## Rates (USD)

Pricing is pegged to AWS Rekognition Group-1 ($0.00125/image). Billing is **per photo processed, never per face** — a photo with 0 faces is still a valid, charged, successful result.

| Operation | SightRadar | vs AWS Rekognition |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Real-time index (synchronous) | $0.00093 / photo | ~75% of AWS |
| Batch index (standard) | $0.00062 / photo | ~50% of AWS |
| Search by face ID | $0.00062 / search | ~50% of AWS |
| Storage | $6 / million stored faces / month | ~50% of AWS ($12/M/mo) |

- 1 credit = $0.00001 (100,000 credits = $1).
- Creating a collection is free; only face operations are billable.
- Prepaid credits only — no subscription, no auto-renewal. Optional auto-recharge tops up your wallet before a batch runs out.
- Every billable call returns an `X-Credits-Remaining` header; a depleted wallet returns 402 Payment Required rather than failing silently.
- Merchant of Record: Dodo Payments (handles checkout, tax, and card data — SightRadar never touches cards).
