OneScan explained

OneScan is a special Module that runs a single search across several data sources at once and merges the results into one view. Where a single-source Module queries exactly one data source, OneScan fans out across many, then shows you which data source each result came from. This is why it carries the coral-orange RECOMMENDED badge: it gives you the broadest coverage a Search type offers in one run.

What OneScan is

OneScan takes one input — for example a single username — and queries multiple data sources simultaneously, combining everything it finds. In the Search Results, the Data Source column tells you which data source produced each row, so a merged OneScan result stays fully attributable back to its origin.

It appears, badged RECOMMENDED, in most Search types — including Username Intelligence, Email, Phone, People, Picture, Public Leaks, and Court Records. Its short descriptor on the card reads “Multi-source scan” in Username Intelligence and “Multi-source leak scan” in Public Leaks.

The description panel for the Username version reads:

“Run a single username search across multiple data sources simultaneously, then compare results side by side for comprehensive coverage.”

When OneScan is the selected Module, the query field is labelled Username (in Username Intelligence).

Note

OneScan is a UserSearch Module, not a third-party data source. It is the aggregator you click; the data sources are the external data sources it queries on your behalf. Use the canonical name OneScan — not multiscan, multi-search, or combo search.

Why it is recommended

OneScan is the vendor-recommended choice whenever you want maximum coverage from a single search. Instead of running the same input through each single-source Module one at a time, you run OneScan once and let it collect from every data source you have enabled. That breadth — several data sources merged into one attributable result set — is the reason it is badged RECOMMENDED across the Search types that offer it.

OneScan vs Bulk search

These two are independent and are easy to confuse:

Feature	What varies	Meaning
OneScan	data sources	One input, many data sources
Bulk search	Inputs	Many inputs, one Module

They are orthogonal and can be combined. Bulk search is capped at 5 queries per search (per Lee, 2026-07-08).

Choosing which data sources OneScan queries

Each OneScan Module has a gear (settings) icon that opens its Choose Data Source modal. This modal lists the individual data sources OneScan can query, each with its own checkbox toggle and its own per-search cost.

A captured OneScan modal (Username Intelligence) showed:

• Username Search (Data: Predicta) — enabled — Cost per search: $0.50
• Username Search (Data: OsintIndustries) — enabled — Cost per search: $0.70
• A Total cost: $1.20 line summing the two enabled data sources.

Each data source row carries its own ”?” info icon. Toggling a data source off removes its cost from the total and narrows which data sources OneScan queries — this is the lever you pull to trade coverage against spend.

Below the data source list sits a Remember my choice and hide this from future searches checkbox, with helper text: “You can always come here from the [gear] menu.” The modal footer carries three buttons: Close (×), Reset (↻), and a primary coral-orange Apply Filters. Apply Filters commits your selection to the pending search; Reset restores defaults; Close or × dismiss without committing.

Caution

Whether the data source toggles shown in the Choose Data Source modal are per-session defaults or a persisted preference is not yet confirmed. The Remember my choice checkbox is understood to persist the selection and suppress the modal on later OneScan searches, but this behaviour is not yet verified. Likewise, the exact set of data sources OneScan defaults to in each Search type has not been confirmed — treat any captured selection as an assumed default until verified.

How OneScan is priced

OneScan uses the dynamic cost tier. Its price is literally the sum of the data sources left toggled on in the Choose Data Source modal, so the total moves up or down as you enable or disable data sources.

A OneScan search costs the sum of all the data sources left selected (per Lee, 2026-07-08).

In the composer, the OneScan Cost per search line was captured reading:

Cost per search: $1.20 | Dynamic (0.50 - 1.20)

Reading that example:

• The ceiling ($1.20) is Predicta ($0.50) + OsintIndustries ($0.70), with both data sources enabled.
• The floor ($0.50) is the cheapest single data source left on.
• The value in the composer always matches the Total cost line inside the modal.

This dynamic model is what sets OneScan apart from the other two cost tiers: free Modules (0 credits) and fixed Modules (a single unchanging price, such as whole Search types like Vehicle). Costs are denominated in Credits and debited from your main search-credits balance when a paid search runs.

Note

The S.A.R.G.E. (AI Agent) feature draws from a separate Credits pool; the two wallets are topped up and spent independently (per Lee, 2026-07-08).

Running a OneScan search

1. Choose your Search type from the composer header.
2. Select the OneScan Module card (badged RECOMMENDED).
3. Open Choose Data Source (the gear icon) and toggle the data sources you want, then click Apply Filters.
4. Confirm the Cost per search — it is the sum of the data sources you left enabled.
5. Type your query and click Search Now.

The merged results populate the Search Results panel, with the Data Source column identifying which data source each row came from.
