BeenVerified pricing varies by the offer shown at signup, but recent 2026 responses published by BeenVerified document a common $1 seven-day trial that automatically renews at $32.89 every 30 days unless canceled before the trial ends. Other promotional or app-based prices can differ, so the renewal price displayed on your own checkout screen is the number that matters.

BeenVerified is primarily a public-record and people-search service. It can be used for searches involving names, phone numbers, email addresses, properties, vehicles, and other available public-record information. However, BeenVerified explicitly says it is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which means its reports cannot be used for employment, tenant, credit, insurance, or other decisions that legally require an FCRA-compliant consumer report.

Article Highlights

• A common current BeenVerified offer is a $1 seven-day trial.
• Recent 2026 BeenVerified customer-service responses show the trial renewing at $32.89 (at $30 per hour, earning that amount would take about 1.1 hours of work, before taxes) every 30 days unless canceled.
• Pricing can vary by promotion, account, platform, and signup offer.
• The current trial terms documented by BeenVerified limit the seven-day trial to 100 reports.
• A $1 trial followed by 12 renewals at $32.89 would total $395.68.
• The first $32.89 renewal alone is nearly 33 times the $1 trial price.
• Normalized by time, the trial costs about 14 cents per day, while a $32.89 30-day renewal costs about $1.10 per day.
• BeenVerified says subscriptions continue automatically until canceled.
• You can currently cancel through online support, email, a contact form, live chat, or other support channels provided by BeenVerified.
• BeenVerified is not an FCRA-compliant employment or tenant screening service.

How Much Does BeenVerified Cost?

The clearest current pricing evidence comes from BeenVerified itself. In multiple 2026 responses to customers published by the Better Business Bureau, BeenVerified says accounts were created with a $1 seven-day trial and automatically converted to a $32.89 monthly subscription when no cancellation request was received before the trial ended.

BeenVerified has also published the same $32.89 renewal structure in current responses on other consumer-review platforms. Pricing can still vary. Some users may see a different trial fee, promotional rate, app-store subscription, or longer-term offer.

For that reason, do not treat $32.89 as a permanent universal rate. Before submitting payment information, record the trial charge, renewal price, renewal date, billing interval, and cancellation instructions displayed on your own signup page.

How a $1 Trial Can Become $395.68

The low trial price is useful only if you understand what happens afterward.

Using the current documented offer:

Seven-day trial = $1

Recurring subscription = $32.89 (about 1.1 hours of work at $30 per hour) every 30 days

If the membership remains active for 12 paid renewal cycles:

$32.89 × 12 = $394.68

Add the original $1 trial:

$394.68 + $1 = $395.68

So a purchase that begins with a $1 charge can ultimately result in $395.68 of spending across the trial and the following 12 renewal periods if the subscription remains active and the price does not change.

The first monthly renewal by itself is:

$32.89 ÷ $1 = 32.89

or nearly 33 times the original trial charge.

This is why the auto-renewal date is more important financially than the advertised trial price.

What Does a BeenVerified Membership Include?

The current BeenVerified Android app listing, updated in July 2026, describes the service as a way to search publicly available information using names, phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses.

Current search categories include:

• People search for available contact information, relatives, addresses, and certain public records
• Reverse phone lookup for information potentially associated with an unfamiliar number
• Reverse email search
• Property search for available deeds, mortgages, and property-value information
• Vehicle search using a VIN
• Publicly available court and criminal-record information where available
• Unclaimed-money search through the website
• Dark-web monitoring through the website where offered

The presence of a category does not guarantee that every search will return complete or current information. Public-record databases can contain gaps, outdated entries, similar-name matches, missing jurisdictions, and information that requires independent verification.

BeenVerified should therefore be understood as a convenient aggregation and search tool rather than an authoritative substitute for the original court, government, property, or licensing record.

What You Cannot Use BeenVerified For

This is the most important limitation for businesses, landlords, employers, and anyone making eligibility decisions.

BeenVerified’s current app description states that the company does not provide consumer reports and is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its permitted and prohibited use guidance restricts uses that require FCRA compliance.

Do not use a BeenVerified report to decide:

• Whether to hire, fire, promote, retain, or reassign an employee
• Whether to hire a nanny, caregiver, domestic worker, or other household employee where an FCRA-compliant report is required
• Whether to approve a residential tenant
• Whether someone qualifies for credit
• Whether someone qualifies for insurance
• Whether someone qualifies for certain educational opportunities
• Other eligibility decisions requiring an FCRA consumer report

The Federal Trade Commission explains that employers using third-party background reports for employment decisions have specific obligations under the FCRA, including disclosure, authorization, accuracy, and adverse-action requirements.

Tenant screening is similarly regulated. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau explains tenant-screening rights and the protections that apply when landlords use consumer reports to make housing decisions.

If you need a report for employment, housing, credit, insurance, or another regulated eligibility decision, use a service designed to provide legally compliant consumer reports for that purpose rather than BeenVerified.

For the broader cost of compliant screening products, see our guide to background check costs.

Report Limits and Subscription Mechanics

The old description of BeenVerified as simply providing “unlimited searches” is too broad.

In a current company response describing its signup terms, BeenVerified says its seven-day trial is limited to 100 reports. That is very different from unlimited access during the trial.

BeenVerified also says its paid subscriptions are recurring and are not based on whether the subscriber actually uses the service. Not running another search does not stop billing.

That distinction matters. A user who runs one search, closes the browser, and never returns can still be charged at the next renewal if the membership remains active.

The precise feature limits of paid accounts can change with the subscription or offer, so check the current plan description rather than relying on an old claim of “unlimited background checks.”

