Which one is for you

Pick Incogni if

  • Fits if you live in the EU, the UK, Canada or the US and want removals sent without doing them yourself
  • Works for a household of up to 5 on a Family plan, at $191.88 a year

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want to try it before paying, as there's no free plan or trial, only a 30-day money-back guarantee
  • Pricey if you pay monthly: $15.98 against $7.99 a month on the yearly plan
  • Tight if you've had many addresses or numbers, as its terms allow one adult and three extras per account
  • Pricey if you need custom removals, web scanning or phone support, which start on Unlimited at $179.88 a year
  • Not for you if you live outside the US, Canada, the EU, the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein

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

How we grade them

1.8GPAIncogniWeak2.8GPAMozilla MonitorGood
Value for money
CStandard is $7.99 a month billed yearly at $95.88, right in the middle of what removal services charge. Pay monthly and it's $15.98, twice as much. Custom requests for sites outside its list need Unlimited, at $179.88 a year.
AFree outright for up to 5 email addresses, with no paid plan shown on the pages we read.
Free plan and trial
FNo free plan and no trial, so you pay before a single request goes out. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee if it disappoints, but that isn't a trial.
AA free breach scan and alerts for up to 5 email addresses, with no cap an ordinary person would reach.
Features
CThe core job is done: Incogni says it sends requests to 420+ brokers, keeps resending them, and on Unlimited takes custom requests for 3,000+ more sites. The gap is in its terms, which cap each account at three extra emails, addresses or phone numbers.
DOne narrow job: breach scan, alerts and guided steps. It doesn't remove personal information from people-search sites or data brokers.
Ease of use
BNo App Store rating on record, but there's barely anything to do. You sign an authorization form once and it files the requests, with a dashboard showing each broker's status and expected removal time.
BNo store rating on record, but you enter an email address and get a result, with nothing to set up.
Platforms and integrations
CWeb only. There's no app on its site, and no integrations or API on record. It's for residents of the US, Canada, the UK, the EU and a few other European countries.
CWeb only, by email address, and the listing names no integrations or apps.

    Worth knowing

    Incogni

    • Available only to residents of the US and its territories, Canada, the EU, Switzerland, the UK, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
    • There is no free plan or trial; Incogni offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and paying monthly costs twice the yearly rate.
    • Its terms limit each account to one adult and up to three extra emails, addresses or phone numbers for removal requests.
    • Custom removals, automatic web scanning and phone support are only on the Unlimited and Family Unlimited plans.

    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.

    Key features

    Incogni

    Automated removal requests
    Incogni says it covers 420+ data brokers, public and private, and that Deloitte checked that figure. You sign an authorization form once and it files the requests for you.
    Recurring requests
    It rescans people-search sites and sends fresh requests on a schedule, so a broker that adds you back gets another request. Annual plans run year-round.
    Requests to private brokers
    For brokers with private databases that cannot be searched, Incogni uses your region to pick the ones likely to hold your data and sends them opt-out requests anyway.
    Custom removals
    Unlimited plans let you submit links to any page showing your details, and a privacy specialist works on removing it. Incogni says this reaches 3,000+ further sites.
    Progress reports and dashboard
    A dashboard shows each broker's status and expected removal time, and monthly reports track what has been removed.
    Family accounts
    Family plans cover you and up to 4 other people from one account, with or without custom removals.

    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.

    How this page was made

    • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
    • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
