FaceSearch vs Lenso.ai

Pick Lenso.ai if you want one subscription for faces, duplicates, places and copyright checks, with filters and an API, and face search is offered in your region. Pick FaceSearch if you only need faces, want to start without an account, or live somewhere Lenso's face category is switched off.

At a glance

Where Lenso.ai wins

• Breadth. One subscription covers faces, duplicate images, places, similar images and related images. FaceSearch only searches faces.
• Research Mode and filters. Professional adds up to 10,000 results for People and Duplicates and filters by language, domain, date, size and title keyword. FaceSearch's deep search widens the pass but has no filters.
• Alerts on every paid plan, up to 500 on Developer. FaceSearch has none.
• An API. The Developer plan includes Face Search and Reverse Image Search APIs. FaceSearch has no API.
• Copyright workflows. Duplicate search with original-source tracing is built for photographers and brands checking image reuse, a job FaceSearch does not do.
• Collections and sharing. Results can be saved into collections and shared by link.

Where FaceSearch wins

• Availability. FaceSearch's face search works in every region we serve. Lenso's own feature page says its face search is available only in selected regions, so for many people the comparison ends here.
• No account to start. Drop a photo on the search page and see ranked matches. Lenso needs an account for anything past a preview.
• Price of entry. $5 for a week with every source link unlocked, against a monthly subscription reported at $15.99.
• Face-first results. One category, ranked by face similarity, with the source page on every match. No switching between People, Similar and Related to find the relevant list.
• Apps on iOS and Android.
• Removal by email, with ID only for disputed claims.

Face search in your region

Lenso's face search page and home page both carry the note that the feature is available only in selected regions, without listing them. If you sign up and the People category is missing, that is why. FaceSearch does not restrict face search by region among the countries we operate in; our rules are about how you use it, not where you are, and they are on the acceptable use page. The legal guide explains why some engines switch face search off in some places.

Removal compared

Lenso's opt-out form takes one face photo and removes all matching images from its index, with a separate DMCA/DSA route for copyrighted images; its privacy page says requests are reviewed on business days, usually within 24 hours, and rarely rejected. FaceSearch's removal is by email to contact@facesearch.cc with a photo of your face; see remove my photos. Both are free, and both apply to that engine's results only. For a full exit from face search engines, the removal guide lists every engine.
