The shortlist
Leak-Lookup is a data breach search engine sold per lookup, with a search API that plugs into OSINT tools. Teams usually start comparing when they search often or need to keep watching: every exposed account of a domain, the service a stolen password was used on, alerts when new credentials appear. Each tool below is described from its own documentation, and each entry says when it is the better fit.
At a glance
| Tool | Best for | Full comparison |
|---|---|---|
| LeakRadar | Domain and account investigations across stealer logs, combolists, raw files and dark web forums | LeakRadar vs Leak-Lookup ↓ |
| DeHashed | Field-by-field breach lookups with WHOIS tools | LeakRadar vs DeHashed ↗ |
| Snusbase | Querying breach tables and hashes through an API | LeakRadar vs Snusbase ↗ |
| LeakCheck | Fast lookups by email, username or phone number | LeakRadar vs LeakCheck ↗ |
| Intelligence X | Historical archives beyond credentials | LeakRadar vs Intelligence X ↗ |
Why teams look beyond Leak-Lookup
Leak-Lookup searches breach data by email address, username, IP address, phone number, domain, password or full name, and returns results grouped by breach. Its search API has documented integrations for SpiderFoot, h8mail and iKy.
It follows a pay-per-lookup model, with free searches that return limited results. Teams that run frequent searches or monitor domains over time often compare that model with a subscription. [1]
How we compared
We read each vendor's public product pages and documentation, then compared the same three points for every tool: what you can search, the context you get for each match, and what happens next (alerts, exports, API). We did not run a coverage benchmark: the size of a database says little about how many useful matches it holds for your own domain. Test that with the same authorized scope in each tool.
Data methodology ↗- 01Best for
LeakRadar
Domain and account investigations across stealer logs, combolists, raw files and dark web forums
LeakRadar starts from a domain or an email address. Domain results are sorted into employees, third parties and customers, and each stealer-log record keeps the service URL where the credentials were captured. Monitoring alerts go to Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram or a webhook, and large exports run as background jobs in CSV, TXT or JSON. Credentials stay masked until you unlock them, and the available datasets depend on your plan.
- Research scope
- Search stealer logs (url:user:pass), combolists (email:pass / user:pass), raw leak files and dark web forum posts, according to your plan.
- Investigation context
- Inspect the exposed password alongside the account and, for stealer logs, its service URL. When the source includes plaintext, that detail helps your team scope password resets and investigate exposed access.
- Follow-up
- Get notified via Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram or Webhook when new exposed credentials match your monitored domains or email addresses. Examine plaintext passwords and service URLs. Export CSV, TXT or JSON, or connect your security tools through the REST API.
- 02Best for
DeHashed
Field-by-field breach lookups with WHOIS tools
DeHashed lets you search breach records by fields such as email, username or IP address. It adds WHOIS tools for domain and infrastructure context, and domain monitoring with email and webhook notifications.
- Research scope
- Search across fields such as email, username and IP address. [3]
- Investigation context
- WHOIS tools add domain registration and infrastructure context. [6]
- Follow-up
- Domain monitoring with email and webhook notifications. [4]
- 03Best for
Snusbase
Querying breach tables and hashes through an API
Snusbase suits analysts who prefer to query breach data directly. Its API supports multi-field and wildcard searches with source-table filters, plus combo, hash and WHOIS lookups, and API access comes with paid membership.
- Research scope
- Searchable breach data, combolists and previously cracked password hashes. [7]
- Investigation context
- API searches support multiple fields, wildcards and source-table filters. [8]
- Follow-up
- API endpoints include combo, hash and WHOIS lookups for custom workflows. [8]
- 04Best for
LeakCheck
Fast lookups by email, username or phone number
LeakCheck is built for fast lookups by email, username or phone number across breach and infostealer data. Its paid plans add breach monitoring, alerts to Telegram, email, Slack, Discord or webhooks, and API access.
- Research scope
- Breach and infostealer data, with search types that vary by plan. [9]
- Investigation context
- Pro API supports several lookup types and detailed results on eligible plans. [10]
- Follow-up
- Monitoring and Telegram alerts, plus BulkCheck for multiple lookups. [9]
- 05Best for
Intelligence X
Historical archives beyond credentials
Intelligence X covers more than credentials: archived web content, leaks and dark web material across many source categories. Its Identity Portal returns line-level results and leaked-account exports. Licenses are split between research, API, Identity Portal and enterprise use.
- Research scope
- Search across archived web content, leaks, dark-web material and other source categories. [12]
- Investigation context
- Identity Portal provides line-level results and leaked-account exports. [13]
- Follow-up
- Paid licenses include alerts; API and export entitlements vary by license. [13]
Leak-Lookup alternative for stealer logs and monitoring
Pay-per-lookup searches or continuous investigation
You need stealer logs with the service URL, domain results sorted into employees, third parties and customers, and monitoring with alerts.
Put LeakRadar to work ↗You want pay-per-lookup breach searches, or its search API inside tools such as SpiderFoot or h8mail.

File lines, not a count of unique accounts.
UpdatedPlaintext passwords, with their account context
Inspect the exposed password alongside the account and, for stealer logs, its service URL. When the source includes plaintext, that detail helps your team scope password resets and investigate exposed access.
Compare plans for plaintext access and included unlock points.
Stealer logs
Connect a captured login to its service URL, username and password to understand which access is exposed.
url:user:passCombolists
Find email/password and username/password pairs, including records without a service URL.
email:passuser:passRaw leak files
Search the text of leaked files, database dumps and unstructured records beyond normalized credential fields.
Dark web forums
Search indexed forum posts for mentions of your organization and examine the discussion's source context.
Get notified via Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram or Webhook when new exposed credentials match your monitored domains or email addresses.

Questions before switching
Does Leak-Lookup have an API?
Yes. Its documentation describes a search API, with a free public key limited to a daily number of requests and private access for businesses. LeakRadar also provides a REST API, with access depending on your plan.
Is Leak-Lookup priced per lookup?
Yes. Its site describes a pay-per-lookup model, with free searches that return limited results. LeakRadar works with plans, and points-based plans use unlock points to reveal masked credentials.
Does LeakRadar show which website a stolen password was used on?
For stealer logs, yes. Each record keeps the service URL where the credentials were captured, next to the account and, when the source contains it, the plaintext password.
How does LeakRadar send alerts?
LeakRadar monitoring sends alerts by Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram or webhook when new exposed credentials match a monitored domain or email address. The number of monitored assets and the available channels depend on your plan.
Can I test LeakRadar before switching?
Yes. A free account lets you explore the search features and monitor your signup email in stealer logs. Run the same authorized queries in both tools, then compare the useful matches rather than the result counts.
