deepface.dev
Managed deepface.dev API for face verification, embeddings, and vector comparison without running GPU infrastructure.
Capabilities
Everything you need for face comparison workflows.
deepface.dev unifies verification, embeddings, and vector comparison with multiple model backends and detectors.
Face verification
Compare two images to confirm if they are the same person.
Embedding generation
Generate face embeddings for matching or storage.
Vector comparison
Compare image and vector pairs without storing embeddings.
Detection + alignment
Detect and align faces for consistent embeddings.
Controlled image inputs
Accept files and base64 by default; authenticated URL fetching stays controlled.
Commercial-safe models
Use approved, licensed backbones with explicit allowlists.
Supported models and detectors
deepface.dev exposes approved models and detectors only. Use `GET /capabilities` to read the current allowlist before you automate requests.
Approved models
Approved detectors
Commercial note: VGG-Face is excluded because its released weights are restricted to non-commercial research use. ArcFace models based on InsightFace weights require a separate commercial license.
Pricing
Usage-based pricing built for your scale.
deepface.dev offers usage-based pricing that decreases over time. We charge for compute with a small markup that decreases as you make more API calls. Users can top up their accounts as they need more credits.
Exponential pricing
Credits per request fall as volume scales.
This chart shows modeled compute price plus a decreasing markup as monthly usage grows. It illustrates the pricing curve and is not a binding quote.
Usage
158.5K requests / month
Relative price
3.87x modeled cost
Enterprise pricing
Custom contracts with faster rate limits.
We tailor enterprise plans around your throughput needs with higher rate limits, dedicated queue capacity, and SLAs.
- Higher rate limits and concurrency ceilings.
- Dedicated queue capacity and tuned timeout policies.
- Custom contract terms and privacy controls.
- Direct support for rollout and traffic planning.
