02 // PIPL ALTERNATIVE
Looking for a Pipl alternative?
Pipl shut down. Intellig picks up where it left off — face recognition, 190+ country coverage, document-based search, and transparent per-query pricing. No six-figure annual contracts.
What Pipl left behind
Pipl was the industry standard for global identity resolution. When it wound down around 2023, US-centric consumer sites could not fill the gap. Investigators still need:
- Cross-border coverage in a single query
- Structured, linked person profiles
- A reliable B2B API
- A professional tool — not a consumer background-check site
