What it is
Berify is a web service for finding where images appear online, helping people identify possible unauthorized use of their work. It searches its index of over 800 million images and queries Google, Bing, Yandex, and TinEye. Its matching algorithm looks for exact and visually similar images, including versions that have been cropped, filtered, resized, or compressed. For videos, Berify extracts key frames from an upload and searches those frames across the same services. The free plan offers basic reverse image search; paid plans add automatic monitoring and priority processing. Plans include 1,000 Images for $5.95/mo, 6,000 Images for $24.95/mo, and Business for $49.99/mo. Business includes API access, up to five team seats, batch CSV search, and timestamped PDF reports with source URLs, discovery dates, and similarity scores. Berify says uploaded images are temporarily stored for processing, then deleted, and are not added to a public database or shared with third parties. Unused searches do not roll over between monthly billing dates.
