OSINT Industries alternative: Seer compared

Both tools take one identifier and look outward at search time: OSINT Industries and the Seer social accounts surface both find accounts tied to an email, phone number or username. The main difference is the data behind them. OSINT Industries works from publicly available sources and flags breaches through haveibeenpwned.com, while Seer also searches breached credential rows, infostealer device records and US public filings.

What OSINT Industries is

OSINT Industries is a UK-based investigation platform that takes an email, phone number, username, name or crypto wallet and returns the accounts and public data linked to it, gathered in real time. Results can be viewed as linked accounts, a map and a timeline, and worked further in its Palette visualisation tool. It is sold on monthly credit plans to professional users, with free access for vetted law enforcement, government, journalists and non-profits.

  • API access comes with its Intermediate plan at £49 a month, below the price of Seer Premium.
  • Vetted law enforcement, government, journalists and non-profits can apply for free access.

Seer

  • Seer searches breached credential rows and infostealer device records, neither of which the OSINT Industries site lists.
  • It has a Free plan with 10 searches a day and a no-account exposure check, where OSINT Industries has no self-serve free plan.
  • Monitors watch an asset or a whole domain and alert by email on every plan, or by webhook on Premium.

Questions.

Is OSINT Industries free?
OSINT Industries has no self-serve free plan; paid plans start at £19 a month for 30 credits. It offers a free trial to eligible parties and free access to vetted law enforcement, government, journalists and non-profits. Seer has a $0 Free plan with 10 searches a day.
Can OSINT Industries search stealer logs or leaked passwords?
Its site lists no stealer log or credential search; it flags which linked accounts were breached via haveibeenpwned.com. Seer searches breached credential rows and compromised device records from infostealer infections.
Does OSINT Industries store my searches?
OSINT Industries says it does not store searches or results made on the platform or through its API, and has no search history by design. Seer writes every search to an audit log with IP and user agent, produced only under valid legal process, and never sells searches.
Does OSINT Industries have an API?
Yes. API keys come with the Intermediate and Advanced plans, and results can be returned as JSON, PDF or CSV or streamed as modules finish. The Seer API comes with Premium and Team, is described in OpenAPI 3, and does not cover social accounts.
Which is better for finding accounts linked to an email address?
OSINT Industries is built around this lookup and adds map, timeline and graph views of what it finds. Seer checks over 100 sources by email for social accounts and also returns breach and device records keyed to that email.
How do I remove my data from OSINT Industries?
OSINT Industries says its results come from public sources, so you change your privacy settings on the platform that exposes the data. Seer suppresses rows keyed to an email you confirm through its takedown page.
