# SightRadar vs the alternatives

> How SightRadar compares to AWS Rekognition, Azure Face API, Face++, and self-hosted open-source face recognition. SightRadar wins on price (~half the per-photo cost), reliability (no quota/FPS tickets, no approval gate), and a real web console with per-operation cost visibility.

SightRadar is a dedicated face-recognition platform: it does one thing well, with a real web UI, ready-made Python & Node SDKs, clean docs, no quota/FPS gates, and roughly half the per-photo price of the hyperscalers.
