TruthFinder Free Trial: What $1 Gets You and Cancelling
Date Published

No, TruthFinder is not free, but it does offer a $1 trial. The trial gives unlimited reports for 5 days, then the membership you picked bills until you cancel. TruthFinder says any free membership offered elsewhere is bogus. Here are its prices, how to cancel and a free way to check one phone number.
- Free: no, every report needs a paid membership
- Trial: $1 for 5 days of unlimited reports
- After the trial: $29.73 a month on the monthly plan
- Cheaper per month: $23.66 on 3 months, $20.83 on 6 months
- Cancel: online or by phone, before the trial ends
Just need one phone number checked? See the carrier, line type and location free. No membership to cancel for the preview, and the person is never notified.
Is TruthFinder free?
The short answer is no, and TruthFinder says so itself.
No. You can type a name or number into the search box without paying, and the site shows that a report exists, but every report sits behind a paid membership. There is no free report and no free tier.
Does TruthFinder have a free trial?
Be careful with sites that promise a free TruthFinder account. TruthFinder warns that these offers are not real, so only sign up on truthfinder.com itself and read the total shown at checkout before you confirm.
There is a $1 trial, not a free one. TruthFinder's own page says "Is TruthFinder Free? No, But We Do Have A Trial" and offers unlimited reports for 5 days. When the 5 days end, the membership you picked starts. To avoid the charge, cancel before the trial ends.

For comparison, Deepscanner shows the record types it scans while it searches.
How much does TruthFinder cost?
From TruthFinder's pricing page on 27 October 2026:
Plan | Price | Billed |
|---|---|---|
Trial | $1 | Once, for 5 days of unlimited reports |
Monthly membership | $29.73 a month | Every month |
3-month membership | $23.66 a month | Every 3 months |
6-month membership | $20.83 a month | Every 6 months |
PDF downloads and report monitoring | $4.99 a month | Added to the membership |
TruthFinder describes memberships as costing "between $4.99 and $29.73" a month. The $4.99 figure is the PDF and monitoring add-on, not a full membership.
Plan for the renewal date. Put a reminder in your phone for day 4 of the trial, so you can cancel before the first membership charge if you only needed one search.
Is TruthFinder a subscription?
Yes. The trial converts to the membership you chose and renews until you cancel. On the monthly plan that is $29.73 every month. The 3-month and 6-month plans cost less per month but charge for the whole period at once.
Need one lookup, not a membership? The phone preview is free. Cancel in one click, and get your money back if nothing is found.
One more point on price: the 3-month and 6-month plans look cheaper per month, but they only help if you will keep searching for the full period. For a single check, the trial and a quick cancel is the lower total.
How do I cancel TruthFinder?
TruthFinder's help page says you can cancel online or over the phone. Do it before the 5-day trial ends to avoid the first membership charge.
- Log in to your TruthFinder account and open the account page.
- Choose cancel and keep the confirmation.
- If you cannot find it, use the phone option on TruthFinder's help page.
Is TruthFinder free to use?
Only the search box and a sample report. The pricing page links to a sample background report that shows the format, not a real person's data. Names, addresses and records only open with a membership. That is the same on most people search sites, so compare what the entry price buys:
TruthFinder | Deepscanner phone lookup | |
|---|---|---|
Entry price | $1 for 5 days | Free preview, then a low-cost trial |
Reports in the trial | Unlimited | Included in the trial |
After the trial | $29.73 a month | Exact price shown before you pay |
Free preview before paying | Shows that a report exists | Carrier, line type, location |
Cancel | Account page or phone | One click |
Refund if nothing found | Not advertised | 100%, request within 30 days |
Cancelling is also where people get stuck, so keep the confirmation and check your card statement a few days later. If a charge still appears, contact TruthFinder with the date and amount.
If you will run many searches in a month, TruthFinder's unlimited trial is the better deal. If you have one number to check, start with the free preview.
