FaceCheck.ID Review

FaceCheck.ID is a reverse image search built around faces. You upload a photo of a person, agree to the terms of use, and it searches its index for web pages where it has seen that face or similar-looking faces: social media profiles, news and blogs, videos, scam reporting sites, mugshot sites and sex offender registries. Each result carries a match quality score from 0 to 100, which FaceCheck groups as Certain (90-100), Confident (83-89), Uncertain (70-82) and Weak (50-69). Red flag icons appear above results when a face matches, at 83 or higher, a photo on news, scam reporting, mugshot, sex offender, most-wanted or adult sites, or when the uploaded face looks AI-generated.

FaceCheck is explicit that it does not identify people: it says many unrelated people look alike, scammers reuse photos of innocent people, and results should be cross-checked and never used to confirm identity for legal purposes. Its terms bar searching for anyone under 18 and using results for credit, employment, insurance or tenant decisions, and it tells users in jurisdictions that prohibit facial recognition to stop using the site. It says uploaded photos are not added to the index, searches are deleted after 24 hours and IP addresses are not logged. There is no official mobile app; FaceCheck says any app with its name is unauthorized. A REST API is available for developers. The site footer names Tech Solutions - Belize as the operator.

FaceCheck sells one-time credit packages, not subscriptions. One search costs 3 credits.

Payment is cryptocurrency only. The package cards list Bitcoin, Litecoin and Solana; the payment FAQ on the same page mentions only Litecoin and Bitcoin, and the API page says Bitcoin or Litecoin. To pay by card, PayPal or Cash App, FaceCheck tells you to buy crypto elsewhere first, and you pay the network fee. All sales are final: the payment FAQ says no refunds are issued. Paid credits unlock links to the source websites; the homepage says buying credits shows up to 3x more images per search. Removing your own photos from the index is free.

What FaceCheck.ID lists on its homepage, buy page, FAQ and API page:

FaceCheck.ID suits someone checking whether a dating match, seller or new business contact is using stolen or reused photos, and anyone who wants to find and remove their own face from its index. The smallest package, $19 for 50 searches, is enough for a handful of checks, but the credits expire in 14 days and there are no refunds.

It is a poor fit if you cannot or will not pay in crypto, if facial recognition search is restricted where you live, or if you need a verified identity or background report: FaceCheck itself says it does not identify people. For finding exact copies of an image, TinEye or Google Lens is free. PimEyes is the best-known alternative face search engine and takes card payments. For identity checks built on name, phone and email records, Social Catfish is aimed at romance-scam victims.

A Guru99 review calls FaceCheck.ID one of the quickest face search tools it has looked at and likes the trackable removal process, Telegram alerts and exports; its drawbacks are gaps in coverage of newer images, innocent people sometimes flagged as risks, accuracy that drops with poor lighting or angles, and no direct customer support. That review steers readers to Spokeo for full background checks through promoted links, which suggests a commercial relationship. FaceCheck publishes its own comparison of seven engines that scores itself highest, but discloses that it is not independent: the tests were run in May 2024 by an expert paid by FaceCheck.ID.
