The short answer
DeleteMe costs $129.00 a year for one person, $229.00 a year for two people and $329.00 a year for four. The two-year plans are billed once at $209.00, $349.00 and $499.00, and that two-year, one-person price is where the $8.71 a month figure on DeleteMe's own pricing page comes from. There is no month-to-month option at any tier, so the smallest amount you can spend to try DeleteMe is $129.00. The cheapest per person is the four-person two-year plan at $62.38 per person per year. For comparison, Incogni starts at $95.88 a year, Optery at $39 a year and OneRep at about $99.96 a year.
Last updated 29 August 2026. Every dollar figure on this page was read off the vendor's own pricing page on that date. The per-person numbers are our arithmetic on those published totals, shown in full so you can check the working.
DeleteMe pricing: the complete US rate card
DeleteMe publishes six consumer plans, and its pricing page shows you one of them at a time behind a toggle that opens on the two-year view. Here are all six at once, with the total you are actually charged and what that comes to per person per year. The last column is the number DeleteMe puts in large type, which is why the two figures look so different.
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| Plan | People | Term | You are billed | Per person per year | Figure DeleteMe displays |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person, 1 year | 1 | 1 year | $129.00 | $129.00 | Not shown |
| 2 people, 1 year | 2 | 1 year | $229.00 | $114.50 | Not shown |
| 4 people, 1 year | 4 | 1 year | $329.00 | $82.25 | Not shown |
| 1 person, 2 years | 1 | 2 years | $209.00 | $104.50 | $8.71 a month |
| 2 people, 2 years | 2 | 2 years | $349.00 | $87.25 | $14.54 a month |
| 4 people, 2 years | 4 | 2 years | $499.00 | $62.38 | $20.79 a month |
Two things fall out of that table. The first is that the multi-person plans carry a real discount rather than a token one: DeleteMe lists the undiscounted two-person year at $258.00 and charges $229.00, and the four-person year at $516.00 against $329.00 charged. The second is that the cheapest seat DeleteMe sells, $62.38 per person per year, is only available if you can find four people and commit for two years. A single person paying for a single year is paying more than double that rate.
Four things the headline number hides
How to read the DeleteMe cost before you buy
-
1
The headline monthly figure is a two-year price
DeleteMe shows $8.71 a month at the top of its pricing page, and the toggle above it defaults to the 2 Years view. That $8.71 is $209.00 charged once, up front, covering one person for twenty four months. It is a real price and a fair one. It is just not what you pay for a year, and it is not a monthly charge.
-
2
There is no month-to-month plan
Every DeleteMe plan is prepaid for one or two years. The cheapest possible way to try the service is the $129 one-year, one-person plan, so treat $129 as the true entry cost rather than $8.71. Incogni, Optery and OneRep all sell a month-to-month option, which matters if you want to test a service before committing.
-
3
The per-person price falls fast as you add people
One person for one year is $129. Four people for two years is $499, which is $62.38 per person per year, less than half the single rate. If more than one adult in your house needs covering, the multi-person plan is where DeleteMe stops looking expensive. Buying two single plans instead would cost $258.
-
4
You are buying maintenance, not a one-off cleanup
The first pass is the easy part and you can do it yourself free in an evening or two. What the annual fee buys is somebody re-checking the same sites every cycle, because broker listings repopulate from public records and purchased files whether or not you were removed last quarter. Price the renewal, not the first year.
DeleteMe pricing against Incogni, Optery and OneRep
DeleteMe is the most expensive of the four to start with and the only one that puts a named person on your account as standard. Optery is the cheapest paid entry by a wide margin and the only one with a genuinely free tier, though its free tier shows you the exposure rather than removing it. Read the site-count column carefully: it is the number each vendor chooses to publish, and the vendors are not counting the same way.
