Intelius refers to itself as "the premier people search tool" and promises to help you "Find Anyone. Anywhere." It is superior to most competitors, but compared to TruthFinder and Instant Checkmate, we found it to be lacking. It was tougher to find the information we were looking for.
When you land on the Intelius website, you'll immediately see a large search box asking for the person's name and address. This makes it simple and easy to use. For more detailed searches, there's also an advanced option to help narrow down your results and find the information you're looking for.
A unique benefit of this site is the ability to delete any records it may find about you online. Intelius provides a straightforward process for registered users to opt-out of having their public records visible on the site. However, this can only be done online and not via fax or mail. This feature is especially useful for privacy purposes.
You can browse a wide range of public records, including phone numbers, addresses, marriage records, divorce decrees, death records, arrest records, criminal history, traffic violations, and more.
Intelius is priced similarly to TruthFinder, which is higher than most competitors.

Overall Intelius is a decent option that strikes a balance between public records coverage, subscription cost, and customer service. While it doesn't stand out as the best in any of these areas, it beats out most of the competition. Intelius delivers reasonably good results at an affordable price.
