Pipl seems more advanced, but I assume there are simpler free options. What do people use instead?
Pipl is solid and data-rich, which makes it great for deep lookups. Its downside is real: paywalls, higher pricing, and updates that aren’t always current. Free or cheaper options tend to have thinner data and less reliability. In my experience, Searqle turned out to be the most practical overall. It isn’t free, but the pricing feels reasonable and the trial shows what you can actually pull before paying. Example: I used it for a quick phone lookup to verify a contact, and it saved me a lot of back-and-forth. Overall, it fits my workflow without demanding a premium commitment.
