Start with what each service is for.
DeHashed describes itself as a security and investigation tool that collects sensitive data posted on the clear web and deep web, so users can search breached usernames, email addresses, IP addresses, names, hashes and more [2]. Its search covers email, username, IP address, name, address, phone and VIN, plus a domain scan, and it publishes a guide to search operators and regex [2]. Alongside search it offers breach monitoring, an API, and historical WHOIS and reverse WHOIS data [1].
DeHashed has both free and paid tiers. Its Standard monitoring plan is free with up to 10 tasks. Domain monitoring costs $29.99 per domain per month, and the Enterprise level costs $99.99 per month [3]. The API is pay-per-query, with 500 credits for $15.00, and needs a Search subscription [4]. The FAQ lists analysts, journalists, cybersecurity companies and everyday people among its users and says DeHashed works with law enforcement agencies. Government, law enforcement and non-profit organizations get free access. To limit abuse, DeHashed rate-limits searches and locks accounts that search many accounts that may not belong to them [5].

| What to compare | DeHashed | Vuxep Verified organization workspace |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Breach data search for security and OSINT investigations, plus monitoring, an API and WHOIS history. [1] | Credential-exposure investigation and monitoring, limited to an organization's own verified domains. |
| Data sources | Data posted on the clear web and deep web. The FAQ says it also includes people-search (white pages) databases. [5] | Credential exposure evidence for verified-domain investigations, including available account and service context. |
| Who can search what | Account holders can search many identifier types. Anti-abuse controls include rate limiting, locks on accounts that search many accounts that may not belong to them, and some sensitive data that only law-enforcement-status users can access. [5] | Only domains the organization verifies with a DNS TXT record: search by website domain tree, exact hostname, work-email domain or exact work email. Other organizations' accounts cannot be searched. |
| Organization monitoring | Task-based monitoring with alerts by text message, email or webhook. Domain monitoring is a paid add-on. [3] | Nightly organization dashboard, employee exposure profiles, priority rules for critical services and privileged emails, branded PDF reports, and alerts for newly indexed matches. |
| API and integrations | Pay-per-query API sold in credit packs (500 credits for $15.00). Using the API requires a Search subscription. [4] | No public customer API yet. Notifications go out by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord and signed webhooks, and authorized users can export CSV within verified scope. |
| Access and pricing | Free Standard monitoring (10 tasks), domain monitoring at $29.99 per domain per month, Enterprise at $99.99 per month. Government and non-profit organizations can ask for free access. [3] | Sales-led plans for organizations. No free public search, no self-serve signup. |
Choose DeHashed if this sounds like you.
DeHashed is likely the better fit if you need self-serve OSINT lookups across many identifier types, including names, phones, addresses and VINs. It also suits teams that want historical WHOIS, low-cost pay-per-query API access, or free monitoring for a few identifiers.
Consider Vuxep for verified-domain investigations.
Evaluate Vuxep when several colleagues need to investigate company credential exposure with different permissions. Ask a viewer to inspect an employee profile, ask an administrator to configure a priority and alert, then review the audit trail and redacted report. This makes the team workflow a concrete part of the comparison.
A Vuxep result is indexed evidence, not proof that a password still works. First-indexed dates describe when a record entered the index, not when a breach or infection happened.
DeHashed
alternatives, answered.
Is DeHashed free?
Partly. The Standard monitoring plan is free with up to 10 tasks, and domain monitoring and Enterprise monitoring are paid [3]. API access is sold as credits and requires a Search subscription [4]. DeHashed also gives free access to government, law enforcement and non-profit organizations [5].
Is DeHashed legal and safe to use?
DeHashed says it works with law enforcement agencies and logs how many records a user accesses, not which ones. It also rate-limits searches and locks accounts that look up many accounts that may not belong to them [5]. Whether a particular search is lawful depends on your jurisdiction and purpose. Companies should limit lookups to accounts they are responsible for.
Does DeHashed have an API?
Yes. DeHashed sells pay-per-query API credits, starting at 500 credits for $15.00, and says a Search subscription is required to use the API [4].
What is the best DeHashed alternative for companies?
It depends on the job. For broad OSINT lookups and WHOIS history, DeHashed is still a strong option [1]. A company that wants credential-exposure search limited to its own verified domains, with employee exposure profiles, alerts and reports, can consider Vuxep. Vuxep is sales-led and has no public API.
