WHY TEAMS CHOOSE SCAMAI

The Scam AI advantage

Dedicated deepfake detection model

AWS Rekognition provides face detection, object recognition, and general image analysis — it does not have a dedicated deepfake detection model. Scam AI’s Eva-v1 is trained specifically to identify synthetic face swaps, GAN images, and diffusion model outputs.

No AWS lock-in

Scam AI is a standalone REST API that works independent of any cloud provider. Teams on GCP, Azure, or self-hosted infrastructure can use Scam AI without an AWS dependency.

Voice clone detection

Scam AI’s audio API detects voice clones from ElevenLabs, PlayHT, and other platforms at 98.5% accuracy. AWS Rekognition has no voice clone detection capability.

Identity fraud specialization

Scam AI is purpose-built for KYC, financial fraud prevention, and identity verification — the use cases where deepfake accuracy matters most.
