Optery Pricing Per Plan and Cheaper Optery Alternatives

Optery costs $39, $149 or $249 a year for one person, or $3.99 to $24.99 on monthly billing. Deindex Personal is $288 a year, Deindex Family covers five people for $588, and every request names its legal basis. Run the scan to see which sites list you before you choose.

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

Optery costs $39 a year on Core, $149 on Extended and $249 on Ultimate, or $3.99, $14.99 and $24.99 a month on monthly billing, all for one person. Core is cheap but removes you under only one name and one city. Most buyers who have moved or changed names need Extended at $149. If you want a household covered or a legal basis per request, Deindex Family covers five people for $588 a year.

Where Optery is strong

The one to beat in this category: a free, unblurred exposure report with real screenshots, SOC 2 reporting, and PCMag Editors' Choice four years running.

Where it falls short

A completed removal is not the same as a cited legal erasure, Optery's opt-outs do not consistently name the statute behind the request. It is a consumer-first brand with its enterprise tier bolted on rather than built for procurement from the start.

Price, side by side

How much does Optery cost?

Optery has one free plan and three paid ones. Core is $39 a year, Extended $149 and Ultimate $249, and the same plans cost $3.99, $14.99 and $24.99 a month if you pay monthly, so yearly billing saves 17%. Every paid plan covers one person and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The jump that matters is Core to Extended. Core files removals under a single name, city and state, so an old address or a maiden name stays listed. Extended lifts that limit, adds a human privacy agent and quarterly screenshot reports, and reaches 560+ sites, which is why it is the plan most people end up paying for.

Plan by plan

What each Optery plan actually removes

Free Basic sends quarterly exposure reports with links to the listings and gives you self-service removal tools, but Optery files nothing for you. Core automates removals from 380+ sites with monthly scans. Extended covers 560+ sites with unlimited name variations and past cities, a privacy agent, removal reports with screenshots and a Google Maps home blur request.

Ultimate reaches 635+ sites on the automated list and adds unlimited custom removal requests for a total of 950+ sites, plus outdated content removal submissions to Google and priority email support. Optery notes that the site counts drop without its Expanded Reach option, for example 380+ becomes 150+ on Core.

Where Optery wins

When Optery is the better buy

Pick Optery Core if you want the lowest price for automated removal and have lived at one address under one name: $39 a year is hard to beat. Pick Extended or Ultimate if you want the widest automated site list in this comparison and screenshot reports, and you are buying for one person.

Optery Free Basic is also the most generous free option in the category. It keeps sending exposure reports every quarter, so you can watch your listings without paying anything.

Where Deindex wins

When Deindex is the better buy

Pick Deindex if a whole household needs covering. Optery has no flat family plan: each member is a separate plan, with a discount that grows to a maximum of 30% as you add people. Five people on Extended cost $745 a year at list price and about $522 at the full 30% off. Deindex Family covers the same five people for $588 a year.

Deindex also names the mechanism each request went out under, a CCPA and CPRA delete, GDPR Article 17, or the broker's own opt-out, and keeps a dated before-and-after screenshot for every resolved listing, not a quarterly report.

Why people switch

Why people move from Optery to Deindex

  • You want every removal to name the legal mechanism it was filed under (GDPR Art. 17, CCPA §1798.105, or the broker's own policy), not just a completed status.

  • You want a monthly Personal plan priced for one person without upgrading through several tiers to get evidence.

  • You want a business page and security posture built for procurement from day one, not added on top of a consumer product.

If you are still shortlisting, our ranked breakdown of the best data removal service puts Optery 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 Optery 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, Optery 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.

Optery alternative FAQ

Before you switch

Optery is worth the money for one person who wants broad automated coverage and screenshot reports, especially on Extended at $149 a year. Core at $39 is good value only if you have one name and one address history. For a family it gets expensive, because each member is billed as a separate plan.

Optery is $3.99 a month on Core, $14.99 on Extended and $24.99 on Ultimate if you pay monthly. Yearly billing brings those to $39, $149 and $249 a year, a 17% saving. All paid plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee and can be cancelled any time.

Optery lets you invite family and friends and discounts every plan as you add members, up to 30% off, but there is no flat household price. Five people on Extended cost about $522 a year at the full discount. Deindex Family covers five people for $588 a year, DeleteMe covers four for $329, and Incogni Family covers five for $191.88.

Yes. Optery is an established US data removal company with published prices, a free plan, SOC 2 reporting and a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid plans. Like every removal service, it cannot stop brokers from relisting you, so it rescans and refiles on a schedule.

Compare the numbers yourself: Optery charges Free Basic plan (quarterly exposure reports and self-service tools, no removals filed for you); Core $3.99/mo or $39/yr, 380+ sites but removals under one name, city and state; Extended $14.99/mo or $149/yr, 560+ sites with unlimited name variations and past addresses; Ultimate $24.99/mo or $249/yr, 635+ sites plus unlimited custom requests across 950+; Business quoted per seat. Yearly billing saves 17%, and paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. 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.
