# Optery

> Data broker removal with a free exposure report and screenshot proof

Optery finds your personal details on data broker and people-search sites and opts you out of them, showing screenshots of where each profile was found and, later, that it is gone. A free account gets the exposure report and do-it-yourself opt-out tools; paid plans file removals automatically every month, on more sites at each tier. It works on the web and through iPhone and Android apps.

## Ways to pay less

- **About 17% off with yearly billing** (Annual discount): Optery's pricing page says switching to yearly saves 17%: Core is $39 a year against $3.99 a month, and Ultimate $249 a year against $24.99 a month. Source: https://www.optery.com/pricing/
- **Family discount of up to 30% off all plans** (Other savings): Optery for Family lowers the price of every plan the more people you cover, reaching 30% off all plans at 4 plans or more, according to its help desk. Source: https://help.optery.com/en/category/optery-for-family-c3zvbx/

## Key features

- **Exposure report with screenshots:** The free account gets a report of where your name, address and phone number appear, with a screenshot and link for each profile found and a scan of Google and Bing results.
- **Monthly automated removals:** Paid plans scan and file opt-outs at least once every 30 days, Optery says, and are opted out of newly supported brokers automatically. Core says it covers 375+ sites, Extended 555+ and Ultimate 625+.
- **Removals reports:** Extended and Ultimate send a report about every 90 days with before-and-after screenshots showing which profiles were taken down, and assign a human Privacy Agent for cases the automation cannot handle.
- **Custom removal requests:** Ultimate accepts unlimited requests for sites outside the automated list, 940+ sites in all by Optery's count, after your first 30 days. It also submits outdated pages to Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and Yahoo.
- **Map blurring:** Extended and Ultimate request that your home be blurred on Google Maps and Apple Maps street imagery.
- **Family administration:** One administrator can invite relatives and friends, see each person's exposure and removal counts, and manage their plans and billing, while each person's detailed reports stay private to them.

## Good for

- Seeing where your details are posted for free before paying anything
- People who want screenshot proof that profiles were removed
- Families covering several adults under one administrator

## Worth knowing

- Personal plans are for residents of the US, Canada (excluding Quebec), Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, and only for adults aged 18 and over.
- Core removes profiles for one name and one city and state only; unlimited name variations, past cities and a human agent start on Extended.
- There is no free trial; Optery offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on individual accounts instead, not on business accounts.
- Each account covers one person, so a family buys a plan for each member; the family discount reaches 30% only at 4 plans or more.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.8 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. Want to see where your details are posted before you pay anyone? Optery's free account shows you, with a screenshot of each profile it finds. Core then files removals for you every month, Optery says, for $39 a year. The catch is that Core covers one name and one city, so if you've moved around you're looking at Extended, at $149 a year.

- **Value for money: B.** Core is $3.25 a month billed yearly at $39, the second-cheapest way into this category, and Optery says it covers 375+ sites. But it's one name and one city and state only. Past addresses, name variations and a human agent need Extended, at $149 a year.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Free Basic gets you an exposure report with screenshots, a scan of Google and Bing results and do-it-yourself opt-out tools, rescanned about every 3 months. What it won't do is remove anything for you, and that's the job you'd be paying for.
- **Features: B.** Removals Optery says run monthly, at 375+ sites on Core and 625+ on Ultimate, before-and-after screenshot reports, custom requests on Ultimate, map blurring and a family admin. Nothing in the core job is missing, though the good extras sit on the dearer plans.
- **Ease of use: B.** No App Store rating on record, but there's next to nothing to set up. You sign up, look through the report with its screenshots and links, and a paid plan files the opt-outs for you from then on.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** The web plus iPhone and Android apps. There's no computer app and no integrations on record, so it stops at B. Personal plans are only for adults in the US, Canada outside Quebec, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

- It stands best on value for money (B, above 5 of 6) and worst on free plan and trial (C, above 5).
- Its paid plans start at $3.25 a month, against a middle price of $8 for the category: 1 of the 6 others that charge start lower.
- On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 3.0 out of 4, and no tool on the category's chart scores higher without costing more.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Optery 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. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 6 of the 6 other data removal services we grade. It costs $39 a year.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Opt-out requests to hundreds of data brokers, sent again whenever they list you again.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: An API that other software can build on.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
