Maigret builds a username report from public checks. SearchIn supplies the commercial chapters that report cannot buy for you.

Maigret sits next to Sherlock with a reporter’s instinct: gather site hits into a dossier. It is open source and excellent for a first subject file. OSINTverse does not generate Maigret reports. SearchIn runs paid providers and stores a case. Export SearchIn JSON into whatever dossier format you already use — including a Maigret-informed workflow.

Keep Maigret for open username dossiers. Use OSINTverse to add paid identity and leak chapters.
