About TraceBase

Modern people search, built differently.

Why we built this

Every people search site is the same: enter a name, watch a fake loading animation for 30 seconds, then hit a paywall. We built TraceBase to be different — instant results, transparent pricing, and no manipulative UX patterns.

Our principles

  • No fake loading screens — results appear when they're ready
  • No subscriptions — pay per search, cancel anytime
  • Public records only — we don't access anything that isn't already public
  • Transparent — you see exactly what you're getting before you pay

Data sources

TraceBase aggregates publicly available information from social media profiles, public directories, and government records. We never access private databases or sell your search data to third parties.
