• Cost -The industry is young, but it has come a long way. Cost-effectiveness is a result of the fierce competition. The value-for-money is what people of the days of investigators and advertisements could only dream of, and at only a fraction of the cost.

• Discretion – Most, if not all credible record providers, guarantee identity and privacy protection. As little information as just the name and state of residence is enough to activate an anonymous search with no traceability.
• Support – Customer support and service are very competitive. It is usually 24/7 and free of charge. Above that, paid subscriptions are generally backed by money-refund guarantee.
