What is CaraComp?
CaraComp is an analytics tool. CaraComp compares two facial photos and returns a similarity score with attribute-level detail, built for investigators who need a documented, math-backed verdict rather than a guess.
CaraComp is a face comparison tool built for people who need a defensible answer to a simple question: are these two photos the same person. Users upload a source image and a target image, and the platform runs multiple AI models against facial landmarks, producing a similarity score alongside a breakdown of individual attributes such as age range, gender, smile, sunglasses and emotion. Results typically return within seconds, and each comparison can be exported as a report with the underlying calculations attached, which matters for anyone who needs to show their work rather than just state a conclusion. The tool is aimed squarely at investigators: private detectives, skip tracers, OSINT analysts, corporate security teams, and legal professionals verifying identity for a case file. Beyond single-photo comparisons, CaraComp extends into batch comparison against 20+ target images, crowd detection across up to 100 faces in a group photo, and frame-by-frame video scanning to locate a subject across footage with timestamped matches. The platform also claims to handle degraded inputs such as blurry surveillance stills, obstructed faces, and old photographs, which is a common pain point in field investigation work. In practice, a solo investigator can run comparisons from a browser without any technical setup, while agencies can add team members by email, manage seats, and track case history collectively. Developers who want to embed the matching logic into their own workflows can use the API, which is bundled into the Teams tier. Within the identity verification and facial recognition space, CaraComp positions itself less as a general-purpose recognition API and more as a case-ready, report-generating workflow tool, trading the flexibility of raw recognition platforms for built-in documentation suited to investigative and legal use.
How do you use CaraComp?
1Create an account and sign in
Sign up and log in through the CaraComp web app before starting any comparison work.
2Upload a source and target photo
Provide two facial images, a source photo and a target photo, to begin a comparison. The platform accepts lower-quality or partially obstructed images.
3Run the comparison
Start the scan and let the multi-model AI engine calculate facial landmark distances and generate a similarity score, typically within 8 to 15 seconds.
4Review the full analysis report
Open the full report to see attribute-level results such as age range, emotion, and the underlying mathematical calculations behind the score.5Invite team members if working as an agency
Add investigators by email, assign seats, and manage access from the team dashboard for collaborative casework.6Try specialized tools for video or crowd scenarios
Use video FaceMatch to scan footage frame by frame or crowd detection to find a subject among up to 100 faces in a group photo.
