Intelius-specific things to know

Intelius subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan type. These tips cover common edge cases and billing details.

Free trials auto-renew at full price
Many Intelius users start with discounted trials that automatically convert to full-price subscriptions. Check your plan details to see when the next charge occurs.
Premium reports charge separately
Some detailed background reports have additional fees beyond your monthly subscription. These appear as separate charges on your billing statement.
Access continues until billing period ends
After cancelling, you can still use Intelius features until your current billing cycle ends. You won't lose access immediately upon cancellation.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing and help you avoid any billing issues.

1. Check your next billing date

Intelius typically bills monthly or annually. Cancel before your next billing date to avoid being charged for another cycle. You can find this date in your account settings.

2. Download any reports you need

Once you cancel, you may lose access to previously purchased reports. Download or save any information you want to keep before completing the cancellation.

3. Note any pending charges

If you've recently purchased premium reports, those charges may still process even after subscription cancellation. Check your recent activity before cancelling.

Other options to consider

If cost is your main concern, you might consider downgrading to a cheaper plan or pausing temporarily instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your Intelius plan

Intelius offers multiple subscription tiers with different features and pricing. You can switch to a lower-tier plan to reduce costs while keeping some access.

  • Basic - Limited searches per month

  • Premium - More searches and detailed reports

  • Premier - Unlimited searches and premium features

Switch Your Billing Cycle

Intelius offers both monthly and annual billing options. Annual subscriptions typically provide significant savings compared to month-to-month plans.

Save up to 30% with annual billing

Negotiate a Deal

Some users report success contacting Intelius customer service for retention offers or discounted rates, especially for long-term customers considering cancellation.
