Whether it\u2019s finding out who\u2019s behind a number, tracking down a long-lost relative<\/a> or friend, or even finding out who your neighbors are<\/a>, Spokeo wants to help you know who you\u2019re dealing with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, to the question you\u2019re probably here for: \u201cIs Spokeo free?\u201d The short answer is that while you may be able to get some basic information for free from a Spokeo search, the advanced results aren\u2019t free\u2026but they are worth it<\/strong> <\/em> (in Spokeo\u2019s admittedly-biased opinion)<\/em>. Let\u2019s take a look at what you can access for free, and what\u2019s worth paying for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Spokeo Free? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some basic information, like age, relatives, and location, can appear in free Spokeo searches, but access to other available information requires the purchase of either a subscription or a low-cost single report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While most people will eventually want advanced search results, running a free search can still be beneficial for those just getting started in their people searches or those who are just a little curious about basic information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, many types of searches will, at the very least, provide the city\/state associated with a person or that the phone number is based out of. So, if you\u2019re confident you don\u2019t know anyone from that area, you can use your free search results to dismiss that random text you just received! But, if you want to know more, it might be worth it to consider paying for advanced results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When It\u2019s Worth Paying For<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your reasons for searching up a name, number, address, or email,<\/a> it\u2019s safe to say that you\u2019ll want more results than the free search provides. And that\u2019s exactly what Spokeo can do. By analyzing 12 billion public records and over 120 social media platforms, and then running them through proprietary databases managed by data scientists, Spokeo provides the most relevant information you\u2019ll find in a people search.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spokeo will also help you filter certain types of information, making it easier for you to pinpoint the information you\u2019re trying to find. So, if you\u2019re interested in all the details, including things like social media profiles, opting for advanced results will be a no-brainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
