Pick Incogni if

- Works for a household of up to 5 on a Family plan, at $191.88 a year
Look elsewhere if

- 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

- 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
| 1.8GPAIncogniWeak | 2.8GPAMozilla 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.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
