Choose an Osintly alternative by lookup type

Use Search to check a username or email across several sources. Use the Google module if you only need Google account information.

Free username and email searches

If you used osint.rocks for a quick first check, start with Osintly Search.

1. Enter a username or complete email address.

2. Check the detected input type.

3. Select Run free preview and complete the verification step.

4. Open the available result cards and follow the relevant sources.

You don't need an account to run a free preview. It can show a limited selection of module cards and account or breach summaries, depending on the identifier and source responses.

Free previews have quotas and may use cached results. The preview link remains available for 15 minutes in the same browser session. It does not include full result details, raw leak datasets, exports, AI analysis, or saved account history. Our free OSINT search guide explains the limits.

Two people can use the same username. Compare profile links and public account details before linking the accounts.

A free GHunt alternative for Google account research

If your main reason for visiting osint.rocks was its Google lookup, open the Osintly Google module.

It accepts an email address and looks for the linked Google account. Depending on what is publicly available, it can return:

Open the module page, choose Start Search, enter the email address, and run the lookup. It works in your browser without a local installation.

If you used GHunt for Google account lookups, you can try this module for the same type of research. Results may differ from GHunt and depend on what the account makes public. The module cannot read private inbox messages or private calendars.

The individual Google lookup is available for free, with usage limits. Check the module page for the allowance that applies to your session or account.

Continue with domains and IP addresses

For domain and IP lookups, use our dedicated tools.

Domain Intelligence checks DNS records, HTTP responses, certificates, registration details, and website technologies. You can also view archived versions of a website.

IP Intelligence covers network and ASN information, routing, reverse DNS, approximate geolocation, and available passive exposure or reputation signals.

These tools have their own access and usage rules. They are separate from the free username and email preview. Review current plans if your research needs broader access or saved results.

Common questions about osint.rocks alternatives

Is osint.rocks permanently shut down?

Its official homepage says it is taking a temporary break and intends to return. That was the message when we checked on October 2, 2026; no firm reopening date was listed.

Can I search on Osintly for free?

Yes. Osintly Search offers limited free previews for usernames and email addresses without requiring an account. The Google module also supports free individual lookups. Usage limits apply to both.

Does Osintly replace every osint.rocks feature?

The services don't have identical features or results. Osintly has username and email previews, a Google account module, and separate domain and IP tools. Check the relevant page for the data you need.

What if a lookup returns nothing?

An account may be private, or the source may be unavailable or rate-limited. No result doesn't necessarily mean no account exists. Check the source directly when possible.
