Privacy Bee vs PrivacyDuck (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Privacy Bee if

• Fits if you live outside North America, as its help desk says it serves almost every country
• Works for people whose details sit on blogs, forums or social media, which Pro takes on

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want an exact price before checkout, as the page shows approximate ones and no monthly-billing price
• Tight if you're on Essentials, which covers people-search sites only, with no custom takedowns
• Pricey if you need the white-glove Signature tier, at about $67 a month and not refundable
• Watch out: there's no trial, and the free account gets one scan and guides only, with no removals or monitoring
• Pricey if you're covering a family, as each member needs a paid license of their own

Pick PrivacyDuck if

• Fits if you want people to handle removals for one household
• Works for someone in the US who wants a single plan

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're one person, as the plan is $299 a year for a household
• Skip it if you want apps or extensions, as none are listed
• Not for you if you're outside the US, since signup asks for a US state
• Watch out: the pricing page says one household while the family page lists 20% to 30% off 2 or more plans
• Watch out: the card statement shows the billing company, PrivacyPros

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.

PrivacyDuck

• There is one plan at $299 per year and no free tier or free trial; a free scan shows where your data is exposed before you pay.
• The pricing page says the plan covers one household, while the family page lists discounts of 20% to 30% for 2 or more paid plans; check which applies before buying.
• It is a service run by a small team and is used through a web login; no mobile apps or browser extensions are listed.
• Coverage is US-focused: the signup form asks for a US state, and the card statement shows the billing company, PrivacyPros.
