Privacy Bee
Data broker removal with custom takedowns and a white-glove tier
How we grade them
| 1.8GPADeleteMeWeak | 2.4GPAPrivacy BeeFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$129 a year for one person on the 1-year plan, $10.75 a month, above the middle of this category. Paying for two years at once is $209, which DeleteMe shows as $8.71 a month. There's no monthly option at all. | CEssentials is about $8 a month billed annually, a figure the pricing page itself calls approximate, right in the middle of this category. Pro, where the wider broker list and custom takedowns start, is about $16. The monthly-billing price isn't shown. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan, no trial and no month-to-month option, so the smallest step in is a full year up front. Its 100% satisfaction guarantee is a promise, not a trial. | DNo free plan and no trial. A free account gets one scan and some do-it-yourself guides, which shows you the problem but removes nothing and doesn't keep watching. The 30-day money-back guarantee isn't a trial. |
| Features | CStaff and software file your opt-outs, it says it has removed data from 969 brokers, and Standard takes 40 custom requests. The gap is pace: DeleteMe says Standard rescans only 4 times a year, and its own two Premium tables disagree. | BPrivacy Bee says Essentials covers 543 people-search sites with scans every 30 days, and Pro 1,256 brokers plus unlimited custom takedowns, with human analysts and map blurring. Unlimited aliases and addresses on every tier. The whole job is here, on Pro. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating on record, but you don't do the work here. DeleteMe's staff search and file, the first report arrives about 7 days after sign-up, and quarterly reports follow. | BNo App Store rating on record, but there's little to set up. It runs on its own, a dashboard shows a risk score and where each removal stands, and a monthly email sums up what went and what failed. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no app, integrations or API on record. It sells in the US, Canada, Australia and the UK at local prices, and Premium is for US residents only. | BThe web plus iPhone and Android apps, and its help desk says it serves almost every country outside US sanctions, the widest here. There's no computer app and no integrations on record, so it stops at B. |
| Best for | removals handled by people, paid by the year | removals outside North America, and custom takedowns |

Worth knowing
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.
Privacy Bee
- The pricing page shows only approximate monthly figures for yearly billing; monthly billing exists, but its price is not shown.
- A free account gets one scan and do-it-yourself guides only, with no automatic removals or ongoing monitoring.
- Essentials covers people-search sites only; custom takedowns and wider broker coverage start on Pro.
- The 30-day money-back guarantee covers Essentials and Pro, not Signature, and each family member needs a paid license of their own.
