PrivacyOn vs Incogni

Incogni is the cheaper headline price for one person on an annual plan; PrivacyOn is the better overall pick because it bundles dark web monitoring, a free exposure scan before you pay, a two-year rate below Incogni's annual one, and the only published data on how brokers actually respond.

Our pick

Choose PrivacyOn if…

  • You want to see your exposure before paying anything (free scan)
  • You want dark web and leaked-password monitoring included
  • You are willing to prepay two years for the lowest monthly rate ($7.08/mo)
  • You want transparency about reply rates, not just "requests sent"

Fair play

Choose Incogni if…

  • You want the lowest first-year price for one person and nothing else
  • You live in Canada, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Switzerland (Incogni serves them; we serve the US, UK and EU)
  • You already pay for Surfshark and get Incogni in a bundle

Incogni, built by the Surfshark team, is the price leader in automated data broker removal: as of October 2026 its Standard plan is $7.99/mo billed annually ($95.88/yr), a few dollars under PrivacyOn's $99.95/yr. If a low annual price is the only thing you care about and you are one person in the US or EU, Incogni is a reasonable buy and we will not pretend otherwise.

PrivacyOn earns the overall recommendation on what you get for a very similar price: removal from 100+ data broker and people-search sites with continuous re-monitoring, dark web and password-leak alerts, a free exposure scan before you spend anything, family cover for up to five people, a two-year plan at $7.08/mo that undercuts Incogni's annual rate, and a public report on how brokers really answer deletion requests. Below is the detail, with every Incogni figure dated so you can check it.

01

Pricing: Incogni is cheaper for a year, PrivacyOn is cheaper for two

As of October 2026 Incogni sells four plans, all quoted per month but billed annually: Standard at $7.99/mo ($95.88/yr), Unlimited at $14.99/mo ($179.88/yr), Family at $15.99/mo ($191.88/yr) and Family Unlimited at $22.99/mo ($275.88/yr). Standard and Family cover its automated list of 420+ brokers; the Unlimited tiers add unlimited custom removal requests against a further 3,000+ sites. Month-to-month billing is available but costs considerably more; Incogni's own page frames the annual plan as saving roughly $95 a year, so check the current monthly rate on their site before assuming.

PrivacyOn has one feature set and three billing terms. One person pays $29/mo monthly, $99.95/yr annually ($8.33/mo) or $169.95 per two years ($7.08/mo). Couples pay $49/mo, $164.95/yr or $280.95 per two years; a family of up to five pays $69/mo, $229.95/yr or $390.95 per two years. Every plan includes the same removal, re-monitoring, dark web alerts and encrypted Vault; there is no Unlimited tier to upgrade to; every plan is the whole product.

The honest summary: for one person on a one-year term Incogni is about $4 cheaper. On a two-year term PrivacyOn is cheaper per month ($7.08 vs $7.99) and includes monitoring Incogni does not list. For families Incogni's $191.88 beats our $229.95 on headline price, but covers removal only. See the full Incogni cost breakdown and our pricing page for the per-month math side by side.

02

Coverage: 420+ brokers vs 100+ sites, and why the count misleads

Incogni advertises 420+ data brokers and sends opt-out requests to all of them whether or not they hold your record. That is a legitimate strategy, because many brokers never expose a searchable profile, and it is why Incogni's count is so high. The trade-off is that you cannot see which of those 420 ever had your data, and a request to a broker that never held your record is not a removal.

PrivacyOn starts the other way round. The free exposure scan looks for your actual listings on people-search sites first, so you know what is exposed before you pay. Paid removal then covers 100+ data broker and people-search sites, including the marketing-data brokers that sell the lists behind spam calls, and re-scans those sites so a listing that reappears gets filed again. We would rather show you a smaller number of sites where we verified a result than a larger number of letters sent.

Neither approach is wrong, but they answer different questions. If you want to know "how many places did you write to", Incogni's number is bigger. If you want to know "is my profile still on this site", PrivacyOn's scan-first model gives you an answer you can check yourself.

03

How removals actually work: the response data nobody else publishes

Most comparison pages stop at site counts. The number that matters more is what happens after a request is sent, and that is where PrivacyOn publishes something nobody else in this comparison does. Our Data Broker Response Report is recomputed daily from our own removal system. As of 12 October 2026 it covers 621 authorized-agent requests sent to 75 brokers. Only 22% had received any reply; 46% of first replies were nothing more than an auto-acknowledgement; 29% of substantive replies told us to go and fill in a web form instead; and 59% of requests old enough to measure were still unanswered after 14 days. Where a broker did confirm deletion, the median time from request to confirmation was about 42 hours (a small sample of 14 so far, which we flag on the report itself).

