ImagesiftBot
ImageSift · Another search engine or assistant
ImagesiftBot downloads public images, along with the page's URL, text and alt text, for an index that ImageSift's products use to find similar images. If your robots.txt has no rule for it but has one for Googlebot, it follows the Googlebot rule.

If you block it
You ask for your pages to be left out of the service it crawls for. Your score does not change: it belongs to none of the assistants we measure.
Allow or block
A group of its own makes ImagesiftBot ignore the “User-agent: *” rules. If you have Disallow lines there that should still apply to it, repeat them inside its group. To allow it, writing nothing is usually enough.
