FaceOnLive (FaceSeek) has definitely stepped up its game: the interface is cleaner, previews look sharper, and results appear quickly. It also offers flexible subscription options for both short and long-term users. 

Overall, it’s a decent choice. However, results may feel too repetitive, and it doesn’t always give the best results. You’re not stuck; there are sharper and more user-friendly tools that bring more to the table.

1. ProFaceFinder – Affordable, Accurate, and Practical

ProFaceFinder keeps things simple: two pricing plans ($6 for 2 searches, $10 for 7) and results that come fast and accurate, complete with source links.

Its interface is clean, with no ads, distractions, endless scrolling, or clutter to worry about. You’ll even find short guides on how reverse face search works, making it beginner-friendly.

It searches what most engines don’t: social media, dating sites, offender files, news, articles, blogs, and even scam databases. So, you’ll get all the juice from a simple search. 

Whether you want to simply identify someone’s identity, suspect a catfish, or determine if someone is misusing your photos, ProfaceFinder has got your back.

However, there are no free source links or previews; results require payment after the scan.

2. PimEyes – Many And Super Accurate Results

If FaceOnLive provides only decent results, try PimEyes because it’s better. It searches across websites, blogs, and it doesn’t mind whether it’s a solo pic or a group shot.

It’s precise, even with makeup, masks, or totally different styles, PimEyes still scans and delivers results for the right face. It provides clear, cropped, and focused results.

You get a clean and simple interface as well as 10 free searches a day with visible previews; no sources without paying, though.

Subscriptions can be kind of pricey. It starts with $15 for 1-time results. Here are the Pricing Plans:

• Monthly: $31, $36, or $311
• Annual: $298, $347, or $2,977

(Prices converted from EUR, so check the current exchange rate.)
Higher tiers unlock more searches, alerts, and advanced features. If you’re serious about tracking your face online, PimEyes does the job. It even lets you remove your photos from the engine…for free!

Look, FaceOnLive got better, but Lenso.ai did too. It detects faces, spots duplicates, matches landmarks, and gives you filtered results for easy access in real-time. 

You get 10 free searches daily, and as a first-time user, you won’t struggle using it. It’s simple, easy to navigate, and straightforward with its results and pricing.

Useful features:

• Works well with altered or group images.
• Lets you filter by website, keyword, and date.
• Saves your favorite results in collections.
• Alerts let you track new matches over email.

Its database isn’t as huge as Google’s, but it still does a great job.

• Monthly subscriptions go from: $16, $70 to $2.8K.
• Whereas yearly plans from: $160, $700 to $28,010

These prices are converted, so double-check, as the currency changes over time.

Better organization, smarter filters, and tools like alerts make Lenso.ai a spot-on replacement for FaceOnLive.

4. FaceCheck.ID – Reliable Even With The Free Version

FaceCheck.ID isn’t just another face search tool: it’s a red-alert system. It flags the scary stuff: romance scams, mugshots, fake profiles, all while letting you track your image safely. 

It warns you when someone shows up in suspicious registries. Handy when investigating dates or suspicious people. And it’s easy to use, just drag-and-drop, no need for a subscription, unless you need sources.

However, it only accepts crypto as payment, and if someone doesn’t have much of an online presence, you’ll likely see irrelevant lookalike results.

Subscriptions vary. The usual offers are $19, $47, $197, and $597. There’s also the 2-day plan for $6, which, much like your relationship, is on-and-off.

5. Google Images – Free And Very Informative

Google Images isn’t built for detective-level face searches, but it gets the job done. In testing, it returned 9 spot-on matches. Clicking on a single photo often unlocks dozens more.

Sometimes, Google even drops extra info, like when a photo first appeared online. You can stash up to 50 images without eating up your device storage. Results come from everywhere:

• Public social media accounts;
• Websites;
• News, and beyond. 

And don’t sleep on the “Products” tab: it’s your shortcut to finding outfits, items, or accessories from images, often with direct shopping links. Perfect if you’ve ever thought, “Where did they get that?” but felt too shy to ask.
