The reverse video searchsites, compared.
Search for a reverse video search tool and you find several sites with almost the same name: reversevideosearch.org, reversevideosearch.app, reversevideosearch.io and reverse-videosearch.com. They are different products with different prices.
Here is what each one lists, and where Retrace fits: a free scan of the whole video, and $0.90 per search with no subscription.

The first second is not the whole clip.
A free search of the first second works when the opening shot is the distinctive one. Most reposts are cut, captioned or start mid-scene, so Retrace's free scan samples the distinctive frames across the whole video instead and tells you how many matches exist before you pay anything. For the detailed FrameTrace comparison, see Retrace vs FrameTrace.

Are reversevideosearch.org, .app and .io the same tool?
They are separate websites. reversevideosearch.org is branded FrameTrace; .app and .io are different sites with their own pricing; reverse-videosearch.com, with a hyphen, is another one again. Some share feature names such as QuickSearch and DeepSearch.
Which free search looks at more of the video?
The QuickSearch tiers on .org and .app analyse the first second of the video. Retrace's free scan samples up to 24 distinctive frames across the whole runtime. Retrace's free scan shows how many matches exist; seeing them is paid.
Is there a pay-per-use option without a subscription?
Yes, several. reversevideosearch.app sells DeepSearch at $1 a minute, .io lists $2.50 per use, and Retrace charges $0.90 per search from a balance that never expires.
Which one should I use?
For one clip, try the free tiers first — they cost nothing. Retrace is worth it when the clip has several scenes or the important moment is not in the first second.
