Incogni vs. DeleteMe: I compared the two best data removal services, and there's a clear winner

Incogni and DeleteMe are data removal services that can help you lock down your data, but they specialize in different areas. Read on to discover which service will suit you best.

To help you decide, I have researched and spoken with both organizations, broken down the key components of each business, listed what they offer consumers -- including their areas of specialization -- and found out what Incogni and DeleteMe have planned for the future. DeleteMe and many other competitors list hundreds of sites covered by their services, but in practice, scans are tailored and targeted depending on the types of records and where exposed PII is found. There are some interesting new projects and improvements in the works at DeleteMe, including new data broker additions, improved Google Street View blurring, real estate removal listings, Dark Web monitoring, expanded country coverage (including Brazil, Spain, and the Philippines), and enhanced identity masking, which will hopefully stop consumers having to hand over PII to organizations in the first place.
