Frequently Asked Questions -------------------------- ### Gotag.me says they are privacy-focused because they don't use Face Search. Does 9Pic AI force me to use Face Search? **No.** 9Pic AI puts you in control. You can enable a privacy-first mode that disables facial recognition entirely and run a strict Bib-only event. The difference is that **9Pic AI gives you the choice**, while Gotag.me keeps you restricted to bib search only. ### Why is "Selfie Search" better than "Bib Search"? Bib search can fail when the number is covered by a hand, bent, or facing away from the camera. Selfie Search finds the person regardless of bib visibility, so participants can recover more of their memories. ### How does the pricing compare? 9Pic AI uses usage-based pricing ($0.02/photo) with no subscription required; power users can add an annual plan for custom offerings. Gotag.me’s FAQ directs customers to contact them for detailed pricing information.
