[Get Started](/contact/) [Book Demo](https://cal.com/arghya/9pic-ai)  Feature-by-Feature Comparison ----------------------------- 9Pic AI Selfie + bib ### AI Selfie Search + BibTrack Participants upload one selfie with 9Pic FaceFind to find every photo of themselves in seconds, with 9Pic BibTrack as a parallel bib-number search. RaceDay Photos Bib + crowdsource ### Tagily Bib Tagging + Crowdsourcing Auto-tagging is bib-number based via Tagily and "works best with 4+ digit bibs, avoid common numbers like the current year". Untagged photos rely on participants tagging themselves. 9Pic AI Registration-agnostic ### Works With Any Registration or Timing Partner Plug 9Pic AI into your existing stack — RunSignup, RaceRoster, Townscript, custom Stripe flows — and connect any timing provider via 9Pic Uplink and the 9Pic API. RaceDay Photos RunSignup-bundled ### Bundled With RunSignup RaceDay Photos is part of the RunSignup ecosystem (registration, results, team pages, RaceDay Mobile Timing). Most value unlocks when your race is fully on RunSignup. 9Pic AI Pay-as-you-go ### $0.02 per Photo, No Lock-In Simple usage-based pricing at $0.02 per photo, no platform or registration fee. Optional Pro plan is $200/year for custom domain and 9Pic Certify. RaceDay Photos Free with RunSignup ### Free + Unlimited (Bundled) The photo platform itself is free with unlimited uploads. The cost sits inside RunSignup's per-participant registration processing fees that participants or organizers pay at signup. 9Pic AI Sell + brand ### Checkout, Branded Frames, Watermarks Sell photos and videos with 9Pic Checkout, run sponsor activations with 9Pic Buzz frames, and protect every upload with 9Pic Stamp dynamic watermarks. RaceDay Photos Free engagement ### Free Download, Share, and Watermarks Participants can download or share to Facebook in one click; race or sponsor logo can be applied as a watermark. Selling photos is not a built-in workflow. 9Pic AI Video built-in ### Motion Clips + Flow Highlight Reels 9Pic Motion generates near-realtime selfie + bib video clips, and 9Pic Flow stitches 30–60 second personalised highlight reels participants can download or buy via Checkout. RaceDay Photos Photos only ### Photo-Only Platform RaceDay Mobile Timing can auto-capture still photos at intervals, but per-participant video clips or AI highlight reels are not part of the surfaced feature set. ### Choose 9Pic AI if: - You want selfie-based photo search, not bib-only tagging - Your race uses a different registration or timing provider (or you want the freedom to switch) - You want to sell photos and personalised video reels with 9Pic Checkout - You need 9Pic Motion clips and 9Pic Flow highlight reels for participants - You run sponsor activations (Buzz frames, dynamic Stamp watermarks) - You operate globally and need mobile-first, low-data participant experiences ### Choose RunSignup RaceDay Photos if: - • Your race already runs registration, results, and timing on RunSignup - • You're comfortable with bib-only auto-tagging (and bibs are 4+ digits) - • You don't need to sell photos — free download and Facebook share is enough - • You don't need participant video clips or AI highlight reels - • You use RaceDay Mobile Timing and want its auto-capture stills baked in - • Your races are primarily North American club / community events Frequently Asked Questions -------------------------- ### Is 9Pic AI a good RunSignup RaceDay Photos alternative? Yes. 9Pic AI adds AI selfie search (FaceFind) on top of bib detection (BibTrack), works with any registration or timing provider, includes 9Pic Motion clips and Flow highlight reels, and adds a built-in Checkout for selling photos and videos — none of which are core to RaceDay Photos. ### Can I use 9Pic AI without switching from RunSignup registration? Absolutely. 9Pic AI is registration-agnostic — keep RunSignup (or any other provider) for registration, timing, and results, and use 9Pic AI just for photo and video hosting, AI selfie search, watermarking, and participant highlight reels. ### Which is more cost-effective: 9Pic AI or RunSignup RaceDay Photos? RaceDay Photos is free with unlimited uploads — but only if your race already runs registration through RunSignup, where the cost lives in per-participant processing fees. 9Pic AI is $0.02 per photo with no platform or registration lock-in, so a 1,000-photo race is around $20 and a 10,000-photo race is around $200, decoupled from your registration provider.
