DeHashed alternative: Seer compared
DeHashed and Seer overlap on one surface: searching breached credentials by email, username, IP, name, phone, password, hash or domain. DeHashed goes deeper on that one surface, with regex, wildcard and operator queries, extra fields such as VIN and address, a credit-metered API and historical WHOIS. Seer adds surfaces DeHashed does not describe: infostealer logs read as whole-device records, live username lookups across hundreds of platforms, US people search, and a free check that needs no account.
What DeHashed is
DeHashed describes itself as a public data search engine for security analysts, journalists, security companies and everyday people, built on data posted on the clear web and deep web. Alongside breach search it sells breach monitoring, a credit-based search API and historical WHOIS data, and says it focuses on business-to-business API sales.
Breach data search engine with monitoring, API and WHOIS history
Where each is the better pick.
DeHashed
- DeHashed documents regex, wildcard and operator-based search across its breach data, where Seer offers wildcard breach search on Pro and up.
- DeHashed searches fields Seer does not list for breach search, such as VIN and street address.
- DeHashed sells historical WHOIS and reverse WHOIS, which Seer does not offer.
- DeHashed sells its API on prepaid credits, so API use is not tied to a daily search allowance.
- DeHashed offers SMS breach alerts and free access for government, law enforcement, NGOs and 501(c)(3) organizations.
- DeHashed states it does not log the exact searches users make, while Seer writes every search to an audit log.
