The company offers a developer plan for $49.50/month plus $0.0001 per transaction, at up to 75 transactions per minute, with unlimited storage included.
IDrive promises that its tool’s accuracy and performance is comparable to AWS Rekognition, but at a lower price. All requests to the API are encrypted, and using the API looks to be pretty straightforward. There are also face comparison and verification features to identify people by their face, and a gender, age and emotion detection option. For this, the API provides the usual bounding boxes and metadata for all faces. IDrive Face, as the service is called, includes the standard tools for detecting and analyzing multiple faces within a still image that are at the core of every face detection API. With its API, IDrive is targeting a very different market, though, and entering into the API business for the first time.
Last year, the company launched IDrive People to help its users find faces in photos they’ve backed up on its service. That seems like a bit of an odd move for a backup company, but it turns out that IDrive has actually been in the face recognition game for a while.
IDrive, an online cloud storage and backup service, is launching a face recognition API today that goes up against the likes of AWS Rekognition and others.
I did a bit of a double take when I first saw this announcement.
