Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 84 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the payment process, reporting unexpected charges and difficulty understanding the true cost of services. Customers also found the subscription model problematic, often experiencing unexpected monthly fees after trial periods or due to unclear subscription terms. The pricing was a significant concern, with many feeling that the initial low cost quickly escalated to much higher, unexpected charges. Reviewers frequently encountered issues with cancellation, stating that their attempts to cancel subscriptions were often unsuccessful, leading to continued billing. Though some people found the information provided useful and accurate, a few other people also felt that the website was misleading, promising reports that were unavailable or charging for information that could be found for free elsewhere.

Mad as HELL…

I must have accidentally clicked on this sponsored site. I did NOT order or request any services from them in any way shape or form. I have Samsung Pass set up on my phone. So I am not sure if that's how they stole my information or not. But three attempts of $34.99 were made on my card in the middle of the night! These people or someone working there are theives. I ordered NOTHING! We need a button for Minus stars in this case. It doesn't matter that it was for $34.99. They probably do this 24/7. That said, I plan to call the Better Business Bureau and make a formal complaint. Further I suggest anyone that has had the same experience do so too!

Hi there Lily,

Thank you for contacting us.

We completely understand your concerns regarding the account.
Ownerly wants our customers to be aware of the billing prior to creating an account with us.

When signing up for our services the terms and conditions in addition to the privacy policy are required to be agreed to prior to signing up.

Each customer must agree to these terms before successfully creating the account.

This way our customers confirm they are fully aware of the charges including the date to cancel the trial.

Our subscriptions are not based on usage; they are recurring subscriptions that will continue to renew until a customer cancels as stated in the agreed terms.

Our records do not indicate a previous request to cancel the account, in this event the account continued to renew as stated in the agreed terms.

All accounts are created on the users end.
Additionally, we have matched all identifying details against the account.
Full name, email address and phone number match.

However, Ownerly prides itself on understanding our customers' concerns.
We have cancelled your account and no further charges will be applied.

If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Poor customer Service…

Service request to cancel service was placed after the 7 day free trial. OK, I have been charged for 1 month, but I have not had access to my reports during this prepaid time. And can not reach a customer service by phone or chat.

Hi there Doug,

Ownerly is an easy-to-access collection of public record information sourced from official government records and other sources of publicly available information.

As you just experienced, sometimes the information they collect is not always 100% correct. However, we can only work with the information provided to us within public data.

Because we do not create the information, we cannot edit the information.


Corrections occur through ongoing, systematic database updates.

So while we cannot edit your publicly available information to make corrections, please also know that we continuously strive to update and expand our databases in order to provide you with the most current and accurate information we possibly can.

Alternatively, if you would like to remove your listing from Ownerly's people search results, we provide an easy online opt-out process.

Please use the link below to opt your name out of Ownerly's people search results:
www.Ownerly.com/optout

To get started, click the link and use the search to locate and select your record.

You will then receive an email asking you to click to verify your request.

After you verify, we will send you an email confirming that the record you selected has been opted out.

If you are having trouble with the online process, or are receiving a message that you cannot use your email address, please reply to this email to let us know how we can help and we will get back to you as soon as possible with additional assistance.

This company is a Scam

This company is a Scam. I signed up for the 7 day trial period and input the address that I wanted to research for owners name on the deed. I got a list of addresses with pictures but not one of them was the property I was inquiring about.

Hi Mo,

Ownerly's database contains information collected from public records and publicly available data, compiled from thousands of different sources. Your ability to locate a specific individual in our database can be dependent on a number of factors, such as the amount of information collected on that individual by various government and private agencies, and the laws regarding public information in the state where the individual resides.

If you are unable to locate a particular individual in our database, please know that we continuously strive to update and expand our databases in order to provide you with the most current and accurate information we possibly can.

If you have any more questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Worthless. I submitted the waddress of a house in…

I submitted the address a house in my neighborhood and they told me the review was ready but I had to sign up for a 7 day trial. I had a choice of a $1.00 basic review or a $5.00 for the super duper review that I could print.
I sprung for the $5.00 one and when I got in it said they had no information on the address. So they were lying to start with. I tried 2 more addresses and they could not find anything on them either. They did find a little information on the fourth address, but it was very incomplete.
I canceled my trial but they kept my $5.00.
Sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes you don't. I didn't.

Hi there,

The information in our reports comes from aggregated public records and publicly available data. Property sales data can come from the municipal office responsible for recording real estate transactions in the area. Parcel information may come from county records. The report may also contain tax assessment, mortgage data, and much more. We are dependent upon the data that has been made digitally available by county records and other public sources.

If we are missing data on a property, please know that we are constantly updating and expanding our database to provide the most accurate and comprehensive reports we can.

If you are seeing no results for your property search, please first check to see that you have entered the address correctly. If you were trying to search an apartment or suite, please try searching without the apartment number to return any data we have about the building. If we do not have any results for a property, we do not currently have any data for the address you searched. We are continuously adding to our database to be able to return data on more properties and improve the information we provide.

I ran one property for my architect husband then immediately cancelled the trial. I have since been charged 2 times. Reported fraud to bank so was issued a new debit card. Well this morning somehow charges from Ownerly have appeared on my NEW card. I DO NOT HAVE AN ACCOUNT with this company. Will be reporting to the BBB, consumer affairs and my back tomorrow as today is a Sunday.
I was widowed on august 30th 2024 and cannot afford nor have the time or energy to fight.

Incredibly slow

Incredibly slow! Unlike Zillow or Redfin, which work off free public information, Ownerly wants my email to spam me and $1 up to 25 reports! With this business model, I only see one future for this scam—oops, I mean company, sewage!

I was looking for deed information for a property I own in the US and the information that was presented from Ownerly's database was both comprehensive and accurate. It was very helpful for me as now I know there are some modifications needed as the deed was not properly recorded with the county. Thank you. Michael Z
