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.

Was looking for information on a home owner that may have been taking an advantage of people and wanted to check who owned the house. I believe that information that I found was not updated or the owner is being fraudulent.

I saw my home that I have owned for over 20 years listed by different owners names. I called and asked to have it corrected and was told it could not be corrected. I asked where they got the owner information and was told it was public sources. The owner names given have never been owners of this property. They then asked if I was a member. It costs to become a member which would still not correct the erroneous data. Very disturbing.

Hi Mary,

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.

The website is misleading

The website is misleading. If you order a single report that isn't what you get. You end up with a monthly subscription. The product is okay but not worth the trouble of setting up an account and cancelling if all you want is one report.

Edited in response: your offer is misleading - I'm not the only one who has said that. If I only want one item why do I have to subscribe? Because you know that people forget their subscriptions. Because you don't get reports until about 24 hours later, there is a good opportunity that people will get stuck in a subscription.

Hi there,

When signing up with Ownerly, you can choose the kind of subscription you want: monthly or quarterly. With a subscription, you have access to run multiple reports. Even if you only wish to run one report, simply sign up and run one report. If you are sure you don't wish to use your access to run numerous background reports and run other searches on names, phone numbers, email addresses, and properties, then simply contact us when you wish to cancel, and you won't be billed further. We pride ourselves on offering great customer service, and fast responses.

One of the reasons that we offer subscriptions is so that you can try out all of our different features, including different ways to search: name, phone, email, and property. In addition, the information in our reports comes from public records. People move, get married, change jobs, phone numbers, etc so public records are always changing. We are constantly updating and expanding our database to provide the most accurate information we possibly can. With a subscription, you have access to our Monitoring feature, which checks for any changes in your monitored reports every 30 days and notifies you as soon as any information has changed.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.

Charging me illegally

I canceled within the trial window. They emailed saying it was a confirmed cancellation. They have been charging me since. I have now requested my refund 2x.
