It costs €79 a year for one person or €129 for five at its launch prices, includes a free scan and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and claims 1,500+ brokers. It is built for GDPR.

The honest picture

What CrabClear actually is

Pricing

€19.99 a month, €79 a year for one person at its launch price (regular €149), or €129 a year for five people (regular €299), billed in euros.

Where CrabClear is strong

One of the lowest yearly prices in the category, a five-person family plan for €129, a free scan, monthly removal cycles and a claimed 1,500+ brokers. Data is processed inside the EU, which matters to people who do not want a US company holding their details.

Where it falls short

Built around GDPR, which gives Europeans a legal right to erasure that most US residents do not have against US brokers. The 1,500 figure is global, the site does not publish which US people-search sites are covered, and the launch prices are marked as temporary.

Price, side by side

How much does CrabClear cost?

CrabClear sells three plans, all priced in euros on its pricing page. Monthly Flexibility is €19.99 a month for one person. The Individual plan is €79 a year, marked as a launch price against a regular €149. The Family plan covers five people for €129 a year, down from a regular €299. Every plan includes the same broker coverage, monthly removal cycles, a dashboard and email progress reports.

Two details matter before you buy. The launch prices are labeled as temporary, so ask what your plan renews at after the first year. And a US card is charged in euros unless you switch the page to dollars, so your bank may add a foreign transaction fee. The 30-day money-back guarantee applies to all three plans.

Reviews

Is CrabClear legit?

Yes. CrabClear is operated by meetergo GmbH, a company registered in Monheim am Rhein, Germany, which publishes its registration, managing directors and VAT number in the site's legal imprint, as German law requires. It takes payment through a normal checkout, offers a free scan before you pay and backs every plan with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What is thin is independent track record. Public reviews in September 2026 are mostly scam-checker scores, small directory listings and comparison posts from other removal companies. That does not make it a scam. It means you should use the free scan and the 30 days to check the results yourself: open the dashboard, pick five listings and search for them again after a month.

US coverage

Does CrabClear work for US residents?

CrabClear says it serves EU and US individuals, and it will send requests for American customers. The catch is the legal lever. Its process leans on GDPR rights, which give Europeans a right to erasure. A US resident outside California and a handful of other states has no general legal right to make a US people-search site delete a record, so removal depends on each site's own opt-out policy.

The 1,500+ figure is a worldwide count, and the site does not publish a list of which US people-search sites are included. Before paying, run its free scan and check that the sites showing your address, such as Spokeo, Whitepages, TruePeopleSearch or FastPeopleSearch, appear in the results. If they do not, the broker count does not help you.

Alternatives

CrabClear vs DeleteMe and Incogni

On price, CrabClear wins. €79 a year undercuts DeleteMe at $129 and Incogni at $95.88, and its €129 family plan beats both household plans. On the headline broker count, it also claims more than either. If you live in the EU, it is a strong pick.

For a US buyer the comparison flips on coverage you can verify. DeleteMe and Incogni are US-focused, publish long lists of US sites and have years of US reviews. Deindex costs more than all three, but every removal comes with the state law it was filed under and a dated before-and-after screenshot, and relistings are rechecked and refiled.

The verdict

Is CrabClear worth it?

For an EU resident, or a US buyer who mostly wants fewer spam calls at the lowest price, CrabClear is worth trying at €79. The money-back window makes it a low-risk test.

If you are paying because a stranger can find your home address, your phone number or your kids' names on a US people-search site, pay for coverage you can check. Deindex Personal is $49 a month or $288 a year, Family covers five people for $588, and you see the exact listings before you pay.

Why people switch

Why people move from CrabClear to Deindex

  • The listing you need gone is on a US people-search site, and you want to see it in the scan before you pay.

  • You want the state law behind each request and a dated before-and-after screenshot, not a count on a dashboard.

  • You would rather pay a US dollar price that does not change when a launch offer ends.

Our differentiator

We sell proof and legal standing, not a count.

Every provider in this category, CrabClear included, will tell you how many opt-out requests it sent. Deindex tells you which legal mechanism each request was filed under, GDPR Article 17, CCPA §1798.105, the broker's own opt-out policy, or Google's personal-information removal tool, and attaches a dated before-and-after screenshot to every resolution. That is what you hand a security team or a lawyer, a number on a dashboard is not evidence.

We also tell you what we cannot remove. Court records, news articles, and anything outside legal removal scope stay published, and we say so upfront rather than take your money for a promise we cannot keep. Currently 50+ data brokers and people-search sites are in the catalog.

CrabClear alternative FAQ

Before you switch

Yes. CrabClear is run by meetergo GmbH, a registered company in Monheim am Rhein, Germany, with its details in a public legal imprint. It offers a free scan, a normal checkout and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Independent reviews are still few, so test the results yourself during the refund window.

CrabClear costs €19.99 a month, or €79 a year for one person at its launch price (regular €149). The Family plan covers five people for €129 a year (regular €299). All plans include monthly removal cycles, a dashboard and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

CrabClear accepts US customers and sends removal requests on their behalf, but its process is built around GDPR, which does not give most US residents a right to erasure from US brokers. Run its free scan and check that the US people-search sites listing you are covered before you pay.

CrabClear claims 1,500+ data brokers worldwide and says it tracks 84% of known brokers. It does not publish the list, so you cannot see how many of those are US people-search sites. DeleteMe, Incogni and Deindex publish their US site lists.

For US people-search listings, pick a service that publishes its US site list. Deindex Personal is $288 a year and Family is $588 for five, with a cited legal basis and a dated screenshot per removal. Incogni ($95.88) and DeleteMe ($129) are cheaper US-focused options without per-removal proof.

No, and we say so. CrabClear's launch price of €79 a year for one person, and €129 for five, is cheaper than Deindex Personal at $288 a year or Family at $588. What the extra money buys with Deindex is US focus: requests that cite the California and other state laws that apply to US brokers, and a dated before-and-after screenshot of every listing we take down.

Yes. Enter your name, city and state at the top of this page and the scan checks our catalog of data brokers and people-search sites right away, with no card. You see the full count and the first five sites by name immediately, and a free account opens the rest of the report.

Neither service can remove news reporting, court filings, or other lawfully published public records, and any provider claiming otherwise is not being straight with you. See the honest scope on our terms page.
