Quickstart
Register, run your first free search, and understand when it's worth upgrading to PRO.
1. Create your account
Register at osint-ui.com/register with email and password, or your Google account. No card needed for the free plan.
2. Run your first search
Once inside /app you'll see the desktop with the tool icons. On the Free plan you can already use, with no API key at all:
- Username Analyzer — search a username across hundreds of networks.
- Hash Analyzer — identify a hash type and check it against known malware.
- Dorks Generator — generate advanced Google queries for an email, domain or name.
Each one has a 5 uses/month limit on the free plan (resets on the 1st). The rest of the tools (including Investigation Graph) are locked on Free — you'll see a lock icon and a button to go PRO.
3. Connect your API keys (optional, but recommended)
Most PRO tools cross-reference data from external providers (Shodan, VirusTotal, Hunter, IPinfo...). In your account you configure your own free keys under Settings → API Keys — never mandatory, but the more you connect, the more results each search returns. See API keys (BYOK).
4. When to go PRO
It's worth it if:
- You need more than 5 searches/month on the free tools, or any of the other 17 tools.
- You want Investigation Graph — the correlation engine, the whole reason the platform exists.
- You're going to automate queries via the REST API or connect an AI client via MCP (that already requires the PRO+ plan).
Every paid plan is charged directly from the first click — no free trial, no commitment. See Plans & pricing.
5. Save what you find
With PRO you can save any result to Saved Investigations, group it into a case, and download a PDF or HTML report written in prose (not a dump of raw fields). See Saved investigations.
