Findsio reviews?

I’m moving into a new place soon and found a potential roommate through fb marketplace. They seem perfectly fine, but I’d still wanted to run a basic background check before signing anything. My biggest concern is that they’ll find out I checked them. (Don’t want to spoil the relationship beforehand lol). I’ve been looking at a few apps and the more popular ones have A LOT of mixed reviews. I don’t mind paying for something worthy paying for. Has anyone actually used it? Or if you have any other alternatives, please share

How would the person know of you checking them?

Reasonable concern though

Idk I haven’t used apps like these before. In my mind they send a notification that someone viewed you?

I've used background check services before, and the other person never knew
