Lenso.ai Overview
Lenso.ai is a Poland-based company launched in 2024, making it one of the most recent newcomers on the scene.
The firm specializes in AI-powered reverse image and facial recognition search, with the goal of making these tools as accessible and privacy-friendly as possible, while also employing state-of-the-art facial recognition technology.
Lenso.ai is known for its focus on content protection and compliance with GDPR, while also expanding into enterprise and SaaS markets through the company’s partnership with EyeMatch and the release of a developer API plan.
User Experience
The company’s approach to its web interface design is modern and minimalistic, making it extremely easy to start searching with a single click through the homepage, without the need to create an account.
More advanced functionality options such as alerts, saving collections and unlocking results can be then unlocked quickly through a sign up via email or through your Google account.
The drag-and-drop upload, real-time AI analysis, and quick filter options make it easy to navigate, even for first-time users.
While there's no dedicated mobile app, Lenso.ai’s platform is optimized for all modern browsers. We found absolutely no issues when using the service on a variety of browsers on Android and iOS devices.
Key Features
When you first upload an image you want to do a reverse search for, you will see that the company splits the results in a number of easily navigable categories, making it easy to target things better through a single click.
Face Search
The most compelling feature of Lenso.ai is definitely its facial recognition engine, built to accurately detect and isolate human faces.
The quality of the service here is far beyond other generic reverse image tools, capable of finding people regardless of the fact if they have different hairstyles, accessories, age or even if they are in group photos.
Lenso.ai’s tool is capable of easily searching for celebrities and influencers, while also finding public profiles and websites related to the faces found.
You can use it for things like privacy protection, catfish and scammer detection, as well as for journalism and Open Source Intelligence purposes, and for rising issues like AI art source tracing.
Duplicate Search
Another solid feature here is the option to identify duplicate images, whether they are exact or near-duplicates. This includes screenshots, deepfakes and even edited or filtered images.
The issue is that the image index is still smaller than Google Lens for example, so it may not catch as many duplicates for more widely distributed types of content.
Still, for general use, the quality of the service is still top-notch.
Place Recognition
You can also search for places around the globe, whether they are iconic landmarks like Stonehenge or some lesser-known locations like small town attractions in the US.
The search works really well for buildings and urban infrastructure like bridges and roads, as well as for geographic formations like mountains, coastlines and deserts.
Where this category of reverse image search may falter are some obscure or hyperlocal places, but in general, you can easily identify most of the places around the world.
Similar & Related Images
The last two categories are useful for visual discovery, offering thematic matches rather than identical copies of images.
For example, you can find a watch in a style that you like, and then search for similar products that closely match the aesthetics, allowing you to easily find more options and perhaps an even better match in style or pricing before you make a purchase.
While some keywords and filters you apply here might not always be perfectly precise, the tool is still highly useful, and can be used for a variety of personal and business purposes, like design inspiration or contextual image variants.
How It Works: A Quick Example
To illustrate how quick and easy it is to use the service, we’ll show you our test with an image of the Grand Canyon.
First, you either drop, paste or upload your image in the box at the top of the homepage.
As soon as you upload your image, you will get the results on a different screen.
As you can see, the engine works great and gives out relevant results lightning-fast.
Our image doesn’t feature people, so there are no results in that category, but if we go to the Places category, we will get detailed results about images from this location, and the Related category will provide us with additional photos from the surrounding area around the Grand Canyon.
And that's it. Simple as that. Depending on the thing or person you want to search for, you can add keywords to narrow down the search or for example to look for certain aesthethics in products you like and much more. All of it done through this lightning-fast AI-powered engine.
Pricing Plans
The Lenso.ai free plan offers only previews of results, and features basic filters, with unlimited searches, but the full functionality of the platform requires a subscription.
There are three different subscription tiers currently available on the website, and you can subscribe with either a monthly or a yearly subscription, which reduces the overall cost by 20%.
The Starter plan is currently priced at $15.99 per month, and it allows for 50 search results and 10 alerts, while also providing you with the ability to save images and filter the results by domain and text prompts.
The Professional plan is priced at $69.99, and is meant to be the all-in-one solution, providing all the capabilities of the Starter plan, but with enhanced search capabilities and with 500 results unlocked, along with 50 alerts.
The last available tier is the Developer plan, costing $2,800 per month, and is designed for enterprise use, providing full API access and a massive number of searches and alerts compared to other two plans.
Customer Support and User Satisfaction
Lenso.ai provides customer support either through email or the contact form on the website, and during our testing we found that the team is usually pretty quick to respond through both of these options.
However, we’d like to see the company add a live chat option in the future, as it is currently lagging behind some of its competitors in this regard.
What’s not lacking, however, is the wealth of information on the website itself, as Lenso.ai has a rich library of guides in the blog section, with hundreds of relevant articles that can help you learn how to better use its service.
The FAQ section also features basically all the relevant questions you might have regarding the platform, and its services.
As this is a newly launched service, there aren’t that many customer testimonials online, but we found that the overall sentiment among the users is currently very positive, especially when it comes to the quality of the face search engine.
Final Verdict
All things considered, Lenso.ai provides a cutting-edge service with fantastic face recognition technology, people search functionality, packed tightly in a simple, intuitive UI.
Its free service is easily among the best on the market today, and the paid plans make it even better, all with affordable pricing.
