Vettly review
An API-based moderation service with configurable policies, review queues, and audit trails.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Vettly provides content moderation APIs for products with user-generated content, including social and community products, marketplaces, AI applications, and kids’ and education products. It evaluates text, images, and video against configurable policies and can return actions such as allow, warn, flag, or block. Small teams building API-based moderation workflows may find its mix of automated decisions and human review queues useful; teams seeking a moderation tool primarily operated through a standalone interface may prefer another approach.
The service combines moderation endpoints with user reporting, blocking, and appeals. Flagged content and appeals can enter review queues, while configurable thresholds and graduated actions let teams define how policies respond. Integration options include a REST API, Node.js SDK, Express, React components, and MCP. This makes Vettly a fit for teams incorporating moderation into an application stack rather than adopting a separate, general-purpose content operations suite. Deployment is cloud-based.
The Free plan includes moderation for text, images, and video, starter policy templates, decision IDs and an audit trail, with 24-hour decision history. Starter adds one-year decision history, custom policy rules, and decision webhooks. Growth adds spam and scam detection, advanced risk controls, and three-year moderation logs. Audit records include policy versions, scores, and context, and trails can be exported as CSV or JSON. GDPR is listed as a compliance feature, and documentation is the listed support channel. Choose Vettly when API workflows, policy controls, and traceable decisions matter; consider alternatives if you need broader support channels or a primarily manual moderation workflow.
