What Is It

RHISEARCH is an AI-powered visual search tool for “searching inside social videos,” covering YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Instead of relying on titles, descriptions, tags, or popularity, it samples video frames at fixed intervals and uses a Vision Language AI model to identify people, clothing, brand logos, products, food, buildings, vehicles, muscle-training movements, and other visual elements, then builds a searchable visual index.

Core Capabilities

Its core concept is the presence rate: each detected element is assigned a prominence/appearance score from 0.1 to 1.0. You can use queries such as Nike, rate > 0.6 or quadriceps, rate >= 0.5 to filter for content where an element appears frequently and prominently. Search supports comma-separated multi-condition queries and can be filtered by platform, language, age, gender, content type, brand, model, action, and location. In terms of languages, it supports English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, and multiple European languages, with automatic keyword translation.

Pricing

The free plan includes 4 searches per day, supports all platforms, the full query syntax, and all languages, with no credit card required. Pro costs €45.90 as a one-time purchase for 500 searches, and credits never expire. Unlimited costs €10.90/month and includes unlimited monthly searches, with cancellation available at any time. Overall, the pricing is fairly friendly to both occasional researchers and high-volume analysts.

Pros and Cons

Its main strength is that it addresses a blind spot in social media search: many brands, products, or actions genuinely appear in the video frame but are never mentioned in titles or tags. It is suitable for brand exposure monitoring, competitor analysis, creator discovery, sponsorship placement verification, fitness movement search, and visual trend research. The drawbacks are that the site does not disclose the index size, update frequency, recognition accuracy, or false positive/false negative levels. There also appears to be no public API, bulk export, team permission management, or privacy compliance documentation. Regional brands or newer brands may need its RAG-enhanced custom detection pipeline.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited to brand marketing teams, social media researchers, creator agencies, fitness coaches, and anyone who needs to find materials based on what appears in the video frame. Users in mainland China should note that YouTube, Instagram, and the international version of TikTok are generally not directly accessible, so in practice a proxy network will likely be required. The payment methods are not specified on the pricing page. Alternatives include Brandwatch, Mention, Sprout Social, and native platform search, though these rely more heavily on text-based signals.
