Intelius offers:

US Search offers:

• Instant State Criminal Search - gives detailed physical description and cases (offenses, felonies charge clase, fines, sentences, dispositions, dates and more.)
• Advanced Background Check - gives statewide criminal check, bankruptcies, tax liens, small claims civil judgments, home value and property ownership, current address and up to 10 year history with available listed phone numbers.

Bottomline (summary of the background checks):

• All background checks are different, but Intelius is the most popular.
• US Search gives a better physical description than Intelius in their Instant Background Check.
• Intelius gives much more details into relatives, property ownerships and history into a person.
• The criminal reports seem to be close to identical (in both services).
• Pricing -- it's nearly identical, but Intelius seems to be a better deal for how much information and detail there is in the background checks.
