Data-removal services, compared straight.
Every national data-removal brand is a subscription that renews until you remember to cancel. We price the work once. Here is how the field actually stacks up in 2026 — including where the others genuinely win.
The comparisons
- DeleteMe vs Protect Indiana — $129 per year for one person, $229 for two, $329 for a family of four.
- Incogni vs Protect Indiana — about $7.99 a month billed annually (≈$96/year) for the standard plan.
- Aura vs Protect Indiana — roughly $9–17 a month depending on plan and promo (commonly ≈$144+/year).
- Optery vs Protect Indiana — a free tier that shows you where you're exposed.
The short version
All of these services do a version of the same job: filing opt-outs with data brokers. The differences that matter are how you pay (their subscriptions renew forever; our Sweep is $99 once), what's included (only our Fix, $249 once, also locks down the email, passwords, alerts, and devices behind the listings), and who answers (our 24/7 Indiana scam line is free to everyone, customer or not: 1-888-985-6187).
Start free — see what you're actually dealing with
Before paying anyone — them or us — get the free Exposure Report: one second, instant results showing which data leaks your email was in and what is publicly exposed. Then decide what it's worth to fix.
What Protect Indiana does differently
We are an Indiana service, not a national subscription — and you see the problem before you pay a dollar: the free Exposure Report above shows what is already out there about you. Then one flat price ends it. The Sweep, $99 once — every people-search removal filed for you and confirmed as it comes down. The Fix, $249 once — the Sweep plus the lockdown no broker service touches: the email account every password resets through, leaked passwords retired, bank and phone-carrier alerts, and the devices themselves. Nothing renews unless you choose ongoing On Watch. The 24/7 scam help line stays free for every Hoosier, customer or not: 1-888-985-6187.

The guarantee no subscription offers: work your plan with us for 30 days; if you do not agree you are meaningfully safer, one email refunds you in full — and you keep the report, the plan, and everything we filed. The plain-English terms →
Is a subscription ever the right call?
Honestly, sometimes. If you want automated re-removal running continuously for years and will keep paying, Incogni or Optery do that shape well. If you want a thorough pass, a confirmed result, and a household that is actually locked down — that is what we sell, once.
What can I do completely free?
Two things: work through our step-by-step opt-out guides for every major people-search site, and freeze your credit at the three bureaus (free by law). Those two moves alone put you ahead of most households.
