What else?
Main differences between lenso.ai and Social Catfish
Image Results
- Lenso.ainot only found plenty of results in the 'People' category but also search for image duplicates, which can be helpful if you're trying to track where a specific image has been published.
- On lenso.ai, you can access URLs showing where the images appear, whereas Social Catfish only provides a count of possible matches. However, you cannot verify these results, as everything is hidden behind a paywall.
Additional features
- Social Catfish imposes a 5-minute deadline to view the report, which can make users feel rushed and uncomfortable. In contrast, lenso.ai offers valuable features even for free accounts, such as creating an Alert for an image.
- Lenso.ai also provides various sorting options (Newest/Oldest, Best/Worst match) and filters (by keyword or website), making it easier for users to find the best possible match. Unfortunately, after spending 5 minutes analyzing results on Social Catfish, all you encounter is a paywall.
Pricing
- When it comes to pricing, there is also a significant difference. Onlenso.ai, the Starter monthly plan costs $15.99 and includes 50 unlocks for source links, allowing you to decide which ones to access.
- On the other hand, Social Catfish charges $6.87 for a 3-day trial, followed by approximately $29 per month. The downside is that you don’t know what results will actually be available behind the paywall.
Which is better for face lookup?
While Social Catfish offers plenty of people search options, it has everything hidden behind the paywall - and we cannot properly check what results are there. Moreover, it has a really low user experience rate - it took almost 5 minutes to prepare the results - and as it appears there are no results available without paying.
Lenso.ai on the other hand also has plenty of paid options - but you can check the image results in seconds, you can sort or filter results for narrowing it down and find the best possible match.
So without any doubts, lenso.ai is a better alternative for face lookup. This tool performs effective face search in different categories and has a clear pricing policy - you know exactly what you are paying for.
