FAQs

What is considered an 'operation' for billing purposes?

An operation tracks usage across Sightengine's services. For example, running Nudity Detection on an image counts as one operation. Each API call consuming operations will return a specific field indicating the number of operations used, allowing for transparent usage tracking.

Does Sightengine offer a free trial or free plan?

Yes, Sightengine provides a Free plan that allows for 2,000 operations per month (with a maximum of 500 per day). This plan is perfect for testing the API and building proof-of-concepts, and there is no time limit on its usage.

Can I change or terminate my plan at any time?

Yes, you can upgrade, downgrade, or terminate your plan whenever you wish. Any changes will become effective at the end of your current 30-day billing period, providing flexibility to adapt to your evolving needs.

What happens if I exceed my monthly operation quota on a paid plan?

If you exceed your quota, your service will not be interrupted. Sightengine will simply apply the per-operation overage rate for the additional usage and charge you for it a few days later, ensuring continuous service without unexpected halts.

Does Sightengine support live-stream moderation?

Live-stream moderation is available with the Pro and Enterprise plans. The Starter plan supports video moderation up to 50MB but does not include live-stream capabilities. Pro and Enterprise plans offer advanced video and live-stream moderation with higher file size limits.
