About Lykdat
Lykdat is a fashion-focused visual search platform offering reverse image search, deep tagging, and item detection for clothing and accessories. It provides both a consumer-facing image search app and a developer API/SDK that lets ecommerce brands add image search, automated product tagging, and price alerts to their stores.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Specialized exclusively for fashion, which improves tagging and search accuracy versus general visual search
- Offers both a consumer app and a developer API so brands and end users are both served
- Free global image search tier lowers the barrier for small retailers to experiment
- JavaScript SDK with pre-built UI shortens integration time for storefronts
- Available on RapidAPI for easy procurement and metering
Cons
- Narrow focus on fashion - not useful for general ecommerce or non-apparel verticals
- Smaller catalog and brand coverage than enterprise visual search vendors
- Public roadmap and changelog are limited, making feature velocity hard to assess
- B2B 'solutions' subdomain now redirects to a separate analytics product (Woven Insights), which can confuse buyers
