221B · PUBLIC-WEB FACE SEARCH
Search once. Or make it a monthly habit.
One search uses 3 credits. All prices in USD.
Pay once. No subscription. Purchased credits do not expire.
Counts show complete 3-credit searches. Remaining credits can be combined with another pack. Monthly leftovers expire with that billing period.
What your search includes & limits
Candidate public pages, similarity scores, original source links and a private saved report. Scores are not identity proof.
A completed search costs 3 credits even if no candidates are returned. For detected technical failures, we attempt to restore the credits and show the outcome.
Common pricing questions
How many credits does one face search use?
Each reverse face search uses 3 credits. If a search cannot complete because of a service or provider failure, 221B attempts to restore those 3 credits automatically. If you only need a few searches, a one-time pack is usually the cleanest starting point.
What happens if no candidate pages are returned?
A completed search uses 3 credits even when it returns no candidate pages. That outcome is inconclusive, not proof that the face is absent online. A provider or service failure is different: when the search cannot complete, 221B attempts to restore the 3 credits automatically and reports whether restoration was confirmed.
Should I choose a subscription or a one-time pack?
Choose a one-time pack for occasional checks. Pro is $29 USD per month; Ultra is $79 USD per month. Both renew until canceled through account billing. Each successful renewal starts a new monthly allowance. Unused subscription credits expire at the billing-period end; one-time credits and rewards remain.
Do credits expire or roll over?
One-time packs and rewards do not expire. Subscription credits are used first and expire at the paid billing-period boundary. Balances issued before the September 2026 change are protected; subsequent monthly grants follow the reset rule.
Are paid credits refundable?
Paid credits are non-refundable unless otherwise stated. When 221B detects a service or provider failure after a paid search is charged, it attempts to restore those search credits and reports whether restoration was confirmed.
Which payment methods can I use?
Stripe shows the payment methods eligible for your location, device, currency, purchase amount, and plan type before you confirm. Cards, Link, and eligible device wallets may be available. Additional local methods can appear for one-time purchases when supported by Stripe; monthly plans only show methods that support recurring charges.
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 match-quality score on its own?
No. The 0–100 match-quality score helps you prioritise which source pages to inspect first; it is not a probability. You still need to verify the original page, surrounding context, names, timelines, and source credibility manually.
