What counts as a scan
A scan is one photo through one detector. Reading the bibs in a photo is one scan, whether or not a bib is found. You choose which photos to scan, so a gallery of crowd shots does not have to cost anything.
Re-scanning a photo you have already paid for is free, including after a model update or a review correction.
Face grouping is a second scan of the same photo, so a photo in an event with face grouping on costs 2 scans: one for the bibs, one for the faces.
Pricing questions
- Is there a subscription?
- No. You buy credits when you need them and they sit in your account until you use them. There is nothing to cancel.
- What happens to unused credits?
- They stay on your account. Credits do not expire.
- Can I get a refund?
- No. Credits aren't refundable, but they never expire, so whatever you buy stays on your account until you use it.
- What happens when I run out of credits?
- Scanning pauses at the end of the current photo and your results so far stay available. Top up and the scan carries on where it left off.
- Do you charge for storage?
- No, because Bibbit never stores your photos. It reads each photo from your gallery, processes it in memory and writes keywords back. There is nothing to store and nothing to pay for.
- What do the free credits cover?
- The same features as paid scans: bib detection, face grouping, roster names and keyword sync. 500 scans is enough to scan a small race for bibs from start to finish.