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| Service | Cheapest way in | Top consumer tier | Sites it publishes | A human on your queue? | Money back |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DeleteMe | $129 a year | $329 a year for 4 people, or $499 for 4 people over 2 years | DeleteMe describes a standard subscription as covering 30+ data broker sites | Yes. A named privacy expert works the queue and every plan includes one. | 100% satisfaction guarantee, no published window |
| Incogni | $95.88 a year ($7.99 a month billed annually) | $275.88 a year for Family Unlimited, up to 5 people | 420+ sites on Standard, plus 3,000+ more on the Unlimited tiers | No. Removals are automated. Live phone support is on the Unlimited tiers. | 30 days, published |
| Optery | $39 a year on Core, and a genuinely free Basic tier | $249 a year on Ultimate, per person | 380+ sites on Core, 560+ on Extended, 635+ on Ultimate, 950+ with custom requests | Yes, from the Extended tier up: a human privacy agent and before-and-after screenshots. | Not published as a window on the pricing page |
| OneRep | About $99.96 a year ($8.33 a month billed annually) | $180 a year for up to 6 people | OneRep does not headline a single site count on its pricing page | Automated, with support | 30 days, plus a 5-day free trial |
One caveat on that table, stated plainly because it affects how much weight to give it. Incogni's and Optery's pricing pages were read directly. OneRep's pricing page sits behind a bot check that will not serve an automated request, so its figures come from OneRep's own published pages as indexed rather than from a direct read, and they are the one set here we would re-verify before acting on. If you are weighing OneRep specifically, there is a separate question about who owns it that matters more than the price, and it is covered in our look at whether OneRep is legit.
The cheapest way to cover a household
Almost nobody buying data removal is buying it for one person. Once a second adult or a teenager is in the picture the per-seat maths changes the answer completely, and the service that is cheapest for one is rarely the cheapest for four. This is the same four vendors, priced by household size.
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| Household | Lowest total cost | If you want human handling | DeleteMe, one year |
|---|---|---|---|
| One adult | Optery Core at $39 | Incogni Standard, $95.88 | DeleteMe 1 year, $129 |
| A couple | Incogni Family, $191.88 for up to 5 | DeleteMe 2 people 2 years, $349, works out at $87.25 each per year | DeleteMe 2 people 1 year, $229 |
| A family of four | Incogni Family, $191.88 for up to 5, about $47.97 each | DeleteMe 4 people 2 years, $499, about $62.38 each per year | DeleteMe 4 people 1 year, $329 |
| Six people | OneRep family, $180 for up to 6, about $30 each | Incogni Family covers 5, so the sixth needs a second plan | DeleteMe prices per seat above 4 |
Is DeleteMe worth the money?
The honest answer is that you are not paying for something you could not do. Every broker on every roster has a free opt-out form, and the whole first pass is achievable in an evening or two if you are stubborn about it. Our data broker opt-out list has the sites and what each one asks for before it will act.
What you are paying for is the second pass, and the fourth, and the eleventh. Broker listings repopulate. A profile removed in March is often rebuilt by September from a fresh batch of voter files, property records and purchased marketing data, and the removal you filed does not carry forward to the new record. That is the work almost everybody stops doing after the first round, and it is the actual product.
So price the renewal, not the first year. At $129 a year DeleteMe is asking roughly the cost of a streaming bundle to keep someone else doing a chore you will not. If you genuinely will keep doing it yourself, the free route is better than any of these and you should take it. If you know you will not, the question is only which service, and that comes down to whether the human handling is worth $33 a year more than Incogni.
For the wider category question, including where the free route runs out, our piece on whether data removal services are worth it works through it, and how much data removal costs covers the category rather than this one vendor. If you are shopping rather than renewing, our roundup of the best data removal services ranks the field.
Before you pay anyone
Do these three first, they are free
- 1. Find out how exposed you actually are. Some people are on a handful of sites and some are on dozens, and the answer changes whether $129 is good value or wasted. The scan at the top of this page is free and takes a moment.
- 2. Do the three or four worst sites yourself. The biggest people-search sites carry most of the damage, and each takes a few minutes. Start with the ones your own name actually returns.
- 3. Check back in ninety days. If the listings you removed are still gone, you may not need a subscription at all. If they are back, you have just learned exactly what the annual fee is for, on your own data rather than on a vendor's promise.
That third step is the one that settles it. Nobody should buy a maintenance product before confirming the thing being maintained actually comes back.
Frequently asked questions
How much does DeleteMe cost per month?
DeleteMe does not sell a monthly plan. The $8.71 a month shown on its pricing page is a two-year plan for one person, billed once at $209.00. The one-year plan for one person is $129.00, which works out at $10.75 a month if you divide it, but you still pay the whole $129 up front.
