How credits work
- Each reverse face search uses 3 credits.
- Results are intended for public-web review, not automatic identity confirmation.
- Source-page review still matters: names, dates, bios, and context decide whether a result is meaningful.
Trust and scope
221B is designed for public-web discovery. It is not a private-record lookup product, and it should not be treated like an automatic identity decision engine.
The intended workflow is simple: run the search, open the original source page, compare names and timelines, and verify context before treating anything as meaningful.
FAQ
Common pricing questions before you buy.
How many credits does one face search use?
Each reverse face search uses 3 credits. If you only need a few searches, a one-time pack is usually the cleanest starting point.
Should I choose a subscription or a one-time pack?
Choose a one-time pack for occasional checks. Choose a subscription if you expect recurring searches, want lower per-credit pricing, and need a steadier workflow.
What does 221B search?
221B is designed for public-web face search across publicly available pages, profiles, articles, blogs, and other crawlable sources. It is not a private-records product.
Can I trust a high-confidence match on its own?
No. Confidence helps you prioritise which source pages to inspect first. You still need to verify the original page, surrounding context, names, timelines, and source credibility manually.
Need more context before you buy?
Start with the methodology page if you want to understand search scope and review limits. Start with the guides if you want to compare reverse face search with reverse image search or review a verification workflow first.