We publish this because it changes how you should judge any removal service, including ours. A broker that never replies has not removed anything, however many "requests sent" a dashboard shows. So PrivacyOn pairs every request with re-scans of the broker site itself and re-files when your listing reappears, and the dashboard tells you which brokers confirmed, which went quiet, and which need a step only you can complete (identity checks and web forms that legally require the data subject). We also measure the other side of the problem: 36% of our automated people-search scans in the last 30 days were blocked by CAPTCHAs or IP bans, which is why "monitoring" claims from any vendor deserve scepticism.

Incogni's dashboard shows requests as sent, in progress or completed. We could not find a published figure for how many of its requests receive a reply or how long a confirmed removal takes. If you are choosing between the two, ask Incogni for that number; we already publish ours.

04

International customers: GDPR, UK GDPR and who serves where

Incogni is available to residents of the US, Canada, the UK, the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein (per its support site as of October 2026), and it files under GDPR for European customers. That footprint is wider than PrivacyOn's, and if you are in Canada or the Nordics it is the practical choice between the two.

PrivacyOn serves the US under CCPA/CPRA and runs its own GDPR and UK GDPR lane for UK and EU customers: we draft and send Article 17 erasure requests to the brokers that hold data on people in those countries, track the one-month statutory deadline, and escalate when a broker goes silent. Those requests feed the same Response Report, so UK and EU customers can see the same reply-rate data US customers do.

05

Support, guarantees and getting your money back

Both services offer a 30-day money-back guarantee as of October 2026. The practical difference is what you know before the clock starts. Incogni asks you to pay first and then watches requests go out. PrivacyOn's free scan shows your exposed listings before any payment, so you are buying a fix for a problem you have already seen.

PrivacyOn support is by email, with a per-member dashboard for family accounts and a guided checklist for the steps brokers insist the individual completes personally. For how cancellation works on the other side see how to cancel your Incogni subscription.

06

Who should pick which

Pick Incogni if you are one person in a country PrivacyOn does not serve, or if the lowest possible first-year price is your only criterion and you do not want monitoring, a vault or a scan up front.

Pick PrivacyOn if you want to see your exposure first, want dark web and password-leak monitoring without an extra subscription, are protecting a couple or a family, can prepay two years for $7.08/mo, or care about seeing real reply-rate data rather than a count of requests sent.

The verdict

PrivacyOn or Incogni?

PrivacyOn is the better overall choice. Incogni wins the one-year headline price by a few dollars and serves more countries, and we have said so plainly. But for most people in the US, UK and EU, PrivacyOn's free scan, included dark web monitoring, lower two-year rate and published response data deliver more privacy per dollar, and you can verify every claim on this page before you spend anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Incogni cheaper than PrivacyOn?

For one person on an annual plan, yes: Incogni Standard is $95.88/yr against PrivacyOn's $99.95/yr as of October 2026. On a two-year term PrivacyOn is cheaper at $7.08/mo versus Incogni's $7.99/mo annual rate, and PrivacyOn includes dark web monitoring and a free scan. Our recommendation is PrivacyOn for most buyers; Incogni if the first-year price is all that matters.

Does Incogni have a family plan?

Yes. As of October 2026 Incogni Family covers up to five people for $15.99/mo billed annually ($191.88/yr), or $22.99/mo for Family Unlimited with custom removals. PrivacyOn's Family plan covers up to five people for $229.95/yr or $69/mo and includes dark web monitoring and a Vault for each member; we think it is the better family buy, but Incogni's is cheaper on headline price.

Which covers more data brokers, Incogni or PrivacyOn?

Incogni advertises 420+ brokers and sends requests to all of them regardless of whether they hold your data. PrivacyOn covers 100+ data broker and people-search sites and scans them for your actual listings first, then re-scans after removal. The larger number measures letters sent; PrivacyOn's measures sites checked and re-checked, and we publish how brokers respond.

Can I use Incogni or PrivacyOn outside the US?

Incogni serves the US, Canada, UK, EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. PrivacyOn serves the US and runs its own GDPR and UK GDPR removal lane for UK and EU residents. If you are in Canada or the Nordics, Incogni is the practical option; in the US, UK or EU we recommend PrivacyOn.

Does either service prove removals actually happened?

PrivacyOn shows per-broker status in your dashboard and publishes an aggregate Data Broker Response Report: as of 12 October 2026, 22% of 621 requests had any reply and the median confirmed removal took about 42 hours. Incogni shows request progress in its app; we could not find published reply-rate data for it. For verifiable results, PrivacyOn is our pick.
