The short answer
Mozilla Monitor Plus shut down on 17 December 2025. Data broker removal ended that day, all scan and removal data was deleted, and subscribers got automatic prorated refunds. Mozilla Monitor still exists and is still free, but it only sends breach alerts: it no longer scans or removes you from data broker sites. Monitor Plus cost $107.88 a year. EasyOptOuts at $19.99, Optery Core at $39 and Incogni at $95.88 all replace the removal for less.
The shutdown terms, refund rules and data-deletion details here were read on 22 September 2026 from Mozilla's own support article; the original price and the 190+ figure from Mozilla's launch announcement. We sell a competing product, which is why every number on this page has a source you can check.
Start here
Mozilla Monitor still works. The part you were paying for does not
Most of the "Mozilla Monitor alternative" lists you will find answer the wrong question. They recommend Have I Been Pwned and other breach-alert tools, which is roughly the same thing Mozilla Monitor already does for free, and still does. Breach monitoring was never the paid feature. The paid feature was scanning data broker sites and filing removal requests on your behalf, and that is exactly what Mozilla switched off.
So if you came here because your name, age and address are showing up on people-search sites, no free breach tool solves that, and neither does the Mozilla Monitor you still have an account for. You need a removal service. The table below separates what survived from what did not.
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| Feature | Still available? | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Breach alerts for your email addresses | Yes, free | Expanded to up to 20 email addresses per user after the shutdown |
| Data broker scan | No | Mozilla: "You can no longer start a data broker scan" |
| Automatic removal from data broker sites | No | All removal protections ended on 17 December 2025 |
| Your old scan results | No | Scan results from before 17 December are no longer available |
| Monthly rescans to catch relistings | No | This was the Plus feature and it is gone |
| Your stored Monitor Plus data | Deleted | Mozilla permanently deleted all scan results and removal requests |
Mozilla Monitor Plus pricing, replaced
What $107.88 a year buys now
Monitor Plus cost $8.99 a month billed annually, $107.88 a year, and advertised "more than 190+ data broker sites". That is a useful yardstick, because it is what you already proved you were willing to pay. Four of the seven services below cost less than that and publish a larger roster. The Consumer Reports column is the only independent measurement that exists for this category, from a 2024 study that tested seven services and called the category as a whole largely ineffective. Read that column carefully: the study tested specific plans, not brands, so Optery's headline 68 percent was measured on its $249 Ultimate tier and not on the $39 Core plan that most comparison articles attach it to.

| Service | Per year | Sites it publishes | What is gated | Consumer Reports 2024 | Why you would pick it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EasyOptOuts | $19.99 | 216 domains, itemized | Nothing gated, one plan | 65 percent, on the one plan it sells | The cheapest way to replace the removal, and it tested second best |
| Optery Core | $39 | 380+ with Expanded Reach, 150+ without | Expanded Reach is off by default | Not tested. The 68 percent was Optery Ultimate, $249 | The cheapest continuously monitored dashboard, with a free exposure tier |
| OneRep Individual | $99.96 | 318 people-search sites | 559 non-public sources are Pro only | Not tested | The same removal engine Monitor Plus used, bought direct |
| Incogni Standard | $95.88 | 420+ | Custom removals are Unlimited only | Not tested | Twice the sites Monitor Plus advertised, for less money |
| Privacy Bee Essentials | $96.00 | 1,132 claimed | 615 brokers need Pro or Signature | Not tested | Largest claimed roster, most of it gated above the entry plan |
| DeleteMe | $129 | 986, cumulative | Nothing gated | 27 percent, at this same $129 price | A human advisor and 40 custom requests a year |
| Kanary Core | $250 | "Highest-traffic sources" | Social media and AI sources are Advanced only | 34 percent, tested at the old $179.88 rate | Priced for doxxing and threat cases, not routine cleanup |
A note on the coverage column: these are each vendor's own published counts, and they are not measured the same way. DeleteMe's 986 is cumulative, Privacy Bee's 1,132 mostly sits above the entry plan, and Optery's headline figure depends on a setting that ships turned off. Our comparison of the best data removal services takes each of those apart.
Why Mozilla shut Monitor Plus down
Mozilla's public explanation is that it is refocusing resources on other privacy and security work. That is true as far as it goes, and it is also not the whole story. Monitor Plus never did its own removals: the work was performed by OneRep, and OneRep's ownership turned out to be a problem Mozilla could not live with.
| When | What happened |
|---|---|
| February 2024 | Mozilla launches Monitor Plus at $8.99 a month billed annually, $107.88 a year, advertising "more than 190+ data broker sites" and a monthly rescan. |
| 14 March 2024 | Brian Krebs reports that OneRep, the vendor performing Monitor Plus removals, was founded by Dimitri Shelest, who had launched dozens of people-search services since 2010 and held a stake in the data broker Nuwber. |
| March 2024 | Mozilla says it will wind down the OneRep partnership. |
| November 2025 | Mozilla confirms the partnership ends and that Monitor Plus will be discontinued. |
| 17 December 2025 | Monitor Plus shuts down. Broker removal protections end, all scan and removal data is permanently deleted, and prorated refunds are issued automatically. |
| Today | Mozilla Monitor still exists and is still free. It does breach alerts only, now for up to 20 email addresses. There is no paid Mozilla data broker removal product. |
The detail that matters if you are shopping for a replacement: the company whose ownership ended the partnership is still selling the same service directly, at $99.96 a year, and it is a perfectly functional product. Plenty of people will decide that is fine. Others will not want to pay the operator of people-search sites to remove them from people-search sites. That is a judgement call rather than a fact, and we have laid out what is actually known about OneRep's ownership so you can make it yourself. One small irony worth knowing: Nuwber, the data broker named in that reporting, is a site people routinely need to opt out of.
