The BioID app is a multifactor user authenticator – see how well face recognition works today! Developers and companies can easily add biometric authentication to their mobile platforms with a few lines of code. Their end users can log in or authorize transactions securely and conveniently. Forget passwords. Be recognized. EASY MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION WITH MOBILE FACE RECOGNITION WHY BIOMETRICS? Password hacks make headlines almost every week: a password alone is not secure enough. And typing a long, complicated password on a mobile device is difficult and annoying. Multifactor authentication systems using factors like software/hardware tokens or biometric security are becoming more common. Biometric authentication such as facial recognition verifies the physical presence of the user, for easy, strong multifactor authentication using only the user’s mobile device with no extra hardware needed. WHAT DOES THE APP DO FOR ME? The BioID app provides multifactor user authentication (biometrics + mobile device). It is a mobile client for BioID Connect, an identity service based on our BioID Web Service (BWS) – the original 'biometric as a service' with our patented 'fake defender' liveness detection – and supporting OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0. • End users can use it as a mobile authenticator to log in to any apps and websites that support the app (including our BWS developer portal). • Developers and companies can easily add secure, convenient face recognition to their mobile platform (websites or native apps), without any knowledge of biometrics. • Anyone can try out our biometric technology and see how well state-of-the-art face recognition works. The app currently supports liveness detection against photo attacks, and challenge-response to prevent video replay attacks. PROTECT YOUR EMPLOYEES As an administrator, improve the security of your authentication simply by supporting BioID Connect through industry standard OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 protocols. PROTECT YOUR USERS As a developer, enhance app or website security with just a few lines of code by supporting BioID Connect. We take care of all the biometrics and the associated user interface; you get instant biometric security. PROTECT YOURSELF As a user, get simple and user-friendly stronger security for the growing number of apps and websites that support BioID Connect.

PicSnatcher provides 7 main extraction features to get information you need in lightning-fast speed. • Text Extraction: Extract all available texts in images (Even hidden/unnoticeable ones). All phone numbers, addresses, links etc. will be formatted if applicable as shortcuts (Open Map to search, open email composer etc.). It can recognize around 60 languages and also capable to tell you what possible languages are (with confidence ratios). • Object Recognition: Scan and extract all possible objects. It delivers all recognizable objects, labels, level of confidences and their possible locations in images. • Celebrity Detection: Quickly recognize all celebrity faces and provide their locations in images. • Logo Detection: Instantly recognize all available logos appearing in the images and extract them along with their locations and descriptions, • Landmark Detection: Same as logo detection, given an image either from library or camera, it immediately recognizes landmarks, scenes and places and tell you where those locations are. • Face Comparison: It provides face comparison recognition and gives similarity estimates. You can compare any faces. AI uses most visible face from source image and compare it with all faces appearing in target image. • Celebrities you look like the most: It provides face comparison recognition to check which celebrities you look like the most! It is able to compare the face in your image with currently popular celebrities and tell you the results with suggestion of 5 celebrities in total. Users have the options to save those results (up to 50) in the app for future references (We are not saving any results on our backends as addressed in Privacy Policy) This app helps people to efficiently facilitate their daily life. The intended/target audiences are normal users who are using iOS and want to have some utility-like application acted as a powerful tool to help them to have a better understanding towards any useful information around them. All users are welcome to use this app if it can be helpful and make their life better. Privacy Concerns We understand that privacy is important to everyone. We do NOT collect any image contents and save them in our backend server. All data will be wiped out right after scan is finished. We dont save any image results on our server (database, logs and etc). Unique identifier (Email, Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google) is the only thing required to manage our server backend security.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PicSnatcher at 100% against BioID Facial Recognition's 14%. PicSnatcher also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). BioID Facial Recognition's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
