Routine broker coverage and a custom-request service are different things. Do not treat Incogni’s additional custom sites as thousands of routine scans, or assume a DeleteMe custom request will succeed for any URL. Ask about the exact sites exposing your information before buying.

DeleteMe’s Standard US list, updated August 6, includes Whitepages, Spokeo and BeenVerified. Its broader directory separately marks higher tiers, international plans and custom requests. That directory’s headline total is not Standard routine coverage.

Incogni’s terms say requests are electronic; it cannot submit for you when a broker requires postal mail or telephone. Some requests need your own verification. DeleteMe’s terms say its list can change and it does not remove everything online. Neither provider guarantees that third parties will honor requests.

Incogni advertises recurring removals and monthly reports; DeleteMe describes scans and removals throughout the year and quarterly reports. A report schedule does not establish how often each site is rechecked. We did not verify a uniform per-site recheck interval for either service.

Incogni requires identifying information and signed authorization to request removals. DeleteMe’s terms grant a limited power of attorney for removal work until cancellation. Both describe sharing identifying data with brokers to fulfill requests. Read the Incogni terms and DeleteMe terms before granting that authority.

Our advice: keep a list of your target profiles, verify any unexpected request for more information through the provider’s own support, and do not interpret an activity report as proof that every copy has disappeared. We have not evaluated either provider’s handling of a real customer’s information.

Incogni: renews automatically unless canceled before renewal. Turning off renewal preserves access through the paid term. Its 30-day guarantee applies to the initial purchase, once; US renewals are not covered by that guarantee. Purchase-channel rules and applicable law can differ. Account deletion is not a refund request. Incogni terms.

DeleteMe: individual subscriptions renew automatically. Its published policy offers a full refund before the first Privacy Report and a prorated refund for unused time afterward, subject to its misuse exclusion. DeleteMe refund help · Individual-user terms.

We did not establish a guaranteed future renewal amount for either offer. Save the billing terms and check your account or renewal notice. DeleteMe’s stated unused-time policy is more flexible than Incogni’s initial-purchase guarantee for the US comparison; we have not tested a refund with either.

Try free people-search opt-outs if a few known profiles are the problem. California residents should also consider DROP, a free state service with its own scope and processing timeline. A subscription is optional.

Stay with an existing service when it covers your important listings at an acceptable cost. Before switching, compare those targets, remaining paid time and refund terms; we have not established that records or settings transfer. If you need to contain exposed credentials, payments or identity information, use recovery steps first. Neither removal plan is evidence that an unexpected message is genuine.

Choose Incogni Standard for the lower observed annual cost only if routine coverage is enough. Compare DeleteMe Standard when its custom-request and support features matter; include Incogni Unlimited in that decision. The category guide helps decide whether paid removal is the right job at all.
