Our verdict on each
BeenVerified
BeenVerified suits readers who want a long-established US people search with several support routes and an opt-out path for their record. Its subscription of $36.89 sits above the $24.99 charged by PeopleLooker, and it is not FCRA compliant, so it does not serve report buyers bound by that rule.

Questions about each
BeenVerified
How much does BeenVerified cost?+
BeenVerified charges a subscription of $36.89 for the term shown at checkout, and that is the figure that carries over at renewal. There is no separate report price to add on. For comparison, the site median for a subscription is €24.89.
Is BeenVerified FCRA compliant?+
No, BeenVerified is not FCRA compliant, so its output does not meet the standard required for a report an employer or landlord can act on. If your reason for searching is a hiring or tenancy decision, look for a service that carries the compliance instead. Most brands in this category, 71%, are in the same position.
Can I search BeenVerified for free?+
No, free search is not offered, so the first look at a record is already a paid one. That makes the total cheaper for a single enquiry but poorly suited to browsing. Across the category, 53.8% of brands do offer a free search.
Can I get my record removed?+
Yes, a record opt-out is available, so you can ask to be taken out of the results. This matters for people who want to check what is listed about them. Every brand in this ranking offers the route, 100%.
