The investigative search platform

Skip trace without the commitment.

Sign in and search. People, assets, employment, records and business filings from one place — $5 per seat plus per-search pricing, no search minimum, and an audit trail that survives inspection.

Credentialed businesses only. We verify licensure and permissible purpose before your first search.

Why this exists

Incumbent data, without the incumbent contract.

A solo investigator running thirty searches a month, a two-person collections shop, a process server who needs one locate when service fails — none of them should be signing an annual contract with a volume commitment to reach the same files. You sign an access agreement here, and it commits you to nothing but handling the data properly.

01 — Data

Deeper than TLO and IRB where it counts

Premium credit header from all three nationwide bureaus — billions of records, continually updated — plus alternative credit bureaus the incumbents treat as optional. That is what resolves thin-file subjects, recent immigrants and cash-economy debtors: the files that come back empty on TLOxp and IRBsearch. Every search runs against the live file, never a cached snapshot.

Compare us to TLO, IRB and IDI
02 — Terms

Five dollars a seat, then per search

$5 per user per month, and you pay only for searches that actually run. No search minimum, no term commitment, and rates published on this site rather than quoted on a call. A two-person shop pays ten dollars plus what it searches — against minimums the incumbents quote in the hundreds.

Rates
03 — Defensibility

Purpose logged on every search

Not per account. Not per session. Every single search carries its own permissible-purpose code and matter reference, and the whole log is exportable. Blocked attempts are recorded too, and never billed. When your client or your regulator asks why a search was run, the answer is a file.

Our standards
What this is not

A record is a lead. It is not a fact.

Every platform in this category sells "verified" data. Almost none of it is verified in any sense that would survive a deposition. Aggregated records carry stale addresses, merged identities, and same-name collisions, and calling that verification is how people end up garnishing the wrong account.

We rate confidence and we show the source. Cross-referencing across independent sources raises confidence substantially — and it still is not proof. Nothing is verified until someone confirms it in person. When a matter turns on certainty, that confirmation is investigative work and belongs with a licensed agency.

  • Confidence rated on every result, not asserted
  • Source attribution on every material field
  • No-hit is a real result, priced and reported as one
  • No implication of completeness — coverage gaps are stated
Who gets access

Credentialed businesses with a documented purpose.

We verify licensure, entity standing, and permissible purpose before your first search — and we decline applications that don't hold up. That gate is why the platform is worth having.

Core

Private investigators

Skip tracing, asset work, witness location. At $5 a seat the whole agency can search under its own logins, each with its own line in the audit trail — no shared account, no guessing who ran what.

Core

Law firms & legal teams

Judgment enforcement, pre-suit collectibility, witness and heir location — with a per-matter record your client, and opposing counsel, can inspect.

Public service

Law enforcement

Sworn agencies receive 15% off every published rate as a public service. Same platform, same audit trail, same per-search purpose record. Apply and identify the agency.

Corporate

Risk & corporate security

Threat assessment, insider matters, due diligence and entity resolution — with sanctions and watchlist screening in the same interface.

Volume

Collections & creditors

Portfolio triage at volume, priced to run across a whole book.

Occasional

Process servers

One locate when service fails, for $5 a month rather than a subscription you use twice.

Not available for FCRA-regulated use

Lodestone Data is not a consumer reporting agency. Data furnished here may not be used for employment, tenant, credit, or insurance eligibility decisions. Account types are configured so that FCRA-shaped usage is blocked at the API rather than disclaimed in the terms — and accounts that attempt it are suspended.