Refunds, deleted data, and removals that were still running
Your refund was automatic
Mozilla issued prorated refunds for unused time to the original payment method, with no need to cancel anything first. PayPal payments older than 180 days may have been refunded another way, with instructions sent by email. If yours failed, Mozilla said it would contact you.
Your scan data is gone
All Monitor Plus data, meaning both scan results and removal requests, was permanently deleted. You cannot export a list of which brokers had you. Your breach-monitoring history and monitored addresses were untouched.
In-flight removals are unmonitored
Mozilla says every request that had been initiated was sent to the broker. Nothing is now checking whether the broker complied, or whether it relisted you afterwards, which brokers routinely do.
That last point is the one people underestimate. A removal request is not a permanent state. Brokers rebuild records from fresh public and purchased data, so a profile that was taken down in November can be live again by spring, and there is no longer anything watching for it on your behalf. Mozilla's own advice is to visit each broker, find the "Do Not Sell My Personal Info" or "Exercise My Data Rights" link and file again yourself. That works, and it is also the reason this is a subscription category rather than a one-time purchase. Our data broker opt-out list has the direct links if you want to do the next round by hand.
How to replace Monitor Plus in four steps
Step 1
See what is actually live now
Your old Monitor Plus results were deleted, and brokers relist constantly, so start from a current scan rather than from memory. The scan at the top of this page checks people-search sites for your name.
Step 2
Decide how much coverage you need
If Monitor Plus at 190+ sites felt adequate, EasyOptOuts at $19.99 covers 216 and Incogni at $95.88 covers 420+. If you were never sure it was working, EasyOptOuts is the cheapest service with an independently measured result.
Step 3
Check what the entry plan actually reaches
This is where the category hides its pricing. Optery ships Expanded Reach off, Privacy Bee puts 615 brokers above Essentials, and OneRep keeps 559 sources on Pro. The table further down shows all of it.
Step 4
Buy annually, but check the refund window
Every service here is cheaper annually. EasyOptOuts gives 150 days, Incogni and DeleteMe 30. That window is your real test period, so run a scan at the start and again near the end.
What every service advertises, against what the entry plan reaches
We keep this table across every vendor review on the site, because the gap between a headline coverage figure and the coverage on the plan you actually buy is where most of the disappointment in this category lives. Monitor Plus is the first row, and it makes the point differently: a service can also be withdrawn entirely, which is the one failure mode no coverage number warns you about.
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| Service | Advertised | What the entry plan reaches | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mozilla Monitor Plus | 190+ (advertised at launch) | Nothing. The product no longer exists | The free Monitor that remains does breach alerts only |
| Kanary | 68k+ sites where it has found data | "The highest-traffic sources" on Core; 284 on its public site list | Social media, AI/LLMs and "full site coverage" are Advanced only, at double the price |
| PrivacyHawk | 100+ brokers and 10,000+ companies | 100+ data brokers on Premium | The 10,000+ are companies found through your inbox, not people-search sites |
| Malwarebytes | 100+ | 100+ on the $99.99 plan | Nothing gated, and level with PrivacyHawk as the smallest published roster |
| Cloaked | 1,000+ sites | 354 tagged data brokers, same on every plan | 705 of the 1,059 are companies Cloaked itself tags "Other website" |
| Coveron (formerly NordProtect) | No roster of its own | Nothing. Removal is Incogni, bundled | Its own feature list does not include data broker removal |
| LifeLock | Not published | A "smaller set" of brokers, per Norton support | Full agent-assisted removal is sold separately |
| Bitdefender | Not published | No removals at any tier | It monitors, you file the opt-outs |
| Norton | over 2,000 | 368 entries on the roster Norton publishes | Its own feature page says "over 200" |
| McAfee | Not published | "Scans only" on McAfee+ Premium | Removal starts at McAfee+ Advanced |
| EasyOptOuts | 200+ | 216 itemized, one plan | Nothing gated |
| Incogni | 420+ | 420+ on all four plans | Nothing gated |
| DeleteMe | 986 | 986 on every plan | Nothing gated, the figure is cumulative |
| Optery | 635+ | 405+ without Expanded Reach | 230 sites a tier, off by default |
| OneRep | 877 | 318 on Individual and Family | 559 non-public sources, Pro only |
| Privacy Bee | 1,132 | 517 on Essentials | 615 brokers, Pro and Signature only |
Which replacement fits which Monitor Plus subscriber
You bought it on price
EasyOptOuts, $19.99 a year
You were paying $107.88 largely because it came from Mozilla and felt safe. EasyOptOuts covers more domains for a fifth of the money, tested at 65 percent, and gives you 150 days to change your mind.
