Incogni vs Protect Indiana
Shopping for data removal? Here is the straight comparison — including where Incogni genuinely wins. An informed choice beats a captive one.
What Incogni costs
Incogni runs about $7.99 a month billed annually (≈$96/year) for the standard plan; the unlimited tier is ≈$180/year; roughly double if you pay monthly.
What Incogni does well
Incogni (from the Surfshark/NordVPN family) sends automated removal requests to a long list of data brokers and keeps re-sending them. It is cheap to start and genuinely automated.
The difference
Incogni is a subscription that quietly renews — ≈$96 every year, ≈$192 after two. It is also almost entirely automated email volume; nobody checks your listings by hand or tells you what a scam text means. Our $99 Sweep is one flat charge with a human confirming what actually came down, our $249 Fix hardens the household itself, and the 24/7 scam line is free either way.
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.
Make it stop — one flat price What each service includes →
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 →
When Incogni is the better pick
If you want fire-and-forget automation and will genuinely keep the subscription running for years, Incogni's per-year price is the lowest of the big national brands.
Can I just do all of this myself, free?
Yes. Every major people-search site has a free opt-out, and we publish step-by-step guides for each one at protectindiana.org/removal — no purchase required. Paid services, ours included, sell the time and the follow-through, not the right.
Why is one-time pricing rare in this industry?
Subscriptions are better for the seller: renewal revenue compounds. We price one-time because most households want a thorough pass and a clear result, not another quiet annual charge. If you want ongoing watch afterward, that exists — but it is a choice, never a default.
