It's fine, but there's better out there for the price
Prices were raised by 50% within the last year, which makes it not that worth it anymore unless you're an enthusiast.
The breach email search is slow with frequent, annoying captcha. It does not support bulk search or allow for exact searches using "quotation marks" despite having an option to enable it.
The reverse search modules are the main feature and it works, but it only checks under 200 websites. The basic subscription tier limits you to 10 daily searches with no visible counter. The reset timer is based on your last search, not your first, potentially requiring 36-hour waits instead of the advertised 24 hours.
Twitter username and bio history search works well but only covers up to 2023.
I didn't purchase for the League of Legends, Twitch, or nhentai.net features. They also removed the YouTube comment search feature for unknown reasons.

- Regarding prices, despite having raised them by 50% we remain the lowest on the market for the amount of results we return. Server cost increased as we increased the capabilities of the servers.
- The annoying captcha can be disabled by upgrading to our Sr. Archivist tier. We have it enabled for lower tiers to avoid abuse of our API. I will work on making it less annoying.
- The reverse search modules search over 500 websites, not 200, we recently made a big update in that regard. 200 was already a big number, bigger than 99% of other services on the market.
- 10 daily searches is 300 per month. You will never find any service that offer that many searches for such a low price.
The second least expensive service on the market is 10 times more expensive than ours. I think you do not realize how cheap the subscription is on our website, and it's by design I made it to drop prices.
- The reset timer is not based on your last search. It's a rolling limit, if you make a search on 01/01/2025 at 2pm then 4pm then 6pm.
Then you consumed 3 credits.
You will get a credit back the following day at 2pm, then another credit at 4pm then 6pm.
