You know the old adage, “Speed, quality, price: pick any two?” The Venn diagram center of this widely accepted project philosophy is considered an impossibility. Yet, in the world of license plate recognition software, Plate Recognizer has hit the trifecta in claiming that elusive center spot. We earned ALPR supreme status in comparison to OpenALPR, as well as alternatives to OpenALPR, by literally creating license plate recognition technology that is cheaper, faster, and more accurate.
Despite our achievements, however, we remain humble and stay true in our constant pursuit of excellence.
To prove our case as an elite Automatic License Plate Software solution, check out the Cost and Accuracy Comparisons below. Oh, and don’t forget about the technical support too!
Sure, we are in business to make money, but that doesn’t mean we need to take advantage of you to succeed.*
We took some sample images and ran them in both engines. See our detailed assessment below.*
We view ALPR as mission-critical. Connect with us right away to get things going fast.
We know that cost is important for any technology spend. Whether you are looking to deploy LPR for one site or bundling our software into your solution, we’re here to make this a win-win. See our cost analysis below is for Plate Recognizer Snapshot and OpenALPR CarCheck API.*
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Head-to-head, our plate recognition module outperformed OpenALPR in several instances, from blur distances and steeper angles to off-center and non-standard license plate configurations.
We’re not surprised, as we are constantly iterating our software by adding images to our plate recognition library to boost accuracy under less optimal conditions. Our clients enjoy a new software engine drop every 3-6 weeks. Because every additional license plate we get right gives our clients one more data point to improve the safety, security, and efficiency for the community they serve.
We ran some sample images from various countries in both engines. Click on image to expand. Please do your own tests to assess accuracy!*

We pride ourselves on awesome support because we know how mission-critical ALPR is. When needed, our developers engage directly to help you resolve the issues at hand. And, we’re very open to seeking your input into our roadmap so we can grow together.
While this topic of Customer Support is a tough one to compare, we recommend you contact Plate Recognizer and OpenALPR to see for yourself.
Plate recognition is our passion. We’ve succeeded where others have failed by relentlessly pursuing perfection in our quest to recognize number plates with 100% accuracy. Why? Because the closer we get to 100% accuracy, the more significant our contribution to helping make your community safer and your operations more efficient.
Unlike other solutions, we built our machine learning ALPR engine from scratch, pairing Silicon Valley innovation with EU precision, finished off with a dash of Californian optimism. That optimism helped us support organizations needing accurate license plate recognition data around the world, from the US and Brazil to Germany and Thailand.
Our biggest challenge was cracking the code in India, where one person dies every 4 minutes in a speed-related road casualty. Indians have everything going against them, from a dizzying 50 different types of license plates (each with different styles, fonts, colors, and sizes) to low-quality cameras. According to our research, India’s accuracy rates hovered around 70% in an industry where 90%+ is the minimum expectation. After months of intense work and daily iterations, our ANPR accuracy rates exploded. Now our customers are seeing over 95% accuracy there and even higher in other global markets. With our lightening fast ALPR software, it’s no wonder why we won the trust of Mahindra, one of the top 40 largest firms in India.
Check out some of the features that we nerd out about. Together, the benefit of these features is a more accurate APLR solution, which translates to greater security and more efficient operations, so you can provide a superior solution to the customers and communities you serve!
