## Key features

- **Many platforms:** The site says it supports 35+ sites. Premium unlocks the major ones; Ultimate adds LinkedIn, Slack, Stack Exchange, email and GitHub.
- **Edit before delete:** Replaces content with your own text before deleting, which the pricing page says is to beat archive bots.
- **Scheduled deletions:** Premium can run deletions automatically on a schedule.
- **On-device processing:** The free plan description says all processing happens on your device.
- **Workforce privacy:** The Enterprise platform adds data broker removal and exposed data monitoring for staff.

## Good for

- Cleaning up several social accounts from one app
- Buyers who prefer a one-time lifetime price

## Worth knowing

- Free deletion on most platforms stops at the last 30 days.
- Premium allows 2 accounts per platform and Ultimate 5.
- Work platforms such as LinkedIn and Slack need Ultimate.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Redact deletes your old posts, messages and comments across social platforms, and can edit them first. The free plan reaches back 30 days on most platforms, with a whole Reddit history included. It is a post-deleting tool, not a data-broker remover, which sits only on its Enterprise platform.

- **Value for money: B.** $7.99 a month on yearly billing for Premium, at the cheaper edge of data-removal tools, and lifetime plans cost $245 and $385.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan with deletion for the last 30 days on most platforms, and a whole Reddit history. Older posts need Premium.
- **Features: C.** It deletes posts fully across many platforms, with edit-first and scheduling. That is a smaller job than data-removal, because broker removal is Enterprise-only.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You connect each social account before it can delete.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android apps, with no integrations or API listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Redact 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 2.4 is higher than 11 of the 15 other data removal services we grade. It costs $95.88 a year.

- You could not: Opt-out requests to hundreds of data brokers, sent again whenever they list you again.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
