FaceSearch vs ProFaceFinder

ProFaceFinder makes sense if you want exactly one or two searches with no subscription at all and are happy to pay about $4 each. FaceSearch costs less per search from the first paid week, shows you a real first result before you pay, and adds deep search, apps and a free removal email. Both are honest that a match is a lead, not an identity.

At a glance

What ProFaceFinder offers

ProFaceFinder's home page describes an AI face finder that looks for similar faces in an index of publicly accessible images: blogs, news archives, press releases, modelling portfolios, stock photo sites, open forums such as Reddit and publicly indexed profiles. It says it does not reach private accounts, locked profiles, encrypted chats or government records. The free preview tells you whether a face was detected and whether it appears in the index, with blurred thumbnails and an estimated count; unblurring and source URLs cost credits, sold as one-time packs with no subscription.

Two things on its pages deserve credit. It says plainly that a similarity score is an investigative aid, not proof of identity, which matches what we say on reading your results. And its opt-out page is an email with a clear list of what to send and a stated 7 to 10 business day response, which is more than several larger engines publish.

Where ProFaceFinder wins

• No subscription at all. Two searches for $7.95 and you are done; nothing renews.
• A published removal timeline of 7 to 10 business days.
• A preview that reports a match count before you pay, so you know whether paying is worth it.
• Plain language about what a score means, which not every face engine manages.

Where FaceSearch wins

• Price per search. A $5 Starter week buys five searches with every link, about $1 each, against roughly $2.40 to $4 per search on ProFaceFinder's packs, and Daily Pro drops the per-search cost further for regular use.
• A real first result, free. Not a blurred preview: the first search shows the top matches with no account.
• Deep search for a wider pass over the public web, with top-ups on Daily Pro and Business.
• Apps on iOS and Android and a history of saved scans you can return to or delete.
• Take-down help on Business, and a removal email with no 7 to 10 day wait stated; we aim to confirm within five business days.

Switching from ProFaceFinder to FaceSearch

2. 02Run a free search on the search page with the same photo and compare the top results.
3. 03If you want every link, a Starter week at $5 covers five searches; see pricing.
4. 04To remove your own face from ProFaceFinder, email them per their opt-out page with your name, the result URLs or screenshots and a statement that you are the person. Opt-outs are per engine; FaceSearch removal is a separate free email on remove my photos.
