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.

03 — The work

It keeps the case file, not just the search

Searches on a subject collect into one file: the merged picture, an interactive map of relatives and associates you can pull apart, and every result one click away. When you are done, one button produces a clean report you can hand to whoever is paying for it — instead of an afternoon retyping results into a document.

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

Built for the people who do this for a living.

Access is credentialed, so the data stays good and the people using it are who they say they are. Most applications are answered inside two business days.

Core

Private investigators

Skip tracing, asset work, service and witness location. At $5 a seat the whole agency searches under its own logins, each with its own line in the audit trail — no shared account, no guessing who ran what, and a case file you can hand to the client who paid for it.

Public service

Law enforcement

Sworn agencies receive 15% off every published rate. Criminal history, wants and warrants, incarcerations, DMV and registration data, and network development on a subject — with the statutory purpose recorded on every search, which is what a defence motion will ask about later. Apply and identify the agency.

Core

Intelligence & corporate security

Threat and protective intelligence, insider matters, entity resolution and pre-engagement due diligence. Sanctions and watchlist screening, business affiliations and beneficial ownership sit in the same interface as the person work, so a subject and the entities around them resolve together.

Collections firms, process servers and recovery agents are welcome and well served — the locate products are the same ones. Apply and tell us what you work.

Lodestone Data is not a consumer reporting agency. Data furnished here is for investigative use and may not be used for employment, tenant, credit or insurance eligibility decisions. What that means.

Getting started

Four steps, and a person on the other end.

  1. STEP 01

    Apply

    Entity details, licence number, the kind of work you do. Two minutes, and it reaches a person, not a queue.

  2. STEP 02

    Credentialing

    We verify licensure and standing, usually same day. If anything is unusual we call you rather than decline it.

  3. STEP 03

    Keys issued

    Portal access and, if you want it, an API key. $5 per seat, no onboarding fee, no minimum.

  4. STEP 04

    Search

    Billed per search, monthly, itemised against your matters.

Check it yourself

Every other platform in this category makes you ask what it costs.

TLOxp does not publish rates. IRBsearch sends you to sales. IDI quotes on request. That is the norm here, and it exists because a price you cannot compare is a price you cannot negotiate.

Our entire rate card is on this website, every product, with the no-hit price beside each one — and the platform bills from the same table, so the two cannot drift. Nobody has to call anybody.

  • $5 per seat, per month. No search minimum, no term, no termination fee.
  • Employment locates are free when they find nothing — not reduced, zero.
  • 15% off every rate for sworn agencies, applied automatically.
  • We publish where competitors beat us. The arithmetic, including the parts we lose.

Bank and brokerage account location is not sold here at any price. Why.

Stop paying for a subscription you use twice a month.

Published rates, $5 a seat, credentialing usually inside two business days.
