DeleteMe Alternative and Services Like DeleteMe Compared on Price and Proof

DeleteMe costs $129 a year for one person and sells yearly plans only. The services people switch to are cheaper (Incogni, Optery, EasyOptOuts), deeper (Optery Ultimate, Kanary Advanced) or more transparent about each removal (Deindex). Run the scan first to see which sites list you by name.

No account needed. Adding a city and state is what lets us tell your record apart from everyone who shares your name.

The short answer

The best DeleteMe alternative depends on why you are leaving. Incogni ($95.88 a year) and Optery Core ($39) are cheaper, Optery Ultimate ($249) and Kanary Advanced ($500) reach more sites or handle targeted threats, and Deindex ($49 a month or $288 a year) files every request under a named legal basis with a dated before-and-after screenshot as proof.

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; two-year plans $209, $349 and $499. Annual billing only, no monthly plan. US residents only, auto-renews. Full refund before your first privacy report, pro-rated after. Verified September 2026.

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 the legal basis or a dated screenshot per removal, and there is no monthly billing option, only annual.

Price, side by side

Services like DeleteMe and what they cost per year

DeleteMe is not the cheapest option and never has been. One person pays $129 for a year, two people pay $229 and four pay $329. There is no monthly plan, so you commit to a full year upfront, and the plan renews automatically.

Most people who search for a DeleteMe alternative are comparing the rows below. The cheap end is crowded: Incogni Standard, Optery Core and EasyOptOuts all undercut DeleteMe for one person. Deindex costs more than DeleteMe for one person, and the reason to pay it is the evidence you get per removal and the option to pay month to month.

Published yearly US prices for one person, checked September and October 2026
Service and plan One person per year Monthly billing Family option
DeleteMe $129 No $329 for 4 people
Incogni Standard $95.88 $15.98/mo $191.88 for 5 people
Optery Core $39 $3.99/mo Discount per member, up to 30% off
Optery Ultimate $249 $24.99/mo Discount per member, up to 30% off

Match the reason

Which DeleteMe alternative fits your reason for switching

If the bill is the problem, Incogni and Optery Core do the same core job for less. Incogni is automated and sends requests to 420+ brokers. Optery Core covers 380+ sites and shows screenshots of where you were found. EasyOptOuts is the lowest price on the market at $19.99, with a rescan every four months and no dashboard.

If coverage is the problem, look at Optery Ultimate (635+ sites, custom requests up to 950+) or Kanary Advanced, which adds social media, AI results and attorney general escalation. If the problem is that you cannot tell what DeleteMe actually removed, that is the gap Deindex is built for: each request names the law it went out under (CCPA and CPRA, GDPR Article 17, or the broker's own opt-out) and each resolved listing gets a dated before-and-after screenshot you can hand to an employer, a security team or a lawyer.

Households

DeleteMe alternative for a family

DeleteMe stops at four people on its family plan, at $329 a year. A household of five has to buy a second plan. Incogni Family covers five for $191.88 and Deindex Family covers five for $588 a year with proof per listing, so the choice is the same trade-off as for one person: lowest price, or a record of every removal.

Per person, that works out to $82.25 on DeleteMe for four, $38.38 on Incogni Family for five and $117.60 on Deindex Family for five. Optery and Kanary do not sell a flat household price; they discount each added member instead.

Where DeleteMe wins

When DeleteMe is still the better buy

Stay with DeleteMe if you value a long-running service with human privacy experts on every plan and you are happy to pay yearly. Its two-year plans also bring the price down, to $209 for one person over two years, which is cheaper per year than Deindex Personal.

DeleteMe is also simpler to share inside a small household of two to four people, since everyone sits under one account and one renewal date.

Where Deindex wins

When Deindex is the better DeleteMe alternative

Pick Deindex if you need to show that a listing came down, not just be told. Every resolved listing on Whitepages, Spokeo, TruePeopleSearch and the other people-search sites gets a dated before-and-after screenshot, and every request names its legal basis. If a broker relists you, the request is filed again automatically.

Deindex also lets you pay $49 month to month instead of committing to a year, and you can run the scan before paying to see your exposure count and the first sites that list you by name.

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, with a dated screenshot, not just a report that a request went out.

If you are still shortlisting, our ranked breakdown of the best data removal service puts DeleteMe next to every other option on price and legal basis, and the personal data removal service page shows what a Deindex subscription files for you each month. The data broker opt out list covers what DeleteMe and Deindex both file on your behalf, and the wider guide to removing your information from the internet explains what no provider can take down.

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.

DeleteMe alternative FAQ

Before you switch

It depends on what better means to you. Incogni and Optery Core are cheaper for the same core job, Optery Ultimate covers more sites, and Kanary Advanced handles targeted harassment. Deindex is better if you need proof, because each removal comes with its legal basis and a dated before-and-after screenshot.

EasyOptOuts at $19.99 a year, Optery Core at $39 a year and Incogni Standard at $95.88 a year all cost less than DeleteMe's $129 for one person. Incogni Family is also cheaper for a household, at $191.88 for five people against $329 for four on DeleteMe.

Incogni is cheaper and offers monthly billing, while DeleteMe uses human privacy experts and has a longer track record. Incogni also covers five people on its family plan against four on DeleteMe. Neither publishes a dated screenshot or the legal basis for each removal.

No. DeleteMe sells one-year and two-year plans only, starting at $129 a year for one person. If you want to pay month to month, Incogni ($15.98), Optery ($3.99 to $24.99) and Deindex ($49) all offer monthly billing.

Yes. Listings DeleteMe already removed stay down until a broker relists you, so switching does not undo past work. Start the new service before your DeleteMe plan ends, so someone is re-filing when brokers republish your profile.

Compare the numbers yourself: DeleteMe charges $129/yr for one person, $229/yr for two people, $329/yr for a family of four; two-year plans $209, $349 and $499. Annual billing only, no monthly plan. US residents only, auto-renews. Full refund before your first privacy report, pro-rated after. Verified September 2026. Deindex Personal is $49 a month, or $24 a month billed yearly. We are not always the cheapest option in the category, EasyOptOuts and Incogni both undercut us, and we say so. What we add is a cited legal basis and dated evidence on every removal.

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.
