Incogni vs DeleteMe
Both services ask data brokers to take your name, address and phone number out of the profiles they sell. What settles it for most readers is where they live: Incogni takes orders from Europe, while DeleteMe signs up United States residents only.

Our verdict
For someone who wants their details off broker sites, Incogni is the better pick, and outside the United States it is the only one of the two you can buy. It sends the opt-out requests automatically and repeats them on a schedule, so a profile that comes back gets another request.
Standard works out at $7.99 a month when you pay $95.88 for the year, against $8.71 a month for DeleteMe, which bills two years up front. DeleteMe has its own appeal for a US resident: a personal privacy expert as your contact and a report every quarter.
Incogni has no free plan, only a free Exposure Scanner and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
“Incogni is the removal service to check first outside the US: you can order it from Europe and it needs no work after sign-up. Standard covers the brokers on its list; Unlimited only pays off if you know sites beyond it. Our reservation: the annual discount comes without a stated renewal price.”Editorial team, on Incogni
Frequently asked questions
Is Incogni cheaper than DeleteMe?
Yes, per month. Incogni Standard comes to $7.99 a month on the annual plan, billed as $95.88 once a year. DeleteMe's plan for one person works out at $8.71 a month, but you commit to two years in one payment. Incogni shows its annual price as a discount on a higher crossed-out amount and does not spell out the renewal price, so check what you will be charged before the first year ends.
Can I use DeleteMe outside the US?
No, not as a new customer. DeleteMe's plan terms say "U.S. residents only", and its international page states that enrollment for the introductory international plans has ended, adding that it is working to bring the service to more regions. From Europe, Incogni is the option you can actually order: its pricing page loads in euros with working order buttons.
How do Incogni and DeleteMe remove your data?
Both send opt-out requests to data brokers on your behalf; they differ in how they keep you informed. Incogni runs the requests automatically and repeats them on a schedule so your details do not quietly return. DeleteMe adds new opt-outs through the year at no extra cost, sends a privacy report every quarter and gives you a personal DeleteMe expert. Each offers a free scan before you pay.
Can I get my data removed from brokers without paying?
Yes, if you have the time. A free scan, Incogni's Exposure Scanner or DeleteMe's Free Scan, shows where your details appear, and you can contact those sites yourself. In the EU the GDPR gives you a right to erasure, and a company must answer your request within one month, free of charge. What a paid service adds is repetition: Incogni sends its requests again on a schedule.
