๐Ÿงฐ GuardDex Tool Inventory & Costs

Every third-party source GuardDex and OSINT Studio can call, what it adds, what it costs, and whether its key is alive. Status dots are live: GuardDex from Integrations & Keys (operator host only), OSINT Studio from its health endpoint. Prices were checked on 2026-10-25 and are listed as USD per month unless marked one-time or per lookup. Keys themselves are edited on the Integrations & Keys page, never here.

Things measured on 2026-10-25

  • Shodan account is plan oss: 0 query credits, API not unlocked. Host lookups work only intermittently on this tier. That is the "flaky", not the network. Membership is a one-time $49.
  • Twilio balance $4.89. Each report phone costs about $0.015 line-only or $0.025 with consent, so this is roughly 200 lookups before it stops.
  • Telnyx prepaid balance $10.00, about $0.004 per lookup.
  • HIBP is on Core 1 ($4.39/mo, 10 lookups/min), subscribed until 2026-10-26. Confirm it auto-renews.
  • People Data Labs free tier: 95 of 100 monthly credits left. A no-match probe returned 404 and spent 0 credits, so the key and account work. GuardDex has never called it.
  • Numverify still answers; paid window ends 2026-10-28. After that the key drops to the 100/month free plan or errors.
  • AbuseIPDB free: 1,000 checks/day (808 left today). VirusTotal public: 500/day, 74 used this month.

Re-test People Data Labs (costs 0 credits)

A no-match is free; a match spends 1 credit. Run on the server; the key is read from the OSINT config, never typed.
