TraceCheck

Free Free to use — no account needed.

Enter a person and the professional role they claim (recruiter, hiring manager, investor). This runs a live public-footprint search and returns an advisory footprint-consistency score.

This score is an advisory signal only. A low score means little verifiable public footprint was found for the claimed identity — it is not a determination that anyone is untrustworthy or acting in bad faith.

Photo checks use a metered external service, so they need a free account — sign in free to run one (3 per account). The text footprint check below stays free and needs no sign-in.

Frequently asked questions

What does TraceCheck do?
TraceCheck is footprint-based OSINT fraud screening: it scores a subject from 0 to 100 with supporting evidence gathered from public search-footprint signals, so you can gauge whether a claimed professional identity has the public presence it should.
Do you store the photo or name I enter?
The optional photo is held in memory only for the few moments the reverse-image check needs it — never written to disk or a database — and is automatically deleted within minutes. Because the reverse-image check uses a metered external service, it needs a free account (3 photo checks per account); the text footprint check needs no sign-in. The name and claimed role you enter are recorded as part of the check record so the advisory result can be produced and returned to you; they are not published or shared.
How many checks are free?
Three checks per IP per 30 days, after which a paid tier applies.
What data sources does it use?
Public search-footprint signals via Serper — no private or paywalled data.
