Review an online footprint

What can you look up with DeepSearch?
People / Name
A people report can start the search. Use a name to explore public profiles and web mentions, then compare a city, workplace or familiar detail to find the most relevant matches.
Social Media Search
An online seller or new contact may share a handle before a full name. Search the username across platforms, compare public profiles and follow the details that connect them.
Phone
Have an unfamiliar call or text? Look up the number for available details and public links. If a person or business appears, continue with a name or company search to add context.
Email Lookup
A sender’s display name is only one clue. Search the email address for public accounts and pages, then compare the company, username and other details with the message you received.
Company Search
When a contact claims to represent a business, research the company itself. Review its website, public information and available records alongside the email or number they supplied.
VIN
Researching someone selling a car? Move from the seller’s contact details to the vehicle. Check specifications and available records by VIN, then compare them with the listing.
Photo
Go further than the photos included in a people report. Upload a profile or listing image to look for matching pictures and the websites using them, giving you another clue to follow.
Photo location
A picture can reveal clues that an address history cannot. Explore possible places from signs, architecture and landmarks, then review the evidence behind each location suggestion.

Spokeo is a people-search service that brings available contact details, address history, relatives and public social profiles into reports. You can search by name, phone number, email, address or username. Some information, such as criminal-record upgrades, costs extra beyond a basic report or membership.
DeepSearch is useful when you want to continue beyond a people report. Both services support name, phone, email and username searches. DeepSearch adds dedicated photo, photo-location, company and VIN tools in the same account, so you can follow a profile picture, business name or vehicle listing as your research develops.
DeepSearch lookups require paid access, with Pro at $18/month. Spokeo offers initial searches that can show whether matching records are available, while detailed reports require payment. DeepSearch’s plan is designed for combining several research tools; it does not promise free full reports.
DeepSearch Pro is $18/month, with a weekly allowance shared across 8 lookup tools. On September 13, 2026, Spokeo’s reviewed checkout listed USD $19.95 for a one-month membership or USD $44.85 billed every three months, equivalent to $14.95 per month.
It listed up to 100 reports per month, with some upgrades charged separately. Compare the total billed, renewal period and included usage; promotional offers can differ. See DeepSearch plans.
Yes. Select Phone and enter the number with its country code. DeepSearch checks available number details and public links to a person or business. You can then follow a name, username or company clue with another tool.
A number match is a lead to review; it does not by itself confirm who made the call. Explore reverse phone lookup.
Yes. Spokeo publishes a dedicated username search for public social, dating and other profiles. DeepSearch’s Social Media Search also looks for public accounts using a handle. With DeepSearch, you can continue by checking a profile picture or researching a company.
Neither service gives you access to private accounts or private messages. Explore username search.
Yes. Choose Email Lookup and enter the address to look for related public profiles and pages. Spokeo also offers reverse email search. DeepSearch lets you take a username, business name or photo from your findings into another search, helping you compare more than the sender’s display name. Explore email lookup.
Yes. Photo search finds matching images and the websites using them. Photo location explores possible places from visible signs, buildings and other clues. Spokeo’s reports may include public photos and address history, but its reviewed consumer tools do not list these dedicated image-upload searches.
A suggested photo location is not someone’s live GPS position. Explore reverse image search.
DeepSearch does not offer a dedicated reverse-address directory or a comprehensive criminal-background report. Spokeo provides address searches and paid options for additional records. Choose DeepSearch when you want to explore public profiles, web mentions, images, businesses or vehicle details from the clues you already have.
DeepSearch lets you research public web information and enter phone numbers with a country code. Available results vary by country, query and source. Spokeo’s name and address directories focus on U.S. records, while its email and username searches also look for online profiles. A translated page does not mean either service has complete local records or guaranteed coverage.
There is no universal accuracy winner. A people report and public web research can each surface useful clues, and both depend on the underlying information. DeepSearch helps you compare public source pages across searches. Check several matching details, especially when a name is common, a handle is reused or a phone number has changed owners.
No. Starting a DeepSearch search does not change a Spokeo account or listing. Manage a Spokeo subscription through your Spokeo account or Customer Care. Listing removal is a separate opt-out request with Spokeo. You can use DeepSearch without importing a Spokeo report or connecting the two accounts.
No. DeepSearch is for personal informational research, not employment, housing, credit or insurance decisions. It is not a consumer reporting agency. This comparison covers everyday lookup and research needs, not a screening service.
A Spokeo alternative for connected public clues
DeepSearch fits an inquiry that begins with one contact detail and grows into several questions. You might start with a number, discover a business name, and then want to check a social handle or picture shared by the same contact.
The value is having a dedicated starting point for each clue in one account. You can pursue the next useful detail as it appears instead of trying to make every question fit a single people report.
Use reverse email lookup to investigate a message
An unexpected introduction often arrives with an email address and a claim about who sent it. Search the address to find public pages and profiles associated with it, then compare the domain and organization with that claim.
For example, a seller may use a company name in a message but publish different contact details elsewhere. DeepSearch helps you examine those public references and decide which company or username deserves a separate search.
Compare the profiles a contact shares
Use an exact username to look for accessible public accounts across supported platforms. Read biographies, links and visible posts for context rather than assuming that a repeated handle proves a shared owner.
If the account uses a picture you want to check, reverse image search offers another route. The pages using that image can reveal a listing, article or unrelated profile worth examining before you connect the findings.
Turn a possible association into a checkable question
DeepSearch links findings to public sources so you can investigate how an association arose. The wording on the original page matters: a person mentioned in a news article is different from a person publishing their own contact information.
Use follow-up questions to explore that distinction. You can ask what supports a connection between a handle and a company, then inspect the relevant pages and continue with a more precise identifier.
Compare paid access with a Spokeo free alternative search
If cost prompted your search for a Spokeo free alternative, check which actions actually require payment. DeepSearch lookups use paid access and a shared allowance; access to a page describing a tool is not a free completed report.
Evaluate the plan against the types of research you expect to do. Having phone, email, people, username and image workflows together can suit recurring contact inquiries that change direction as new clues emerge.
