BeenVerified

4.5/5

“Good value if you know how to cancel your trial”

I signed up for the 7-day trial, used it for a handful of checks, and then made sure to cancel. As long as you stay aware of renewal, it’s good value. But tracking the cancellation timeline matters.

Pros : Many users appreciate the value and functionality when used correctly.

Cons : My opinion is the quality of the searches has been decreasing over time.

Switched from : TruthFinder Monthly Plan

Reason to switch : I switched because TruthFinder’s renewal model was confusing and costs were higher. BeenVerified offered lower monthly cost and a transparent trial (if you manage it), so I made the move.

4.5/5

“Solid tool for personal use, mixed for business”

I used BeenVerified to verify someone I was hiring informally, and it gave me good personal data. But when I tried to look at business partner history, it lacked depth. So if you’re a business-user you may want more.

Pros : Easy to use and good interface for personal searches.

Cons : Lacks advanced company-data or business-compliance features.

Switched from : LexisNexis Risk Solutions

Reason to switch : I switched from LexisNexis (very expensive) when doing non-core hires because I needed a simpler tool. BeenVerified gave me enough for personal/hobby uses; for deep corporate checks I still keep another tool.

4.5/5

“Subscription is fine for frequent use, less so for one-offs”

I’m in sales and do background checks on leads regularly, so BeenVerified’s monthly model works for me. If I only needed a one-time check, I’d reconsider. The key: frequent use justifies the cost.

Pros : When used often, the unlimited-style search model can be valuable.

Cons : For occasional use, the monthly cost may seem high.

Switched from : CheckPeople

Reason to switch : I switched because the per-report cost with my old service was adding up since I do many checks. The monthly model of BeenVerified lowered my per-check cost.
