The honest brief
Mixpeek
One API for cross-modal retrieval over video, audio, images, and documents — joining faces, transcripts, and on-screen text in a single query.
- Searches video, image, audio, and docs
- Extracts faces, scenes, OCR, transcripts
- Hybrid dense/sparse/BM25 retrieval
- Indexes directly from object storage
- Free vector-store tier
- Developer/API-first, not no-code
- Core platform is not open source
- Smaller than general vector DBs
TwelveLabs
Video-native foundation models (Marengo, Pegasus) understand motion and events directly, not by captioning sampled frames into a text LLM.
- Marengo embeddings + Pegasus generation
- Natural-language search over video
- Index once, run many tasks
- Free tier with usage pricing
- Clean developer API
- Proprietary, closed models
- Cloud-only, no self-host
- Usage costs scale with video volume
