CheaterBuster Alternatives: 5 Better Tools to Catch a Cheating Partner (2025)
By Healthwire Investigations
Last verified: April 25, 2025
In hands-on tests of 5 popular cheater-finding apps, CheaterBuster, CheatEye, Spokeo, and TruthFinder all failed to find accurate matches on three verified active dating profiles. In contrast, as of our most recent tests (April 25, 2025), CheaterScanner was the only tool that successfully found active profiles across Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge. We will update this article if future testing yields different results.
😕 Why Look for CheaterBuster Alternatives?
CheaterBuster is often one of the first tools people try when they suspect infidelity. But after personally testing it and reviewing recent negative feedback, we set out to evaluate other options fairly — to see which apps, if any, reliably identify active dating profiles.
✅ How We Tested These Alternatives
Three active Tinder and Bumble profiles were created with friends’ permission in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Each tool was tested on April 22–24, 2025, using the same names, ages, and cities. We rated tools on accuracy, speed, ease of use, and customer support, with the goal of giving an unbiased assessment.
📊 CheaterBuster Alternatives Tested
1️⃣ CheaterBuster
✅ Claim: Finds active Tinder profiles with name + age.
❌ Result: Failed all 3 tests. Returned “No profiles found” or mismatched results.
⭐ Verdict: Our April 2025 tests found CheaterBuster inaccurate, with unreliable support.
2️⃣ CheatEye
✅ Claim: Claims to show whether someone is active on dating apps.
❌ Result: Failed all 3 tests. Either returned no results or outdated profiles unrelated to our verified accounts.
⭐ Verdict: As of April 2025, CheatEye did not find any active profiles in our real-world tests.
3️⃣ TruthFinder
✅ Claim: Reverse phone/email lookups for background checks.
❌ Result: Found outdated social media or public records, but no active dating profiles.
⭐ Verdict: Effective for background checks but ineffective for detecting live dating activity.
4️⃣ Spokeo
✅ Claim: People search via phone, email, or social media.
❌ Result: Returned old LinkedIn and Facebook profiles but no signs of current dating app use.
⭐ Verdict: Helpful for identity lookups; not suitable for catching active cheaters.
5️⃣ CheaterScanner
✅ Claim: AI scans Tinder, Bumble, Hinge for active profiles.
✅ Result: In our April 2025 tests, CheaterScanner successfully identified all 3 active profiles, including recent photos and updated bios, across all three platforms.
⭐ Verdict: At the time of our testing, CheaterScanner was the only tool to provide accurate results for all profiles.
Based on our most recent testing, CheaterScanner delivered the only consistently accurate matches. It was also the only tool to cover multiple dating apps, include recent activity details, and provide clear reports.
✅ The Verdict: Which App Found Active Profiles?
| Tool | Accuracy | Apps Covered | Speed | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CheaterBuster | 0/3 | Tinder | Slow | Limited |
| CheateEye | 0/3 | Tinder/Bumble | Moderate | Slow |
| TruthFinder | 0/3 | Social/phone/email | Fast | Decent |
| Spokeo | 0/3 | Social/phone/email | Fast | Decent |
| CheaterScanner | 3/3 | Tinder/Bumble/Hinge | Fast | 24/7 live support |
*CheatEye’s website suggests Tinder and possibly Bumble, but coverage is unclear; our tests showed failures on both.
