FaceOnLive Review

FaceOnLive's main business is identity verification software that runs in the customer's own environment. It offers six SDKs: face recognition (1:1 verification and 1:N search of a gallery you manage), face liveness detection, deepfake detection, ID document recognition for passports, ID cards and driving licences, ID liveness detection, and a combined ID verification suite. They ship for Android, iOS, Flutter, Linux, Windows, .NET and Python, can run offline, and FaceOnLive says no image or biometric data is sent to it. It cites NIST FRVT evaluation for face recognition and iBeta Level 2 testing for passive liveness.

Separately, FaceOnLive hosts a free reverse face search page that needs no sign-up. The page itself says the search is provided by FaceSeek: you upload a photo, and results open on FaceSeek (faceseek.online) in a new tab, so FaceSeek's terms and pricing apply to what you see there. FaceOnLive's page encourages checking your own photos and verifying dating or marketplace profiles, and tells users not to use face search to stalk, harass or intimidate anyone. It also offers a free AI and deepfake image detector.

SDKs. Pricing not published; contact sales. FaceOnLive offers three licence types and quotes each one based on the SDKs, platforms, deployment model and expected usage:

Offline deployments are licensed to the hardware ID of the machine they run on.

Face search. FaceOnLive's page calls its face search free and unlimited. The results come from FaceSeek (faceseek.online), whose own pricing page lists 5 free tokens a day, a Standard Face Search with source URLs masked for 1 token, and a Premium search with full URLs for 10 tokens. The first Premium search costs $1.99; after that, token packs are $9.90 for 30 tokens (3 Premium searches, $3.30 each), $17.90 for 70 tokens (7 searches, about $2.56 each) and $29.90 for 150 tokens (15 searches, about $1.99 each). FaceSeek says purchased tokens do not expire and a Premium search that finds no matches uses no tokens. In practice, free use shows masked results; seeing full source links costs money on FaceSeek.

What FaceOnLive lists on its homepage, pricing and face search pages:

FaceOnLive is built for development teams that need face matching, liveness and ID checks inside their own app and want biometric data to stay on their servers or on users' devices, for example for passwordless login, remote onboarding, account recovery or door access. It requires an in-house owner for infrastructure and updates, and prices are quoted rather than published.

For someone who wants to check where their own face appears online, the free page is a front door to FaceSeek (faceseek.online), not a separate engine. Engines with their own published plans and opt-outs include PimEyes (opt-out form, alerts, takedowns), Lenso.ai (opt-out that removes all images of your face) and FaceCheck.ID. To trace one exact photo, TinEye is free for non-commercial use.

FaceOnLive does not publish its own opt-out for the face search. Because the index belongs to FaceSeek, removal requests go to FaceSeek at contact@faceseek.online, which also sells face opt-out and data-broker removal plans.

No independent reviews of FaceOnLive's face search page turned up in a search on November 12, 2026, and no review-site profile covers its SDKs in depth. FaceOnLive's own comparison table, which says its search is free while PimEyes and FaceCheck.ID are paid, is marketing copy from the vendor. Developers evaluating the SDKs can request a free evaluation key and test in their own environment before any licence, which is the most reliable check available.
