Retrace costs $0.90 per search. There is no subscription.
You top up a wallet with $1.90 minimum. Each reverse video search deducts its unit price from that balance. The balance never expires, there is no monthly fee, and a search that finds nothing gets half its price back.
per Scan. That's the headline number.
Every price we charge
| ITEM | WHAT YOU GET | PRICE |
|---|---|---|
| Scan | Main keyframes searched across the platforms and the open web. Under 30 seconds. | $0.90 |
| Trace | Frame by frame across the full runtime, billed per frame analysed. Never below $1.50, never above $9.90 — a 40-minute video costs the same as a 4-hour one. | $0.03 / frame |
| Free preview | Match count and blurred thumbnails, before you pay anything. No account. | $0.00 |
| No matches found | Half the unit price returns to your wallet, automatically. | +$0.45 |
| Account, monthly fee, expiry | There isn't one. That's the entire product thesis. | — |
Two searches, priced three ways.
The competition sells months. You need searches. The gap between those two things is the entire saving.

Billing, plainly.
Why a wallet and not per-transaction billing?
Card fees are about $0.25 plus a percentage. On a $0.90 charge that would eat a third of the price and we would have to raise it. One $1.90 top-up keeps the unit price honest.
Does the balance expire?
Never. Not in 30 days, not in a year. Unused balance stays yours — that is the difference between a wallet and monthly credits.
Can I get a refund on my top-up?
Unspent balance is refundable on request. There is nothing to cancel, because there is nothing recurring.
Is there an API?
Not yet. When it ships it will be priced the same way: per call, no minimum commitment.
