Mozilla Monitor alternative
Deindex vs Mozilla Monitor: a Mozilla Monitor alternative that proves removal
Mozilla Monitor (monitor.mozilla.org) charges Mozilla shut down the paid Monitor Plus data-removal tier on December 17, 2025, so automatic broker removal is no longer sold. Only the free breach-alert scan remains; it tells you where your data has leaked but no longer files removals on your behalf. Monitor Plus had been priced around $8.99/mo yearly ($107.88/yr), later about $13.99/mo, before it closed. Deindex is from $19/mo billed yearly ($29 monthly), shows a free unblurred scan, and attaches a cited legal basis and a dated before/after screenshot to every removal, not just a completed-removal count.
The honest picture
What Mozilla Monitor actually is
Pricing
Mozilla shut down the paid Monitor Plus data-removal tier on December 17, 2025, so automatic broker removal is no longer sold. Only the free breach-alert scan remains; it tells you where your data has leaked but no longer files removals on your behalf. Monitor Plus had been priced around $8.99/mo yearly ($107.88/yr), later about $13.99/mo, before it closed.
Where Mozilla Monitor is strong
The free Mozilla Monitor breach scan still works and is genuinely useful for seeing which known data breaches include your email address, backed by the Firefox maker's brand and privacy reputation.
Where it falls short
The paid Monitor Plus removal service is gone as of December 2025, so it no longer opts you out of data brokers or people-search sites at all. If you subscribed for automatic removals, you now need a different service to keep your listings down, because breach alerts alone do not take anything offline.

Why people switch
Why people move from Mozilla Monitor to Deindex
-
Monitor Plus closed on December 17, 2025, so you need a live service that actually files broker and people-search removals, not just breach alerts.
-
You want dated before-and-after proof that each listing came down, which Monitor never provided even at its paid tier.
-
You want each removal filed under a named legal basis (CCPA and CPRA delete, or GDPR Article 17 erasure) and re-filed when a broker relists you.
If you are still shortlisting, our ranked breakdown of the best data removal service puts Mozilla Monitor next to every other option on price and legal basis. Want to try the free route first? The data broker opt out list covers what Mozilla Monitor 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, Mozilla Monitor 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.

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.
