vs Luxand
Faceplugin vs Luxand FaceSDK. On-premise face recognition and liveness versus Luxand’s FaceSDK library. Document OCR is Faceplugin-only in this table.
Luxand FaceSDK is a long-running on-premise face library (Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, plus language bindings). It documents passive and active liveness and thermal-camera liveness. Luxand.cloud is a separate cloud FaceAPI. Public reviews describe FaceSDK as face matching/liveness without a document-verification product.
Faceplugin adds a document recognition SDK (passport OCR, MRZ, barcode) and document liveness, plus Linux/Windows HTTP Docker APIs and Flutter / React Native / Ionic Face Recognition and Document plugins.

Choose Faceplugin when you need ID document OCR + face + anti-spoofing as documented products, or a ready HTTP API on Docker.
Look at Luxand when you want a general-purpose FaceSDK (including macOS / thermal) and will add OCR from another vendor.
