Why people look for a CheckPeople alternative
Most people who search for a CheckPeople alternative have one of three problems. The trial renewed into a monthly charge they did not expect, they could not find a cancel button and were told to call, or the report listed a criminal record without saying which county it came from.
- CheckPeople does not post one fixed price list. Reviews and cancellation guides from 2024 to 2026 report a monthly membership anywhere from about $27.65 to $44.85, depending on the offer.
- Many offers start with a trial of about $1 for 5 days that renews into the monthly membership unless you cancel in time.
- Cancellation guides list a phone number, (800) 267-2122, and an email address as the ways to cancel, and advise doing it at least three business days before the billing date.
- CheckPeople says it is not a consumer reporting agency, the same as every people search brand, so its reports are for personal use only.
None of this makes CheckPeople a bad product. It runs unlimited reports in a month and its reports are easy to read. It does mean the cost depends heavily on how and when you cancel.
MugshotLookup compared with CheckPeople and similar sites
CheckPeople figures below come from independent reviews and cancellation guides published between 2024 and 2026. They do not agree with each other, so the table gives the range. The TruthFinder and BeenVerified prices come from October 2026 offers and recent reviews.
| What to compare | MugshotLookup | CheckPeople | TruthFinder | BeenVerified |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One month | $34.95 | About $27.65 to $44.85, depending on the offer | About $28 to $30 | About $36.89 |
| Lowest effective monthly price | $17.45, billed annually | About $17 to $23 on multi month terms | About $23 to $24 on a 2 month plan | About $24 on a 3 month plan |
| Is the price posted before the search | Yes, on the pricing page | Shown at checkout | Shown at checkout | Shown at checkout |
| Try before paying | Demo searches without an account, no card | About $1 for 5 days, then the monthly plan | No trial in 2026 reviews | About $1 for 7 days on some offers |
| How you cancel | Online, one click | Phone or email, per cancellation guides | Online or phone | Online or phone |
| Source and date on each arrest record | Yes, with a link to the official agency | Summary report | Summary report | Summary report |
| Case outcome next to the arrest | Yes, when the court reports it | Where available | Where available | Where available |
| Booking photos | Where state law allows and the source provides them | Listed in reviews as available | Where available | Where available |
| Arrest alerts on a person | Included, 5 people on the base plan | Not listed in reviews | Paid add-on | Available |
| Single report without a membership | One free report with every account | About $29.95 in one 2025 review | Not offered | Not offered |
CheckPeople wins on one thing that is fair to say out loud. If you catch a multi month offer, its lowest monthly figure sits close to our annual price without a twelve month commitment. If you want two months of broad people search and nothing more, that can be the cheaper buy. If your question is about an arrest and what the court did with it, a record that names its source saves you the second search.
What a MugshotLookup report shows for an arrest
Every arrest and booking is its own row with its own source. You can open the county roster or the court page from the row and read the original before you act on it.
- Booking date, arresting agency, charges at booking and bond, where the source publishes them
- The case outcome next to the arrest when the court reports it, including dismissed and dropped charges and acquittals
- Age, city and booking date on each row, so two people with the same name do not get mixed up
- Booking photos only where state law allows commercial display and the source provides them
- Reverse phone, email and address lookups in the same membership
- Email alerts when a new booking or filing appears for a person you follow, 5 people on the base plan
The Plus plan adds Enhanced Criminal Records, Court Records Search and Nationwide Search for people who check records every week. An arrest is not a conviction. Charges may have been dropped, dismissed or resulted in acquittal.
How to stop a CheckPeople charge before you switch
A CheckPeople membership keeps renewing until it is cancelled, and closing the browser tab or deleting the app does not cancel it. Card statements usually show the charge as CHECKPEOPLE.COM or CHECKPEOPLE followed by the support phone number.
Find the last charge on your card statement and write down the date and the amount. The next renewal falls one billing period after it.
Call the support number shown in the statement descriptor, or email support, at least three business days before that date. Have the account email and the last four digits of the card ready.
Ask for a confirmation by email that states the end date, and keep it.
Check the next statement. If a charge appears after the confirmed end date, send the confirmation to support first, then to your card issuer if it is not reversed.
Run the same name and state in the search form on this page, and see which official sources cover that county before you pay for anything else.
What a year of each option costs
Most people sign up to answer one question and then leave the membership running. Here is what twelve months come to before tax.
| How you pay | Cost over 12 months |
|---|---|
| CheckPeople monthly, at the lower reported price of about $27.65 | About $332 |
| CheckPeople monthly, at the higher reported price of about $44.85 | About $538 |
| TruthFinder monthly plan, renewed every month | About $337 to $360 |
| BeenVerified 3 month plan renewed four times | About $288 |
| MugshotLookup Unlimited, billed annually | $209.40, arrest records and alerts included |
| MugshotLookup Unlimited, monthly | $419.40 |
If you need one answer this week, our monthly plan is not the cheapest way to get it, and a single month elsewhere that you cancel on time costs less. If you check on people through the year, an annual plan with arrest records, sources and alerts costs about $120 to $330 less than a CheckPeople membership left running.
How to switch from CheckPeople in four steps
Cancel the CheckPeople membership by phone or email and keep the written confirmation.
Enter the name and state you were checking in the search form at the top of this page. The results show which sheriff's offices and courts cover that county before you create an account.
Pick a plan on the mugshot lookup cost page. Annual billing halves the monthly price, and the renewal terms sit next to each plan.
Add the people you check on to arrest alerts by email, so a new booking reaches you without another search.
Who should pick MugshotLookup over CheckPeople
It suits people whose question is about an arrest. A mother who wants to know whether her son was booked last night and which jail holds him. A woman checking a match before a first date. A man who saw a neighbor's name in a police blotter and wants to know what the court did with the charge. For each of them the source and the outcome matter more than a list of old phone numbers.
It suits less if you mainly want contact details, relatives and address history, or a single report bought once. A contact focused service fits that better, and our Spokeo alternative and sites like Whitepages pages compare those prices honestly. If you came from Radaris after it went offline, the Radaris alternative page covers that case.

Questions and answers
Is CheckPeople legit?
Yes, CheckPeople is a real people search service that sells reports built from public records. The complaints in reviews are mostly about billing, in particular a low priced trial that renews into a monthly membership and cancellation that goes through phone or email. Read the renewal terms under the checkout button before you pay.
Is CheckPeople free?
No. CheckPeople lets you start a search without paying, but opening a report needs a paid trial or a membership. Reviews and cancellation guides from 2024 to 2026 report a trial of about $1 for 5 days and a monthly membership of about $27.65 to $44.85 after it.
How do I cancel my CheckPeople subscription?
Cancel a CheckPeople subscription by calling the support number shown next to the charge on your card statement or by emailing support, at least three business days before the next billing date. Give the account email and the last four digits of the card, and ask for an email confirmation with the end date.
Does CheckPeople cost money?
Yes. CheckPeople charges for every full report, through a trial of about $1 that renews, a monthly membership reported at about $27.65 to $44.85, or a single report at about $29.95 according to one 2025 review. The exact figure appears at checkout and changes with the offer.
What is the best alternative to CheckPeople?
The best CheckPeople alternative depends on what you were searching for. For arrest records and mugshots, MugshotLookup fits because every arrest names the agency and the date and links to the official page. For contact details and address history, Spokeo or Whitepages are the closer match.
Does CheckPeople show arrest records and mugshots?
CheckPeople reports include a criminal and arrest records section, and reviews list mugshots among the things it can return. The records come as a summary, so the report often does not say which county or court holds the original. Confirm any entry with the agency before you rely on it.
