MyLife Alternative and Sites Like MyLife for Arrest Records
MugshotLookup is a MyLife alternative for people who searched for a criminal record and found a reputation profile or a warning that someone "may have records." Each arrest row names the sheriff's office or court, gives the date and links to the official source. You can read our prices before searching and try demo searches without a card. Start by checking what the agency actually recorded.

When a MyLife alternative makes sense
A vague warning about someone you know leaves an awkward question. Is there an arrest, a traffic matter, an unrelated person with the same name or no matching record at all? Paying to read a profile does not remove the need to answer that question at the source.
- MyLife is a people search and reputation profile site. Its free basic profile can show a name, age range, city and relatives before you pay.
- A reputation score or a suggestion that records might exist is not evidence of an arrest. Look for an agency, a date and a matching official entry.
- MyLife has no public price list we can verify. Customer complaints and older guides describe different offers, so reported amounts are not a current official tariff.
- Complaints from 2024 to 2026 mostly concern billing and support, including unanswered emails, phone lines directing people to email and disputed charges.
If you only want to read a public MyLife profile or check what it says about you, you do not need to pay anyone. People who want their own profile removed can request removal through MyLife's removal process. A records membership serves a different purpose.
What the FTC and DOJ case says about record warnings
On December 15, 2021, the US District Court for the Central District of California approved a settlement in the case brought by the FTC and DOJ against MyLife and its CEO. The judgments totaled $33.9 million, with $21 million to be paid for consumer refunds.
The complaint said search results implied, often falsely, that a person might have criminal or sex offense records. One example involved treating a traffic violation as a criminal record. It also said that until 2019 subscribers could cancel only by calling customer service.
The order permanently bans MyLife from offering products with a negative option feature, including automatic renewal, and from implying that people have criminal or sex offense records when they do not. It also requires an FCRA compliance program. That order matters when reading older pricing guides. An old description of a renewing trial is not proof of the terms offered today.
The case does not tell you whether a particular person has a record. For that, you still need the sheriff's booking entry or the court file. Treat a teaser as an unverified suggestion, and avoid repeating it as a fact about someone.
MugshotLookup compared with MyLife and similar sites
MyLife amounts below come from customer complaints and older pricing guides, rather than an official price list. The reported offers span different periods and should not be treated as interchangeable. TruthFinder and BeenVerified figures use the same October 2026 offers and recent reviews as our Nuwber comparison.
| What to compare | MugshotLookup | MyLife | TruthFinder | BeenVerified |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One month | $34.95 | No verified current monthly list price | About $28 to $30 | About $36.89 |
| Lowest effective monthly price | $17.45, billed annually | Older guide reported about $5.95 on a 12 month plan, not a verified current offer | About $23 to $24 on a 2 month plan | About $24 on a 3 month plan |
| Price posted before the search | Yes, on the pricing page | No public price list we can verify | Shown at checkout | Shown at checkout |
| Try before paying | Demo searches without an account, no card | Free basic profile, with $1 trial lookups reported on older offers | No trial in most 2026 reviews | About $1 for 7 days on some offers |
| How you cancel | Online, one click | Account billing section or customer care by phone or email | Online or phone | Online or phone |
| Source and date on each arrest record | Yes, with a link to the official agency | A reputation score or teaser does not establish an arrest source | Summary report | Summary report |
| Case outcome next to the arrest | Yes, when the court reports it | Verify the outcome with the court | Where available | Where available |
| Booking photos | Where state law allows and the source provides them | Not established by a profile or teaser | Where available | Where available |
| Arrest alerts on a person | Included, 5 people on the base plan | Not verified | Paid add-on | Available |
| Single report without a membership | One free report with every account | Free basic profile, paid report terms depend on the offer | Not offered | Not offered |
MyLife wins if the task is simply to see its public profile. Name, age range, city and relatives may be enough to recognize the person or check your own listing. Buying MugshotLookup for that task would add an unnecessary bill. Choose an arrest search when you need an identifiable booking or court record.
Why a reputation score is not an arrest record
A reputation score is a site's assessment, not a booking entry or a court decision. Likewise, "may have a criminal record" does not name a charge, establish identity or explain an outcome. Even a matching name is insufficient when the county, age or dates do not fit.
Open the named sheriff's official jail roster or booking search and compare the person's identifying details with the entry. For the case outcome, use the court's official docket or contact the clerk if the public portal does not show it. Check the dates because a booking entry and a later court decision describe different stages of a case.
An arrest is not a conviction. Charges may have been dropped, dismissed or resulted in acquittal.
What the report helps you verify
MugshotLookup keeps the source and date beside every arrest row so you can check the original before relying on a summary.
- Booking details and charges where the agency publishes them
- Court outcomes when reported, including dropped charges, dismissals and acquittals
- A link to the sheriff or court holding the original record
- Booking photos only where state law allows and the source provides them
- Reverse phone, email and address searches in the same membership
- Arrest alerts for 5 people on the base plan
Unlimited includes these core searches. Plus and Professional plans are also available on the pricing page. Check the listed features against your needs before choosing. Every account includes one free report, and we do not sell a paid single report.
