File lines, not a count of unique accounts.
UpdatedPlaintext passwords, with their account context
Inspect the exposed password alongside the account and, for stealer logs, its service URL. When the source includes plaintext, that detail helps your team scope password resets and investigate exposed access.
Compare plans for plaintext access and included unlock points.
Stealer logs
Connect a captured login to its service URL, username and password to understand which access is exposed.
url:user:passCombolists
Find email/password and username/password pairs, including records without a service URL.
email:passuser:passRaw leak files
Search the text of leaked files, database dumps and unstructured records beyond normalized credential fields.
Dark web forums
Search indexed forum posts for mentions of your organization and examine the discussion's source context.
Get notified via Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram or Webhook when new exposed credentials match your monitored domains or email addresses.

Questions before switching

No. Your team handles account remediation in its own identity systems. LeakRadar provides findings, monitoring and exports.
Can the products complement each other?
Yes, if separate investigation access helps your team. Evaluate additional useful context before adding another subscription.
