How to choose
- Occasional lookups: a pay-per-result model (TraceFind) costs less than a subscription you use twice a month.
- Daily casework in a team: compare monthly credit allowances, API limits and case management.
- Phone numbers: check which messengers are covered; coverage differs a lot between tools.
- Usernames: the number of sites matters less than how often broken sites are removed, because broken checks produce false hits.
Also see the free command-line tools many investigators start with: Holehe for email registrations and Sherlock for usernames.

Which OSINT tool is the best?
It depends on what you search and how often. For one-off lookups a pay-per-result tool is cheaper; for daily team work, a subscription with an API and case management may fit better. Each comparison lists when the other tool is the better choice.
Are the competitor prices current?
Each page states the month its facts were checked. Prices change, so confirm on the vendor’s pricing page before you buy.
