How we compare
Most removal products opt you out of public people-search pages and show a count. We send authorized-agent deletion and do-not-sell letters to the companies that hold the file and sell it, then show you the email. Confirmed is their reply, not a scan.
We are not 100% automated. A few vendor forms still need you. We do not invent a completion. If that is not what you want, the other products below are a better fit.
Short version
| RemoveMyTracks | DeleteMe / Incogni / Optery | California DROP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What they count as done | Vendor email: deleted you, or hold no record, or you finished their form | Usually: we submitted the opt-out / the listing looks quieter | A state request to registered CA brokers |
| Who we write | Brokers and the companies that sell the file. Catalog is public. | Mostly people-search and broker opt-out lists | California-registered data brokers only |
| Authority | Limited power of attorney. We are your authorized agent. | Varies; often an authorization form, not an LPOA letter stream | You, as a California resident, through the state |
| You still do some work | Yes. A few portals, CAPTCHAs, and forwards. We say so. | Sometimes. Often marketed as set-and-forget. | The form is yours. Brokers must process on the state’s clock. |
| Cost | 3 companies free. Paid plans when billing is on. | Subscription. Roundups list roughly $8–$25/mo. | Free if you live in California |
California DROP
If you live in California, the state’s Delete Request and Opt-out Platform is free and reaches registered data brokers. Use it. We are not a substitute for DROP, and we will not pretend a paid letter is required to talk to a CA-registered broker.
DROP does not write Target, your bank, or the broker that never registered. It does not give you the vendor’s email in your dashboard. That is the work we do, including for people who are not in California.
What we will not claim
- We will not say you were removed from 100% of the internet.
- We will not count a silent vendor as a win.
- We will not hide that some companies only take a form or a login.
- We do not sell your data, and we do not run advertising pixels.
Public catalog: who we write. Example letters: what a receipt looks like.
