Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 0 of the 6 other data removal services we grade
DeleteMe, from Abine, has its privacy experts and its own software search data broker and people-search sites for your details, file opt-out requests and repeat the search through the year. Plans are bought for 1 or 2 years and cover 1, 2 or 4 people; a Premium plan for US residents scans more often and takes more custom requests. You manage it from a web account and get a report after each round.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about DeleteMe, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No App Store rating on record, but you don't do the work here.
- 1
Best for removals handled by people, paid by the year
DeleteMe is the removal service with people in the loop: its privacy staff and its software find your listings, file the opt-outs and send you a report after each round.
- 2
Paid plans start at $10.75 a month when paid by the year
As its pricing page puts it: $129 per year for 1 person ($10.75 a month).
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
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.
- 5
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.
- 6
Privacy reports
A first detailed report arrives about 7 days after sign-up, then quarterly reports on Standard, showing what was found and removed.
- 7
A 1.8 GPA, above 0 of 6
That is against the other data removal services we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace DeleteMe you would be making opt-out requests to hundreds of data brokers, sent again whenever they list you again. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for removals handled by people, paid by the year
DeleteMe is the removal service with people in the loop: its privacy staff and its software find your listings, file the opt-outs and send you a report after each round. It's sold by the year, $129 for one person, with no trial and no monthly option. And DeleteMe says Standard rescans 4 times a year, which is slow next to rivals that say they go monthly.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No 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. |
| Features | C | Staff 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. |
| Ease of use | B | No 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who DeleteMe is for
- Great if you'd like privacy staff, not only software, filing your opt-outs
- Good for couples and families of four, with plans priced for 2 or 4 people
- Handy when you've had other names and emails, since every plan covers unlimited aliases
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to pay month to month, as plans are bought for 1 or 2 years up front
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- People who want privacy staff, not only software, filing their opt-outs
- Couples and families of four on one plan
- Paying for two years at once at a lower yearly rate
Worth knowing
- 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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace DeleteMe you would be making opt-out requests to hundreds of data brokers, sent again whenever they list you again. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 4 of the 6 other data removal services grade higher. It costs $129 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Opt-out requests to hundreds of data brokers, sent again whenever they list you again.
What this rests on. DeleteMe’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
