No, the price is not high at all. FR tends to attract laypeople as well as sophisticated developers such as yourself. We've found that just giving a download leads to too many "casual support requests" from not real users. So, if you can stomach the stress of a human voice, you can get our software in minutes. This simple screening blocks those that would just waste our time.

I'm actively working on facial recognition in a retail store context, but I also quickly dismissed your product due to a lack of pricing information.

3D-AI looks like it would be a great fit, but "Call for demo" translates to "probably $100,000+ with lengthy on-boarding and extortion-level support contracts"

I don't mind calling or emailing to get a trial license, but I'm not going to waste my time or yours if I don't even know if it'll be in-budget.

Actually, try $2000 and you own a license. Support is negotiated, and if you're technical nearly nothing. Support is typically for the non-technologists. None of the major players in FR list their prices on the sites, BTW. Just look them up at the NIST FR Challenge website; you'll see us in the top ten year after year, and you won't see anyone from the article above.

Oh of, 3D-AI: I'm the lead.

You may take a look to SOD embedded project which is open source and do support facial detection at Real-time.
