Netlas review
A broad OSINT platform for domain research, infrastructure mapping, and security investigations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Netlas is an internet-wide scanning and OSINT platform for cybersecurity professionals, threat researchers, penetration testers, and security teams. Its domain research capabilities include WHOIS lookups with registrant organization, address, phone, and email data, historical WHOIS records, and relationship searches across domains and contacts. It also combines DNS, IP WHOIS, SSL certificate, vulnerability, and internet scan data for broader infrastructure investigations.
The published plans show a freemium entry point. Community includes internet scan data, DNS and IP WHOIS lookups, 50 requests per day, downloads of up to 200 results, and 2.5K search results per month. Freelancer costs $49 per month or $40.83 per month with annual billing and adds domain WHOIS lookups, SSL certificates, CVE data, and private scanning. Business costs $249 per month or $207.50 per month with annual billing; its listed additions include advanced search filters, CVE search, threat intelligence data, and team access and data sharing. Corporate is $830 per month with annual billing, while Enterprise includes all available data, unlimited results per month, team access and data sharing, priority online support, and a custom API request rate limit.
Netlas is particularly suited to investigations that extend beyond a single WHOIS record. Advanced queries support logical operators, wildcards, regular expressions, fuzzy search, and proximity search, while private scanning, attack-surface discovery, and relationship mapping broaden its security use cases. Web and API access are complemented by CLI and Python SDK options, downloadable Domain WHOIS datasets, and ProjectDiscovery Uncover integration. Choose Netlas if you need connected domain, infrastructure, certificate, and vulnerability research. A simpler WHOIS-only workflow may be a better fit if internet-wide search, historical records, automation, or security datasets are not part of the requirement.
