Foap is an app that allows you to sell photos, but the system it uses for tagging is insane. It's crazy accurate and I want to know who made it.

Google's Vision API FWIW unsurprisingly blows Clarifai out of the water.

#4FTR you can just build your own very easily out of any of the open source DL frameworks out there and their derivatives. E.g. digits and deepdetect will give you an API along with the pre-trained models.

#5I've checked Clarifai, Google, and Microsoft cognitive services with this photo https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3232/2492569957_1e5ebdec11_b_... (mariachis in a boat in Xoximilco lake) - this should be hard to classify, of course.
This are the results: NONE of them identified people as mariachis ;-)

Clarifai (TAGS): people, vehicle, water, festival watercraft, transportation system, tourist, travel tourism, city, adult, group boat, recreation, man, outdoors competition, canal, sfw transportation, travel
Google (tags): Boat 79% Vehicle 77% Boating 67% Waterway 58% Raft 53%
My only conclusion is that both Google, Clarifai, and Microsoft are doing a great job. You should take a look at what you need and choose the best provider.
