The short answer
DeleteMe (joindeleteme.com) charges $129/yr for one person, $229/yr for two people, $329/yr for a family of four. Annual billing only. Deindex is $29 a month, or $14.50 a month billed yearly, and attaches a cited legal basis and a dated before-and-after screenshot to every removal, not just a completed-removal count.
The honest picture
What DeleteMe actually is
Pricing
$129/yr for one person, $229/yr for two people, $329/yr for a family of four. Annual billing only.
Where DeleteMe is strong
The category's brand leader. A large team of human privacy experts files the opt-outs for you, and the name carries real recognition.
Where it falls short
The free scan is email-gated and blurs your results before you pay, so you cannot see the truth first. DeleteMe does not publish how many brokers it actually covers, and there is no monthly billing option, only annual.

Why people switch
Why people move from DeleteMe to Deindex
-
You want to see your exposure count and the first sites by name before you hand over your email or your card, the way the Deindex scan shows it.
-
You want a monthly option instead of committing to a full year upfront.
-
You want each removal to cite the legal mechanism it was filed under, not just a report that a request went out.

Our differentiator
We sell proof and legal standing, not a count.
Every provider in this category, DeleteMe 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.