If the seven-day $1 trial allows as many as 100 reports, a person who actually used all 100 would have a theoretical trial cost of:

$1 ÷ 100 = $0.01 per report

But someone who needs only one report still pays the same $1 trial charge, and the important cost is the $32.89 recurring subscription if the trial is not canceled.

The Daily Price Jumps After the Trial

The trial and paid membership cover different lengths of time, so comparing only $1 with $32.89 exaggerates the change in the daily access price. We can normalize both periods.

Seven-day trial:

$1 ÷ 7 = $0.143 per day

Thirty-day renewal:

$32.89 ÷ 30 = $1.096 per day

Compare the two:

$1.096 ÷ $0.143 = 7.66

So even after correcting for the different billing periods, the paid subscription costs about 7.7 times as much per day as the $1 introductory trial.

There are other potential hidden costs to watch:

• Sales tax may be added depending on location.
• App-store pricing may differ from direct website pricing.
• Promotional prices may expire and renew at another rate.
• Unused subscriptions continue billing until canceled.
• Multiple accounts created with different emails can create separate recurring subscriptions.

A practical way to avoid surprises is to take a screenshot of the payment screen showing the exact renewal terms before subscribing.

How to Cancel BeenVerified

BeenVerified currently provides several cancellation routes.

The BBB business profile containing information supplied by BeenVerified says subscribers can cancel through customer service, email, the online Contact Us form, or live chat.

The company’s current Contact Us page should be the starting point for a web subscription.

When canceling:

• Use the email address associated with the account.
• Have the membership ID available if requested.
• Cancel before the next renewal date.
• Save the confirmation email or screenshot.
• Check the next bank or card statement to verify that recurring billing stopped.

Recent BeenVerified responses say cancellation prevents billing for the next cycle once properly processed.

Refunds should not be described as an automatic universal seven-day guarantee. Current 2026 customer-service records show BeenVerified issuing refunds in a number of individual disputes, with the company noting that a processed refund may take up to 10 days to appear depending on the financial institution.

That does not mean every charge qualifies for a refund. If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact BeenVerified promptly and ask for the account history, cancellation status, billing explanation, and refund determination in writing.

Privacy, Accuracy, and Removing Your Information

BeenVerified aggregates information from public records and other available data sources. That makes it convenient for looking up information, but it also means reports can be incomplete or contain outdated or incorrectly matched data.

Do not assume that an arrest record, address, relative, property, phone number, or other item belongs to the person you intended to search simply because it appears in a report. Verify consequential information with the original government or official source.

BeenVerified also provides a process for requesting that personal information be suppressed from its people-search results. Suppression from BeenVerified does not erase the underlying court, property, government, or other source record.

The current Google Play privacy information also says users can request deletion of data associated with the app or account.

If you’re researching contact databases for marketing rather than individual public-record research, our guide to the cost of buying an email list covers a different type of data service and its associated costs.

Three BeenVerified Cost Scenarios

Case 1: You use the $1 trial and cancel

You sign up for the current documented seven-day trial, run the searches you need, and successfully cancel before renewal.

Total subscription cost:

$1

Any applicable taxes or different promotional terms shown at checkout could change the final amount.

Case 2: You miss one renewal

You pay the $1 trial charge and forget to cancel before the subscription converts to the current documented $32.89 rate.

Total after the first renewal:

$1 + $32.89 = $33.89

Compared with the intended $1 trial spend:

$33.89 – $1 = $32.89 extra

This is why someone who needs only one short search period should set a cancellation reminder as soon as the trial begins.

Case 3: Subscription remains active for a year

The $1 trial converts into 12 recurring $32.89 payments.

$32.89 × 12 = $394.68

Including the original trial:

$394.68 + $1 = $395.68

At a $30-per-hour wage comparison:

$395.68 ÷ $30 = 13.19 hours of work

So an unused subscription left active for those 12 renewal periods would consume the equivalent of more than 13 hours of gross earnings at $30 per hour.

BeenVerified can be useful when you actually need repeated public-record searches. It becomes poor value when a recurring account stays active after the research is finished.

If you’re comparing subscription economics more broadly, our guide to the cost of Aaptiv illustrates how recurring membership pricing can differ from one-time purchases.

Answers to Common Questions

Recent 2026 company responses document a recurring rate of $32.89 every 30 days after certain trial offers. Other promotions or platforms may display different prices, so verify the exact renewal amount shown at signup.

Does BeenVerified have a $1 trial?

Yes. Multiple current 2026 BeenVerified responses document a $1 seven-day trial. The trial automatically renews into a paid subscription if it is not canceled before the end of the trial period.

How much can the $1 BeenVerified trial cost if I forget to cancel?

Do not assume every plan provides unlimited reports. Current documented trial terms cap the seven-day trial at 100 reports. Paid-plan limits and included tools can vary, so review the exact plan shown when subscribing.

Can I use BeenVerified to screen employees?

No. BeenVerified says it is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and its reports cannot be used for employment decisions requiring FCRA compliance.

Can landlords use BeenVerified to screen tenants?

BeenVerified says its reports cannot be used for tenant eligibility decisions requiring an FCRA-compliant consumer report. Landlords should use a legally appropriate tenant-screening provider.

Can I cancel BeenVerified online?

Yes. Current company information describes several cancellation methods, including online support, email, the Contact Us form, and live chat. Save the confirmation after canceling.

Does BeenVerified give refunds?

Refunds are handled according to the circumstances and current terms rather than one universal automatic rule. Recent company responses show refunds being issued in some cases. Contact support promptly if you believe you were billed incorrectly.

Can I remove myself from BeenVerified?

BeenVerified provides a suppression or opt-out process for people-search results. Removing a result from BeenVerified does not delete the original public records held by courts, counties, property offices, or other source databases.
