Luxand.cloud
Luxand.cloud is a cloud-based face recognition platform that lets developers embed facial analysis into websites, mobile apps, and enterprise software. The API suite includes face detection and comparison, liveness detection, person identification from previously tagged photos, and age, gender, and emotion recognition. For more playful or creative use cases, it also offers a Baby Maker API and an Aging API powered by AI image generation.
Built for fast integration, Luxand.cloud provides code examples for Java, JavaScript, NodeJS, Ruby, Golang, C#, Python, and more. The service promises high performance with face recognition completing in about 60ms, and it can scale to handle large volumes of photos. Privacy is also a focus: Luxand.cloud stores only neural network templates rather than original photographs, making it difficult to recover the source images.
The platform targets businesses in finance, marketing, education, transportation, hospitality, and retail, with use cases ranging from identity verification and fraud prevention to customer emotion analysis and personalized guest experiences. A free tier of 500 API requests per month is available without a credit card, paid plans start at $5/month for new users, and a $49/month plan includes 5,000 requests. For organizations that need on-premises processing, Luxand offers a separate FaceSDK product.
