FAQ

Skopenow vs Pipl, answered

Which is better for a background check?

Skopenow if you want an assembled report on social and open-web presence. Pipl if you need to confirm an identity and contact details. Many desks use one to discover and the other to confirm.

Can I do this on OSINTverse instead?

You can run the identifier lookups yourself per source and keep them in a Case. You will not get an automated report or an identity confidence score, and you will pay per lookup instead of per contract.
