Find out who they really are — before you get hurt.
Start with their photo, handle, or profile link. We check public sources and hand you one clear report where every single line is labelled — verified fact, red flag, or unknown. Never a guess sold to you as a fact.

You already know the feeling. You just don't have the facts yet.
The story doesn't quite line up. The photos feel borrowed. You've searched their name four times tonight and learned nothing. That's the gap we close — quietly, in about thirty seconds.
Certainty, not a second opinion from the group chat.
Three things no manual search and no gossip thread can give you.
Labelled evidence, line by line
Every statement is tagged Verified Fact, Source-Supported, AI Inference, Red Flag, or Unknown. You always know which is which — and we show you what we could not verify instead of quietly filling the gap.
No signup, no notification
Free preview in about 30 seconds. No account needed to see real findings, and the person you check is never contacted or alerted in any way.
Real findings before you pay
The free preview shows the actual score, two verified facts, two red flags, and a satirical line from your report — not a locked teaser wall.
Three steps. One clear answer.
No apps to install, no messages sent, no accusations. Just the public record, sorted.
Show us their photo or profile
Their photo, handle, or profile link. A name, city, or age sharpens the match even further.
We check public sources
Social profiles, company pages, directories, mentions, and archived snapshots. Nothing private, nothing guessed and called fact.
You get clarity
One report with the score, the evidence behind it, and the exact questions to ask next. Free preview first, then unlock the full file.
You can do this by hand. It just takes all night.
Most people try the manual route first. Here is what changes when you don't.
Doing it yourself
With Profile Flag
Hours of tabs, screenshots, and reverse-image searches
One photo or handle becomes one report in ~30 seconds
No way to tell if a photo is AI-generated or recycled
AI-photo and recycled-photo checks are part of every report
Contradictions get lost between apps and conversations
Every claim is matched against its source and cross-checked
Nothing to show a friend, nothing you can revisit later
A saved, shareable report you can delete at any time
22 platforms, and we tell you the truth about each one.
Dating apps have no public directory, so nobody can search them, and we say so instead of faking a result. Adult and creator platforms are checked on the full report. Every tile shows its real state.
Coverage board
6 confirmed matches of 19 checked
Every tile shows its real state. A tile only turns green when the page exists and names the handle — anything we could not verify says so.
Sample dossier · illustrative, not real subject data
Checking someone should never put you at risk.
You are allowed to want certainty. This is built so getting it stays private.
They never find out
We don't contact anyone, message anyone, or leave a trace on their profile. Nothing is ever sent to the person you check.
Public data only
No private accounts, no hacking, no background-check databases. Only what is already publicly visible, with the source shown.
Your search stays yours
Reports live in your account and nowhere else. Delete any check at any time. We never sell or share your data.
Six categories. Every line is labelled.
Other tools mix fact and guess. We don't — and we tell you what we couldn't verify, so you see the gaps too.
Verified Facts
Visible directly in your evidence or backed by a stored source.
Source-Supported
Public web result we found and link to, so you can check it yourself.
AI Inference
A pattern-based read, clearly labelled. We never sell guesses as fact.
Red Flags
Public-facing signals worth pausing on. Not accusations.
Unknown
Things we could not verify either way, called out so you know the gap exists.
Satirical Verdict
Sharp commentary on real findings. Never invented facts.
This is what you actually get.
Left: the profile as you see it. Right: the same profile after we check it against the public record.

The questions people actually ask.
Quick answers about red flags, catfish, and how Profile Flag works.
What is Profile Flag?+
Profile Flag is your trusted red flag checker. Give us their photo, handle, or profile link — a name works too — and get a factual report with verified facts, source-supported red flags, and the questions to ask, in about 30 seconds.
How do I know if someone I'm chatting with is real?+
Reverse image search their photos, look for matching social accounts under the same name and city, ask for a live video call with a specific gesture, and run a Profile Flag check to surface inconsistencies in one report.
What are the biggest red flags in online dating?+
Refusing to video chat, recycled stock photos, requests for money or crypto, story details that change between messages, and pushing off the dating app within 48 hours.
Will the person find out I checked them?+
No. We never contact, message, or notify anyone. Nothing appears on their profile and no trace is left. The check happens entirely on our side using public sources.
Is Profile Flag a background check?+
No. Profile Flag is a public-data review tool, not a background check or consumer report under the FCRA. We don't access private accounts and we don't make criminal accusations.
How much does it cost?+
Free preview, no signup. Solo plan is $7.99/month for 1 full check. Plus is $14.99/month for 5 full checks (most members pick Plus).
Then you can put the phone down
Stop guessing. Get the public record, sorted.
Free preview, no signup, and they are never notified. If there's nothing to find, that's an answer too.
