IRBsearch

Free and paid

Use the IRBsearch pricing page for the shape of the bill, not a dollar amount. On 16 Oct 2026 that page listed transactional access, per-seat plans from 1 to 30 or more seats, and flat-rate packages from 500 to 100,000 or more transactions a month. It did not print a price per search or per seat. The apply page adds free credits and a one-week try for a new account after verification. RetrievALL orders show an estimated cost that excludes court fees. Quote the cart you are shown.

The IRBsearch homepage describes searches and reports for private investigators, process servers, and legal work, including criminal history, court records, and property. It names Watchdog alerts, vehicle sightings from license-plate data, RetrievALL for court documents, Phone Finder Ultimate, and CoCourts for Colorado court records. Results, it says, are saved for seven days.

• Three plan shapes, no dollars. Transactional, per-seat, and flat-rate are the pricing page. None of them prints a fee.
• A short trial after verification. The apply page offers free credits and a week, after documents and a subscriber step.
• Credentialed access. The privacy policy limits access by industry, intended use, and the sensitivity of the data.

1. 1

   Pick transactional, per-seat, or flat-rate from the pricing page before you ask what a search costs.

2. 2

   Complete the verification the apply page describes. The trial is not an open web search.

3. 3

   Export a result you will cite. The homepage says results are kept for seven days.

4. 4

   Read the FCRA line on the apply page before anyone uses a report in hiring or credit.

• Pick the plan shape before you ask what a search costs. The pricing page opened on 16 Oct 2026 lists transactional access with no stated cap, per-seat plans from 1 to 30 or more seats, and flat-rate packages from a 500-transaction monthly minimum up to 100,000 or more. None of those cards prints a dollar amount. Write the shape into the request. A customer quote that calls the pricing reasonable is not a rate.
• A new account is not an open web search. The apply page says you submit verification documents, sign the application, and that most accounts activate in a day or less. It also offers free credits and a week to try. Use that week to test the searches you will actually cite, then export them. The homepage says results are saved for seven days. A RetrievALL order shows an estimated cost that excludes court fees.
• Someone copies a permissible-purpose menu onto IRBsearch from another vendor. Open the privacy policy instead. It says access is limited by credentialing, industry, intended use, and source contracts. It names GLBA, DPPA, and HIPAA only as examples of data some state privacy laws do not cover. That is not a published purpose menu and not a price. The apply page says the service is not an FCRA consumer report.
