Have I Been Pwned vs DeHashed

HIBP tells you which breaches an email was in. DeHashed shows you the records. That is the whole difference, and it decides who should use which.

Have I Been Pwned is the free, trusted service that tells you whether an email or domain appeared in known breaches, with notifications and a widely used API. DeHashed is a searchable index of breach records that returns the data itself, including usernames, passwords, hashes, IPs, and names, for investigators and security teams. One is awareness; the other is evidence.

Pick Have I Been Pwned for free breach awareness and notifications. Pick DeHashed when you need the actual records to pivot from, and run it per lookup on SearchIn.

FAQ

Have I Been Pwned vs DeHashed, answered

Why not just use Have I Been Pwned?

For awareness, you should. For an investigation, knowing the breach name is not enough; you need the record to find the password reuse, the linked username, or the IP. That is DeHashed's job.

Can I run DeHashed without a DeHashed subscription?

Yes, on SearchIn, priced per lookup from your OSINTverse wallet with automatic refund on upstream failure.
