It turns out that if you have a basic paid membership and choose to upgrade, they'll immediately bill you at a pro-rated rate for the remaining time on your current subscription. With 24 hours to go in my basic membership, I upgraded to advanced for $9.00 and am staying up all night playing with it, and will then cancel before I go to bed. (Please be sure to read what you're signing up for before trying this trick--I'm only representing this as the deal I found on this particular day.) Update: Please don't try this at home. See post 13.


Obviously, since my time with deep search is rushed, my review is anything but thorough. Essentially, I'm having the same experience as the Redditor I quoted a couple weeks ago. Bear in mind, I'm searching a pretty limited number of girls, and they're either pretty obscure, like Nika from my OP (and, I must admit, a few ladies from real life I couldn't help but search just in case) or models that I know I already have almost everything they've done.



Almost every search has gotten many more results than the same or similar images searched with basic. And I can now cross 1,000--though, so far, my biggest number of results has been just shy of 1,600.


I'm not noticing any increase in the quality of results. So far, it's been a lot more of the same. I think we can safely cross off the list the fantasy that they're keeping a secret stash of good websites for the advanced users.



I've spotted an occasional relevant image that didn't come through on previous basic searches, but nothing I didn't already have. In a few hours of deep searching, I've yet to find a single new image to add to my collection. (Again, my searches are pretty idiosyncratic, so you may have a better experience.)

By far, the bulk of the hundreds of extra results have all been infinite duplicates and a bunch of "image not found" messages.



So, I think my final verdict on Pimeyes is the same as my first impression: If you're a completist who wants absolutely everything possible from your favorite models or a regular participant in the model ID thread, it's worth checking out basic paid membership for a month. If you can pull a last minute upgrade, then cancel for before the 300 bill comes in, that's worth it, too. Even not finding anything so far, it was worth nine bucks to satisfy my curiosity.


I'm glad I spent a month with Pimeyes. I never did find that secret horde of trillions of images of my favorite models, but this random bits and pieces here and there that I found, which I almost certainly never would have found otherwise, were worth the price, at least to me. I'd have paid up front for the same material knowing what I would get.

A very useful feature that is lacking is a toggle/checkbox that removes duplicates. Perhaps that is a bit tough to do dynamically as the results are generated but it might be worthwhile to wait a little longer for the results so that you would not have to sift through tons of dupes.

Important followup to my last post: After cancelling, I was digging around n my account, and it seems that they were going to charge me the $300 for another month even though I cancelled within the current subscription term. I think I've fixed it by manually cancelling them not only through their website but through Paypal. But I definitely no longer suggest the 1 day upgrade trick.

I just want to clarify what happened with the billing for my one day of advanced membership. Pimeyes uses a billing service called Fast Spring, which in turn takes several forms of payment, including PayPal. By upgrading my membership to advanced with 24 hours left, I was charged $9.00 for one day of access to deep search. I cancelled my membership through Fast Spring on the Pimeyes website before the end of the 24 hours, but it showed a pending deactivation date of 30 days out, with an anticipated charge of $300 coming the next day. I then logged onto PayPal, where I could cancel recurring billing, which successfully blocked them from making the $300 charge, resulting in immediate deactivation with no further invoicing.



So, the $9.00 one day test run of deep search can be successfully done. It beat their system, but it wasn't really cheating, because I paid in full for the whole time that I had access to their service. Just know if you're tempted to take this trick for a spin, that you've got to time it carefully and keep your eye on a lot of moving parts in order to avoid getting charged $300, and that, as I outlined my experience a couple posts ago, you're most likely spending $9.00 to satisfy your own curiosity, not to actually find more content.


Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I had a thread at freeones asking for old Brazzers id's of extra's in scenes for years and at VEF where I post id's each month. A poster at freeones started finding many, many id's in my unsolved thread from 2007-2022 by the ton, and told me about Pimeyes, and decided to give it a try for $29.00

Did not see a $9.00 option just image above as of today.

These pay options are still on my account today which expired in late May.


I was a member in May 2022. Took the $29.00 plan for 25 searches a day, cancelled in advance, they kept my membership open until the final day as they are supposed to, never saw a rebill.

My search results were around 600 plus per request for many pornstars.

As someone who looks for extra's in porn scenes (and do that with Brazzers specifically) I found hundreds of id's and many more from other sites. Some pornstars, some models, who were only extra's some not in porn at all who were on a porn set for a day.

Some results only produced a handful or results, sometimes the results were terrible and not close to a match.

Best $29.00 I ever spent on porn. Sure a lot of dead ends, some with few to no results, many repeats with old expired links with sites that expired. The image you give them has to be good, not perfect, some id's were found with a lousy image of poor quality also.

If you are going for an id on a 2007 blurry image that's not a closeup or a grainy image it's likely going to be found or give you poor results.

Today with my account not logged in I get three free searches a day can't click on results and link to sites but do notice some are 900 plus results even in free no account mode for pornstars, never saw 1000 results.

I cut and past the images found at Pimeyes hoping for a match at not very good Yandex which is completely free but it does match a fair amount of the time. I would make a pimeyes search and top ten images were exactly the same, when I cut pasted it into yandex there would be no match.

The old days of bing having a porn id search by image is gone. Google is terrible even with cropping which barely finds anything.

That's my experience, wanted to share.

What the hell has happened to pimeyes?

Just tried to use it and it would appear that the free feature (only thumbnails with minimal website information) has ceased to be.

It now spends longer to process and adds more graphic rigmarole as it searches, before putting you firmly behind a paywall.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Are those halcyon days of pimeyes use over?

Hi, Nightjar,
I have the same problem with Opera browser using VPN (protected browsing), but not if I use Mozilla Firefox without VPN.

I just did a test, and got the usual gallery oriented result; albeit with much more advertising on the side-margins.



Code:
https://pimeyes.com/en/results/ERx_241112ezhhx42er04y6p19622fd63?query=4fef07032823cdfffefebc90bcb4181c_bfdfef8c05000000737b23037b030707_1f37e3c34b797c7fe7ffdb81a4a4a499
I am using the Chrome browser on a Linus Ubuntu 20.4 laptop, located in western Canada.

Just did a second test, and got the same type of result. The additional advertising, and animation at the pimeyes site puts a load on the laptop's CPU, and really slows down scrolling.

Code:
https://pimeyes.com/en/results/nQd_2411127kr1n1vhoff04p74eedbb0e?query=ffc3d3933f9f0000397cf8d8fcf8f070_efd3d389df780000387c7c587e3c3c18_e74743dfbfb40000f89838187c7e6e7c
At this point in time, it looks like the "free" version of pimeyes is still working in my part of the world.

A few hours ago I got these results:



Now I made another check and it's back to the usual gallery result. Let's hope it stays this way.

Sounds like they took the free option down for a few hours while they installed the ad manager software, now it's back up and running?
