Berify

Berify is a web service for locating images and video frames online, aimed at people protecting creative work or managing image rights. It is most compelling when recurring searches, evidence reports, or API workflows matter; its monthly search allowances expire at each billing date.

Overview

Berify searches its own index of more than 800 million images and queries Google, Bing, Yandex, and TinEye. It looks for exact matches as well as visually similar copies, including images that have been cropped, filtered, resized, or compressed. That makes it useful for finding altered uses that a basic exact-match lookup could miss, though finding a match is not the same as resolving a rights dispute.

Berify says uploaded images are held temporarily for processing and then deleted, are not added to a public database, and are not shared with third parties. It says it complies with GDPR and provides rights to access, delete, and export user data. Stripe handles payments; Berify says it does not see or store full card numbers.

Key features

Image and video search

Video search extracts key frames from uploaded videos and searches those frames through Google, Bing, Yandex, and TinEye. This extends image discovery to video, but it is specifically a search of extracted frames rather than a separate video-matching capability.

Monitoring and evidence

Paid plans include automatic monitoring and priority processing, a practical step up for people who need repeat checks rather than occasional lookups. Business adds timestamped PDF reports containing source URLs, discovery dates, and visual similarity scores. Those reports give rights professionals a structured record to review; Berify does not claim that they settle ownership or enforcement questions.

API and team workflows

Business includes API access for programmatic image searches and result retrieval, with integrations suited to case-management and client-reporting workflows. It also includes batch CSV search and up to five team seats. Those features make the plan more relevant to firms and teams than to an individual looking for a few searches.

Pricing

Berify is freemium, with a free trial and paid plans billed monthly. Unused searches do not roll over between billing dates, so a plan is a poor fit if demand is irregular and accumulated capacity matters.

Plan	Price	What it includes
Free tier	free	Free searches and basic reverse image search.
1000 Images	$5.95 a month	1,000 images.
6000 Images	$24.95 a month	6,000 images.
Business	$49.99 a month	5,000 search tokens per month, full API access, up to 5 team seats, batch CSV search, forensic PDF reports, and dedicated support with an SLA.

The free tier is best for basic, occasional checks; it lacks paid-plan monitoring and priority processing. The 1000 Images plan is the lowest-cost paid entry for users who need more capacity, while 6000 Images suits heavier monthly workloads. Business costs more but is the clear choice for teams needing API access, batch searching, evidence reports, or SLA-backed support. The plans describe allowances in different terms—images for the first two paid tiers and search tokens for Business—so buyers should match the stated quota to their workflow. Monthly allowances do not carry forward.

Platforms

Berify is available on the web. Its image uploads are capped at 1,000 per month.

Who it's for

Photographers, stock photo contributors, digital artists, models, and content creators can use Berify to look for appearances of their work. Copyright attorneys and brand managers are stronger candidates for paid monitoring or Business, where reports, API access, batch search, team seats, and dedicated support can support repeat investigations. Someone who only needs occasional basic lookups can start with the free tier; users seeking a mobile app should look elsewhere, since Berify is web-based.

Pros and cons

• Broad search coverage: Berify combines its own index with four named search services, and matches visually altered copies as well as exact ones.
• Video-frame searches: Extracting and searching key frames offers a route to find imagery embedded in video.
• Useful Business workflow tools: Timestamped reports, API access, CSV search, five seats, and SLA support address professional team needs.
• Monthly capacity expires: No rollover makes the paid quotas less attractive for users whose search needs vary sharply from month to month.
• Web only: There is no listed native mobile platform for users who want a dedicated phone app.

Alternatives

Reverse Image Search Software and AI Reverse Image Search Tools are category roundups for comparing options.

• Lenso.ai is worth considering if platform choice matters: it supports Android, iOS, desktop systems, web, API, and extension access, and its Starter plan includes 50 unlocks, 10 alerts, and unlimited searches.
• Pixsy may suit users focused on monitoring and case submission: its free plan monitors 500 images and includes unlimited case submission, though it provides zero takedown notices.
• Reverse Image Search Anywhere is an option for users who prefer an open-source extension.
• RIMG is a free alternative for users seeking reverse image searches without a stated usage limit.
• Copyseeker offers an alternative with a $9 a month Monthly plan that includes unlimited searches and priority speed.
• SearchReverseImage is a free option for unlimited photo searches without signup or watermarks, with support for JPG/JPEG, PNG, WEBP, or GIF files up to 4 MB.
• TinEye is another web-based option; its Starter plan costs $200 a month and includes 5,000 images and 1,000 monthly searches.
• SerpApi is an alternative for API users; its free plan provides 250 searches per month and 50 throughput per hour.

Verdict

Choose Berify if you need to trace image use across multiple search services, check video through key frames, or build repeat rights-work into monitoring, reports, and API workflows. Its free tier makes basic searches accessible, but monthly capacity that expires and the web-only platform make it less suitable for sporadic high-volume needs or people who want mobile apps. Business is the strongest fit for professional teams; individuals should start free or choose a smaller paid quota according to steady monthly demand.
