Why people use BetterPro
Built to make finding a private investigator less of a gamble.
Licensed & background-checked
Every firm in our network is reviewed for licensing, where required by state law, and background-checked before we list them.
No pay-to-play rankings
We don't sell placement. Matches are based on who actually covers your area, not who paid the most to be seen.
Free to search and contact
Getting matched and reaching out to a firm never costs you anything.
You only pay if you hire
BetterPro doesn't charge you a fee. If you decide to work with a firm, you pay that firm directly, on whatever terms you agree to together.
Frequently asked questions
How much does this cost?
Nothing to search, nothing to get matched, nothing to contact a firm. If you decide to hire one, you pay that firm directly for their services — BetterPro never charges you a fee.
How are firms vetted?
Firms are reviewed for licensing, where required by their state, and undergo a background check before they're added to our network. Look for the badges on a firm's profile for specifics like "Licensed & Insured" or "Background Checked."
How fast will I hear back?
It varies by firm. Each profile lists a typical response time, and most firms get back to you within a few hours of a request.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. We only share the details you submit with the specific firm or firms you choose to contact. We don't sell your information to third parties.
What if I don't find a match in my area?
