Spokeo runs on a recurring subscription. A $0.95 trial auto-renews into a monthly charge, commonly around $19.95 to $29.95, whether you use it or not. ScraperCity has no subscription. Start with 250 free searches, then pay $0.0199 per result and run as many as you need.
No. ScraperCity has no monthly plan and nothing to auto-renew. You add credit, you spend it on searches, and you stop whenever you want. There is no recurring bill to cancel.
ScraperCity pulls from multiple public record sources and returns up to 5 phones and 5 emails per person with current and previous addresses, relatives, and associates. Spokeo users frequently report addresses that are years out of date and phone numbers that are disconnected.
Yes, a card is required to create an account, but you get $5 in free credit, which is 250 searches, and you are only charged for results.
Not for everything. Spokeo is a consumer app that also pulls in social media profiles and photos. ScraperCity focuses on contact and public record data: phones, emails, current and previous addresses, relatives, and associates. If you want to reach or locate people at volume without a subscription, ScraperCity is a strong fit. If you specifically want social media aggregation, Spokeo does that and ScraperCity does not.