How to handle a MyLife charge before switching
Start with the account you already have. A new search elsewhere will not resolve an existing billing issue, and deleting a profile is a separate task from cancelling a paid service.
Find the charge and save the receipt or offer confirmation. Check which plan or trial you purchased rather than assuming an older pricing guide describes your account.
Sign in to MyLife and look in the account's billing section for the subscription and cancellation options.
If you need help, contact MyLife customer care by phone or email support@mylife.com. Ask for written confirmation that the subscription is cancelled and confirmation of its end date.
Keep the confirmation and your correspondence. If a charge appears after cancellation, contact your card issuer or PayPal and provide those records.
Return to the records question only after separating it from the billing dispute. You can try our demo searches without entering another card.
Recent complaints describe emails without a reply and phone lines that direct people to email. These are customer reports about support experiences, not proof that every cancellation fails or that every disputed charge has the same cause.
Compare the offer and the total bill
MyLife pricing reports include a $1 trial lookup, with 3 days on older offers, and $59.85 for three months. Complaints from 2024 and 2026 also report single charges of $155.40 and $179.40 for longer plans. An older guide listed about $5.95 a month on a 12 month plan up to $10.95 a month on a 3 month plan. These are reported ranges from different sources and periods, not an official current price list.
| How you pay | Cost or billing basis |
|---|---|
| MyLife trial lookup in older reports | $1, with 3 days on older offers |
| MyLife three month offer reported by customers and guides | $59.85 |
| MyLife longer plan charges in customer complaints | $155.40 or $179.40, with the actual term to be checked against the receipt |
| 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 over a year | $419.40 |
The TruthFinder and BeenVerified totals above cover a year. The MyLife rows describe reported individual offers because a verified current annual comparison is unavailable. MugshotLookup Unlimited costs $34.95 monthly or $17.45 per month billed annually. Read the billing period as well as the monthly equivalent on our membership plans.
For an occasional question, first check the official agency and the free report included with an account. An annual membership only makes sense if you expect to use it through the year. A low advertised monthly equivalent is not the amount charged when an annual plan starts.
Move from a profile warning to a source check
Resolve any MyLife subscription through billing or customer care and save written confirmation. Request profile removal separately if that is also your goal.
Enter the person's name and state in the search form above. Demo searches need no card and let you check available sources before choosing a membership.
Open the agency link for a possible match. Compare the person, jurisdiction and date, then check the court for the outcome.
If you need ongoing searches, choose a posted plan and set up arrest alerts for people you follow. The base plan includes alerts for 5 people.
Who should choose MugshotLookup over MyLife
It suits someone checking their own name after a MyLife warning, a person trying to verify a claim about a relative or someone checking a new acquaintance for personal reasons. Each needs a document that can be checked, rather than a score that leaves the underlying event unclear.
If you only want to see your MyLife profile or request its removal, start with MyLife. If you are comparing broad people search memberships after a billing problem, our Nuwber alternative and CheckPeople alternative pages explain those offers. For arrest research, choose based on the official sources available for the county you need.
What this search is for
MugshotLookup is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). You may not use this site or any information from it to make decisions about employment, tenant screening, consumer credit, insurance or any other purpose covered by the FCRA. Use it for personal research, including checking your own record. The FCRA requirements in MyLife's court order do not make MugshotLookup an employment or tenant screening service.
Questions and answers
Is MyLife legit?
Yes, MyLife is a real people search and reputation profile site. However, the FTC and DOJ case led to a court order banning misleading criminal record implications and negative option products. A real business can still display information that needs verification. Check any alleged arrest with the named sheriff or court.
Is MyLife free?
MyLife offers a free basic profile showing information such as a name, age range, city and relatives. Paid access depends on the offer presented to you. If you only want to see a public profile or check what MyLife says about you, you do not need to pay another service.
How do I cancel my MyLife subscription?
Cancel through your MyLife account's billing section or contact customer care by phone or at support@mylife.com. Ask for written confirmation and keep it with your receipt. If a charge appears after cancellation, contact your card issuer or PayPal with the confirmation and a record of your attempts to resolve it.
How much does MyLife cost?
MyLife has no public price list we can verify. Complaints and older guides report a $1 trial, $59.85 for three months and longer plan charges of $155.40 or $179.40. An older guide lists about $5.95 to $10.95 monthly across different terms. These are reported figures, not verified current offers.
What sites are like MyLife?
Sites like MyLife include Nuwber, CheckPeople, TruthFinder and BeenVerified for people search reports. MugshotLookup is an alternative when your question concerns arrests and you need an agency and date on each record. If you only want to read your free MyLife profile, switching to a paid service is unnecessary.
Does MyLife show arrest records?
MyLife may display criminal record claims, but a profile warning alone does not establish an arrest. Check whether the information identifies an agency, date and matching person, then verify it at the sheriff's office or court. An arrest is not a conviction. Charges may have been dropped, dismissed or resulted in acquittal.
Why does MyLife say someone may have a criminal record?
The wording is a teaser, not confirmation that an arrest exists. The FTC complaint said MyLife search results often falsely implied criminal or sex offense records, including by treating a traffic violation as criminal. The court order bans those misleading implications. Verify any current claim against an identifiable official record.
