DeleteMe vs Mozilla Monitor (2026): which should you pick?

Pick DeleteMe if

• Fits if you want privacy staff, not only software, filing your opt-outs
• Works for people with past names and emails, since every plan covers unlimited aliases

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to pay month to month, as plans are bought for 1 or 2 years up front and renew automatically
• Not for you if you want monthly rescans, since DeleteMe says Standard rescans 4 times a year
• Tight if your household is bigger than 4, which is where the family plan stops
• Watch out: the pricing page's two Premium tables disagree, one listing monthly scans and 300 custom requests
• Watch out: there's no stated refund window, only a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and Premium at $180 is US-only

Pick Mozilla Monitor if

• Fits if you only want to know whether your email turned up in a breach
• Works for a family checking up to 5 addresses

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want your details removed from people-search sites, as it doesn't do that
• Not for you if you want it to fix breaches, because the steps are yours to carry out
• Watch out: it monitors email addresses only, not phone numbers
• Watch out: Mozilla's help pages blocked our fetch, so we couldn't confirm whether a paid plan still exists

DeleteMe

• US plans are for US residents only; DeleteMe also sells to Canada, Australia and the UK at local prices, and Premium is US-only.
• There is no free plan, trial or month-to-month option; plans are paid for 1 or 2 years up front and renew automatically.
• Standard rescans only quarterly. The pricing page's two plan tables disagree on Premium, one listing monthly scans and 300 custom requests.
• A family plan stops at 4 people; DeleteMe offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee rather than a stated refund window.

Mozilla Monitor

• It checks breaches and does not remove personal information from people-search sites or data brokers; the pages we read mention no such service.
• It cannot resolve breaches for you: the steps, such as changing passwords, are yours to carry out.
• Monitoring is by email address; the pages we read do not list phone numbers or other identifiers.
• Mozilla's help pages blocked our fetch, so we could not confirm whether any paid Monitor plan still exists.

DeleteMe

Opt-outs filed for you

DeleteMe staff and software look for your listings on data broker and people-search sites and submit the removal requests. Its site lists 969 data brokers it says it has removed information from.

Repeat scans through the year

Standard plans rescan 4 times a year and Premium 6 times, removing listings that have come back. New opt-outs DeleteMe adds during the year are included at no extra cost.

Privacy reports

A first detailed report arrives about 7 days after sign-up, then quarterly reports on Standard, showing what was found and removed.

Custom removal requests

For sites outside its usual list you can ask DeleteMe to request a removal: 40 requests on Standard and 60 on Premium, according to the plan comparison.

Names, aliases and emails

Every plan covers unlimited aliases, previous names and email addresses for the same person, so older listings under another name are found too.

Email and phone masking

Plans include privacy tools for masking your email address and phone number when you sign up for things, alongside the removal service.

Mozilla Monitor

Breach scan

Searches known data breaches using just an email address.

Guided resolution steps

Because fixing a breach usually means manual steps such as changing passwords or placing a fraud alert, it gives instructions instead of fixing exposures itself.

Alerts for new breaches

Checks each newly detected breach against your address and emails you if you are in it.

Five email addresses

All subscribers can monitor 5 email addresses at no cost.

Breach database

A public list of reported breaches since 2007, showing the date each was added and which data types it exposed.
