Sherlockeye vs AliaScan — FAQ
Is there a cheaper Sherlockeye alternative?+
AliaScan sells one-time reports and an unlimited plan rather than monthly search credits, which usually works out better if you only need occasional username lookups instead of an ongoing investigation workflow.
Does AliaScan use AI like Sherlockeye?+
AliaScan's value is in the live checks themselves — 400+ platforms queried in parallel with direct links to what it finds. Sherlockeye layers AI agents over a broader multi-identifier source set; the two suit different jobs.