You want the best tested result
EasyOptOuts, or Optery Ultimate at $249
The 68 percent Consumer Reports result was measured on Optery Ultimate, not the $39 Core plan. EasyOptOuts scored 65 percent on the only plan it sells, for $19.99, which makes it the better-evidenced budget choice.
You want the widest routine coverage
Incogni Standard, $95.88 a year
420+ brokers on every plan with nothing gated except custom removals, and still less than Monitor Plus cost. The closest thing to a straight upgrade on the same budget.
You want a human in the loop
DeleteMe, $129 a year
A named advisor and 40 custom removal requests a year, for sites outside the standard roster. Costs more than Mozilla charged, and it is the option that handles the odd cases.
You liked what Monitor Plus did
OneRep Individual, $99.96 a year
This is literally the engine that powered Monitor Plus, bought direct and slightly cheaper. Read the ownership reporting first and decide whether it bothers you.
You are being doxxed or threatened
Kanary Advanced, $500 a year
Escalation, unlimited custom removals, social media and AI sources, and attorney general escalation. Overkill for routine cleanup, and the right call when there is a person targeting you.
One thing none of these fix, and Monitor Plus never fixed either: the search results themselves. Getting delisted from a broker does not immediately clear Google's cache of the page that listed you, which is usually what a person actually sees when they look you up. That is a separate request, and our guide to removing personal information from Google covers how to file it.
Mozilla Monitor Plus: common questions
Is Mozilla Monitor Plus discontinued?
Yes. Mozilla shut Monitor Plus down on 17 December 2025. Data broker removal protections ended that day, all scan and removal data was permanently deleted, and subscribers received automatic prorated refunds for unused time. Mozilla Monitor itself still exists as a free breach-alert service, but there is no paid Mozilla data broker removal product any more.
What is the best Mozilla Monitor Plus alternative?
It depends on your budget. EasyOptOuts at $19.99 a year is the cheapest like-for-like replacement, covers 216 domains, which is more than Monitor Plus advertised, and scored 65 percent in the Consumer Reports test on the only plan it sells. Optery Core at $39 adds continuous monitoring and a dashboard. Incogni at $95.88 covers 420+ brokers. All three cost less than the $107.88 you were paying.
Why did Mozilla shut down Monitor Plus?
Mozilla's stated reason was refocusing resources on other privacy and security initiatives. The background is that Monitor Plus removals were performed by OneRep, and in March 2024 Brian Krebs reported that OneRep's founder had launched dozens of people-search sites and held a stake in the data broker Nuwber. Mozilla began winding the partnership down within days of that report.
Did Mozilla Monitor Plus subscribers get a refund?
Yes, automatically. Mozilla issued prorated refunds for unused subscription time to the original payment method, with no need to cancel first. PayPal payments older than 180 days may have been refunded by an alternate method, with instructions sent by email. Privacy Protection Plan bundle subscribers were refunded the Monitor Plus portion and moved to a cheaper VPN and Relay plan.
Is Mozilla Monitor still free?
Yes. Mozilla Monitor remains free and continues to send breach alerts, and Mozilla expanded free monitoring to up to 20 email addresses per user after the shutdown. What it no longer does is scan data broker sites or request removals. If your goal is getting your name and address off people-search sites, the free Monitor does not do that.
How much did Mozilla Monitor Plus cost?
Mozilla priced Monitor Plus at $8.99 a month billed annually, which is $107.88 a year, and contemporaneous reporting put the month-to-month option at $13.99. It advertised coverage of more than 190 data broker sites with a monthly rescan. Several services now cover more sites for less than that annual figure.
Mozilla Monitor vs DeleteMe: which should I use?
They no longer do the same job. Mozilla Monitor is a free breach-alert tool and does not remove you from data broker sites. DeleteMe is a paid removal service at $129 a year covering 986 brokers, with a human advisor and 40 custom removal requests. If you want removals, Monitor is not an option at any price, because Mozilla stopped selling it.
Can I still use OneRep now that Mozilla dropped it?
Yes, OneRep still sells directly at $99.96 a year for its Individual plan covering 318 people-search sites. You would be buying the same removal engine Monitor Plus used, for less than Mozilla charged. Whether that is comfortable is a judgement call: it is worth reading the ownership reporting that ended the Mozilla partnership before you subscribe.
What happened to my Mozilla Monitor Plus scan results?
They were permanently deleted. Mozilla removed all Monitor Plus data, including data broker scan results and removal requests, as part of the shutdown, and results from scans run before 17 December are no longer viewable. Your breach-monitoring history and monitored email addresses were not affected and remain in your free account.
Do I need to redo the removals Monitor Plus started?
Possibly. Mozilla says every removal request that had been initiated was already sent to the applicable brokers, but it advises following up yourself, because nothing is now tracking whether brokers complied or relisted you. Brokers commonly repost records, so a fresh scan is the only way to see what is live now rather than what was requested.
