Search by name, email, phone number, or username. ESPY's IRBIS instantly surfaces linked social profiles, connected accounts, and identity signals — worldwide.
Enter a name, email, phone, or username — IRBIS searches across 200+ platforms and returns a full digital identity profile in under 5 seconds. No manual searching, no tab-hopping.
More than most people expect. Searching one email can surface Instagram, LinkedIn, and Airbnb accounts all registered to that address — even when the person used different display names on each.
Enter a full name — add a city or company to narrow it down. IRBIS returns matching profiles ranked by confidence score, so you find the right person fast even if the name is common.
This is what you actually see when you run a search. Names, numbers, and photos are anonymized examples.
Searching a phone number returns the owner's name, location, profile photos from linked apps like WhatsApp, and every platform that number is registered on — all in one view.
An email search maps out every platform that address is registered on — social networks, productivity tools, review sites, and more — even if the person used a different display name on each one.
Upload any photo and IRBIS finds where that face appears online — useful for verifying profile pictures, identifying catfish accounts, or finding someone's other social profiles from a single image.
There are two kinds of "free" — and they're very different. Here's what you actually get with each one.
Most people think of people search as a name lookup. But some of the most useful searches start with something else entirely.
Start with any piece of information. IRBIS connects the dots automatically.
Used by individuals, businesses, and fraud teams — here are the situations where people reach for IRBIS.
An honest look at what each tool does — and what it doesn't.
FastPeopleSearch.com — Free, US only, shows home addresses, phone numbers, and relatives from public records. No social media data, no username search, no international coverage.
Spokeo — Paid with limited free results, US focused, some social media links but coverage is inconsistent.
BeenVerified — Subscription-based, US focused, includes criminal records. Better for formal background checks. Weaker on digital identity and social profiles.
Whitepages — One of the oldest directories. Good for basic US contact info. No digital identity features at all.
