OSINT Industries
Paid selector search across live accounts, with credits and an API.
Published by OSINT Industries.
In short
OSINT Industries is a paid web platform that searches a selector — an email, phone number, username, name, or ETH, BTC, or TRC wallet — and returns linked accounts and profile fields from many live sources. The pricing page lists plans at £19, £49, and £99 a month, with monthly credits. An API is on the higher plans. The GHunt README points at this site as its online version. A linked account is a lead, not an identity.
Product pricing strategy
02
Premium
OSINT Industries is a premium product. Budget for a subscription or a quote. If the vendor does not publish a simple price, the number is sales-led. This listing does not invent one.
No. The pricing page lists paid monthly plans starting at £19. GHunt, which links to this site as an online version, is the free command-line project.
Utility and features
03
OSINT Industries sells a hosted search at osint.industries. You put in a selector and the platform asks a large set of sites, at the moment of the search, whether that selector is tied to an account or a profile. The company calls this selector enrichment. Its own writeup of the method lists the kinds of fields a search can return, depending on what the person has made public and what the source still exposes: that an account exists, a link to the profile, pictures, phone numbers, aliases, last-seen or activity traces, reviews, breach mentions, and, on some sources, a place the account has recorded. The homepage names examples in that range, from the large social networks to apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Strava, Cash App, and Airbnb. Coverage is “1500+ sources” in the company’s wording. That is their count.
- Selectors. Email, phone, username, name, and ETH, BTC, or TRC wallets are the core list. The pricing page also lists IP, domain, and image search.
- Credits. Plans are £19, £49, and £99 a month for 30, 100, and 300 credits. A standard lookup is one credit. Named premium modules cost more.
- API. API access is on the £49 and £99 plans, not the £19 plan. Confirm that split on the pricing page before you integrate anything.
- GHunt. The GHunt README points here as its online version. The command-line tool is still a separate, free project you run yourself.
The pricing page, reviewed for this listing, shows three monthly plans in pounds: £19 with 30 credits, £49 with 100 credits, and £99 with 300 credits. All three advertise email, phone, and username search, plus name search and crypto-wallet search for ETH, BTC, and TRC. The same page also lists IP, domain, and image search. The £49 and £99 plans add API access. The £99 plan adds Palette Cloud Storage. Extra credits can be bought on top of a subscription; the page says to write contact@osint.industries for large packs. Prices move. Read osint.industries/pricing before you quote a number in a budget.
Credits are not one-search-one-price in every case. The company’s docs say a standard OSINT Industries lookup costs one credit, and premium modules cost three more. Modules named there include Kiel, Darkside, Pipl, and YC World, with OffshoreAlert marked as not yet available. So a search can spend credits on someone else’s dataset, not only on the platform’s own connectors. The docs also say the number in the corner of the app is the credit balance. UserSearch.com, separately, resells an OSINT Industries username module and posts a credit price for it. The two products are not the same login.
The GHunt README, the open-source Google framework by mxrch, tells readers that the online version of GHunt is osint.industries. That is a pointer from that project, not a claim that every OSINT Industries search is a GHunt module. GHunt itself still runs on your machine, against a Google session you control, and it is free. Use GHunt when the question is Google and you can install the tool. Use OSINT Industries when you want the hosted multi-source search and you are willing to spend credits.
The company says it supports law-enforcement departments and also sells the platform and the API more broadly, including to government teams. A result is still a lead. “Real-time” means the check ran when you pressed the button, not that every field is complete or that two accounts belong to one person. Open the profile. Keep the export, which the site says can be the format you prefer or JSON, inside the investigation that allowed the search. Do not treat a geo field or a face on a profile as a location of a person until you have looked at the source page and written down what it actually shows.
- 1
Read the current credit cost on osint.industries/pricing. Do not budget from a copied figure.
- 2
Search one selector you are allowed to investigate. Note whether the run spent a standard credit or a premium module.
- 3
Open the underlying profile or record before you write that an account exists or that two accounts are the same person.
- 4
Use the API only on a plan that includes it, and keep exports inside the case file.
Caveats
04
OSINT Industries is a paid, credit-metered platform for resolving selectors to accounts and related data. The pricing page is the source for plans. Do not invent a figure here.
A hit can be stale, a namesake, or a module that matched loosely. Credits make it tempting to stop verifying. Open the account page. The API is not a way around the plan you bought. Sherlock and UserSearch.org are the free username checks to run in parallel, not the same product.

Potential use cases
06
- You have one email, phone number, or username and a plan that lets you resolve it. Run that selector. The output is the live accounts the platform says it resolved, which you open and check. Pivot the same handle through Sherlock or the free UserSearch.org page before you treat a paid-only hit as unique. A resolution is a lead with a credit cost. Read what the pricing page says a credit buys. This listing does not restate a number it did not reload.
- The only selector is a name or a crypto address the product accepts. Run it only if that is actually the question, and expect a common name to collide. The output is whatever the current modules return. Pivot a wallet question to the chain’s own explorer, which is the source of truth for a transaction, and a name to a record you can cite. Do not let a credit-metered report replace the underlying page.
- The same search needs to sit behind an internal tool. Use the API on a plan that includes it, and log the selector and the timestamp. The output is your system’s copy of their response. UserSearch and Sherlock remain the comparisons for a username. Coverage is the vendor’s current module list, not a promise from this directory.
Hard cases
The case where the first result is easy to over-read.
The credit ran and the profile is private
The platform says an account exists and the public page is empty or gone. You paid for a pointer. You did not get the private content, and you should not try to. Record the selector, the module, and the time. If the public username tools also miss it, say that. A second credit on the same selector does not create a fact the first response did not contain.
Questions
Is OSINT Industries free?
No. The pricing page lists paid monthly plans starting at £19. GHunt, which links to this site as an online version, is the free command-line project.
Is OSINT Industries the same thing as GHunt?
The GHunt README says its online version is osint.industries. GHunt remains a separate open-source tool you install. The hosted product searches many sources, metered by credits.
