The Intelius membership model
Intelius sells memberships that give you access to unlimited searches within their database. That model works if you're a professional who runs dozens of lookups a week. For everyone else — people who get a strange call and want to know who it was — you're paying $20–$30 a month for a service you'll use twice.
WHODIS is built for the occasional-use case. No membership, no commitment, no monthly charge between uses.
Intelius vs WHODIS: different tools for different needs
Intelius offers deeper background reports beyond phone lookup — useful for real estate, legal research, or HR professionals running frequent searches. If that's you, their membership may pay off. If you just need to know who's calling, WHODIS is the right size tool at the right price.
One lookup. One dollar.
No Intelius membership. No $29/month commitment. Just answers.
