing that is never per face (batch from $0.00062 per photo), valid empty results for photos with no faces, and privacy by design: GDPR-ready with a DPA, face vectors isolated and encrypted per account and never used for model training.