How much does DeleteMe cost per year?
$129.00 a year for one person, $229.00 a year for two people and $329.00 a year for four people on the one-year plans. On the two-year plans you pay $209.00, $349.00 or $499.00 once, covering twenty four months, which brings the yearly equivalent down to $104.50, $174.50 and $249.50.
How much does a DeleteMe subscription cost?
The cheapest DeleteMe subscription is $129.00 for one person for one year. The most expensive consumer plan is $499.00 for four people for two years. Business coverage is not priced publicly and DeleteMe asks you to contact its sales team. Every figure was read off DeleteMe's own US pricing page on 29 August 2026.
Is DeleteMe worth it?
It depends on whether your time is worth more than about $129 a year. The removals themselves are free to do yourself, and take roughly a full working day across the major brokers, then a few hours every quarter forever after because listings come back. DeleteMe is worth it if you will not keep doing that, and it is not if you will.
Is DeleteMe worth the money compared to Incogni?
Incogni is cheaper at $95.88 a year against $129, and covers a larger published site count at 420+ against DeleteMe's 30+. DeleteMe includes a named human working your queue and quarterly reports, which Incogni does not. If you want the lowest price, Incogni wins. If you want a person handling the brokers that resist automation, DeleteMe is the one that staffs it.
Is DeleteMe a scam?
No. DeleteMe has operated since 2011, publishes its prices openly, and states an A+ BBB rating and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on its own pricing page. The fair criticism is not that it is a scam, it is that no removal service can promise a permanent result, because brokers rebuild profiles from public records after you are removed.
Does DeleteMe have a monthly plan?
No. Every DeleteMe plan is prepaid for either one year or two years, and there is no month-to-month option at any tier. If a monthly rolling plan matters to you, Incogni at $14.99 a month, Optery at $3.99 a month on Core and OneRep at $14.95 a month all sell one, at a premium over their annual rates.
How much does DeleteMe cost for a family?
The family plan covers four people at $329.00 for one year or $499.00 for two years. The two-year family plan is the cheapest per person DeleteMe sells, at $62.38 per person per year. Two people cost $229.00 for a year or $349.00 for two. DeleteMe prices additional seats above four on request.
How much do removal services cost in general?
Between $39 and about $250 a year for one person. Optery Core is the cheapest paid entry at $39 a year and Optery also runs a free tier that shows your exposure without removing anything. Incogni is $95.88, OneRep about $99.96 and DeleteMe $129. Premium single-person tiers reach $179.88 at Incogni and $249 at Optery.
Does DeleteMe offer a refund?
DeleteMe advertises a 100% satisfaction guarantee on its pricing page but does not publish a refund window there, so ask support for the current terms before you buy. Incogni publishes a 30-day money-back guarantee and OneRep publishes a 30-day guarantee alongside a 5-day free trial, both stated plainly on their own pricing pages.
How many data broker sites does DeleteMe cover?
DeleteMe's own help content describes a standard subscription as removing your information from 30+ data broker websites, and its pricing page frames the result as an average of 15 public Google-able listings removed within days. That is a much smaller published number than Incogni's 420+ or Optery's 635+, which is worth weighing against the human handling DeleteMe includes.
What does DeleteMe business pricing cost?
DeleteMe does not publish business pricing. Its plans page lists Business as a separate track for protecting executives, critical employees or a whole organization, with a contact-sales button rather than a rate. Expect per-seat pricing negotiated on headcount, and expect it to be quoted annually, since none of its consumer plans bill monthly either.
Is DeleteMe cheaper if I pay for two years?
Yes, substantially. One person is $209.00 for two years against $258.00 for two consecutive one-year plans, a saving of $49.00. Four people are $499.00 for two years against $658.00 bought a year at a time, a saving of $159.00. The trade-off is that you commit two years to a service you may want to change.
Do I still need to do anything after I pay?
Yes, two things. Sites outside any service's standard roster need custom removal requests, which DeleteMe accepts and Incogni reserves for its Unlimited tiers. And nothing any service does stops new listings appearing, because brokers buy fresh public records continuously. Check your own exposure a few months in rather than assuming the report covers everything.
