Price, side by side

Optery vs DeleteMe cost for one person and for a family

For one person the real comparison is Optery Extended at $149 a year against DeleteMe at $129, because Optery Core at $39 only removes you under a single name, city and state. If you have moved or changed your name, Core leaves the old listings in place. Optery Core is the right buy only if you have one name and one address history.

For a household the order flips. Four people cost $329 a year on DeleteMe. Four Optery Extended plans cost $596 at list price and about $417 with the maximum 30% family discount. Optery Core for four is $156, but each person is limited to one name and one city.

Optery lists 375+ sites on Core, 550+ on Extended and 620+ on Ultimate, with custom removals reaching 935+ sites in total, and it sends removal reports with screenshots. DeleteMe says it covers all major data broker websites without publishing a count and sends a privacy report every quarter.

Where Deindex fits

When neither is the right buy

If you need to show that each removal happened, or you cover five people and want a legal basis cited on every request, Deindex Family is $588 a year for five. It costs more than both services above, which is why we recommend it only when evidence is the reason you are shopping.

Each service has its own full price breakdown, linked in the related pages below, including the plans we did not repeat here.

Why people switch

Why people move from Optery and DeleteMe to Deindex

  • You want every removal to name the legal mechanism it was filed under, not only a completed status.

  • You cover a household of up to five and want one price with dated before-and-after proof per listing.

  • You want to see your exposure for free, with the first sites named, before you pay.

Our differentiator

We sell proof and legal standing, not a count.

Every provider in this category, Optery and 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.
