PeopleFinders Reviewer's Comments

You’ll never have to worry about finding long lost friends with the “TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award” winner in people search. PeopleFinders is an online company that can find people through electronic databases and public records. PeopleFinders also offers other related services, like background checks, criminal checks, sex offender searches and employee screening, but the companies real strengths lie in people searches.

PeopleFinders is very versatile. You can conduct searches by name, address, phone number and even social security number. This makes it one of the best choices if you don’t know a name or only have partial information. We also liked PeopleFinders’ reports because they offer some of the most comprehensive information of any company we reviewed. Besides the industry standards of name, address and phone number, PeopleFinders reports could also include address history and possible relatives.

PeopleFinders is great resource for finding people you’ve lost contact with and is competitively priced with many other people search services that offer less.

Features Set:  

PeopleFinders has some very important features for people searches. One of the most important is the Preview Before You Buy. When you do a search, PeopleFinders shows you a complete list of all entries that match the search along with what information is available in the entry, all before you buy the full report. Some other people search services do this too, but PeopleFinders’ is especially easy to use because of their system of check marking available information.

Another great feature on the PeopleFinders site is the ability to buy a 24-hour pass or a 30-day pass. This is a great option if you have more than one search to do or if you know you will need to do more searches in the near future, potentially saving you a lot of money.

Possible Report Information:  

PeopleFinders provides thorough reports. Obviously the report will only include available information, but some possible information includes, aliases, current and past addresses, phone, age, date of birth and possible relatives. PeopleFinders’ reports are some of the most extensive that we reviewed and definitely useful for identifying and locating people.

Search By Criteria:  

While the criteria with which you do your searches isn’t as important as the information you get from the report, it’s still important to be able to search by information other than a name. Sometimes you may have other identifying information and PeopleFinders accommodates these situations. On the site, you can search by name along with a state (if you have an idea of where they might live) though you don’t have to provide a state.

It’s also possible to do reverse address and reverse phone searches if you only have that information. You can even search by social security number and email address. However, we found that the email search wasn’t nearly as reliable as searching by other criteria.

Help/Support:  

The FAQ at PeopleFinders.com is quite comprehensive and useful. But if you need more help, PeopleFinders also has email support for questions and problems with reports.

Summary:  

PeopleFinders combines easy searches with comprehensive reports to give you everything you need in a top people search service. PeopleFinders consistently got high marks in every category and deserves the #1 spot in our review of people search services.
