Danaya vs Serelay
Compare media authentication platforms — see why Danaya is the only solution that combines cryptographic sealing and AI deepfake detection.
Serelay: Enterprise SDK for photo provenance verification
The Key Difference
Unlike Serelay, Danaya also includes AI deepfake detection for images, videos, and audio in every plan — starting free.
About Serelay
Serelay is a UK-based company that provides an enterprise SDK for photo verification. Their technology captures a unique fingerprint of each image at the moment of capture, allowing later verification that the photo has not been altered. Serelay works at the pixel level rather than relying on metadata, which makes their verification resistant to metadata stripping.
Serelay sells exclusively to enterprise customers through an SDK integration. Their primary customers are in insurance, journalism, and legal evidence. There is no consumer app, no free plan, and no way for an individual photographer or content creator to use the service directly. Serelay does not offer video sealing or AI detection capabilities.
Best for: Insurance and legal teams who need pixel-level photo verification embedded in their enterprise applications
Serelay: Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Pixel-level fingerprinting is resistant to metadata stripping
- Strong focus on insurance and legal evidence use cases
- SDK captures verification data at the moment of capture
- Independent of EXIF metadata — works even if metadata is removed
Limitations
- No AI deepfake detection — only verifies photo integrity
- Photo only — no video sealing support
- No free plan or consumer product — enterprise SDK contracts only
- No public verification page — verification requires SDK integration
When to Choose Danaya Over Serelay
A legal team needs to verify that a photograph submitted as evidence has not been altered. Serelay's SDK can confirm the photo is unmodified since capture. But the team also receives a video deposition and an audio recording — Serelay cannot verify these. They also suspect one submitted photo might be AI-generated, but Serelay has no detection capability for synthetic media. With Danaya, the legal team can seal photos and videos, detect AI-generated images and audio, and provide a PDF certificate of authenticity that is admissible as supporting documentation.
