Our People Searcher Review: #3 Public Record Site 2024

Search Billions of Public Records, Quickly and Easily!

Detailed & Quick

People Searcher is a one of a kind background check service that allows you to quickly and safely search through data from billions of public records, all in a single simple-to-use interface. To start searching a public record, all you need is the first name, last name and the state information. People Searcher also provides personal protection service to protect your personal information from predators and criminals.

People Searcher Highlights

• Premium membership available as a 2-day trial for $1.00
• Unlimited searches and reports
• Proactive alerts when public record data is changed
• Emergency Response Profiles to save personal information in a virtual vault
• Nationwide sex offender information
• Sex offender monitoring in four selected areas

Emergency Response Profiles:  A feature that sets People Searcher apart from the competition – ERPs allow you to store vital information about you and your family members in secure virtual vault. This gives you the ability to instantly access and share this data when you may need it the most, such as in case of lost or missing family member.

Proactive Monitoring and Alerting:  People Searcher allows you to designate four individuals whose public record will be constantly monitored. You are immediately alerted when public record of any of these individuals changes. This gives you the freedom to not run regular reports looking for changes to public data.

How to search public records: It’s simple to get started with a public record search using People Searcher. Start by entering the first name, last name and state.

Fees

People Searcher Subscription: Subscription plans for People Searcher are not clearly stated. The report activation page states that People Searcher can be tried for 2 days for just $1. If you cancel within this period, there’s no additional charge. Otherwise you’re charged the monthly subscription fee at $39.82 a month. The subscription may be cancelled anytime.

Even though the report activation page does not talk about this, the help center states that annual subscription can be purchased for less than $100 – no information on what the subscription amount is.

People Searcher Pros:

• Simple-to-use graphical user interface
• Try the service for 2 days before purchasing full membership
• Once a member, search unlimited public records
• Get alerted when your public record is changed

People Searcher Cons:

• Search is limited to name and city of the person
• No clarity on the subscription plans. The trial period of 2 days is pretty short too. Some of the other competitors offer a 7 day trial.

The Final Ruling

People Searcher seems to be an average background check service. The user interface gives you unified access to data from multiple sources, however the level of detail for the provided data is certainly a question. The trial option makes it a choice worth considering, however there’s a lack of clarity in the subscription plans.
