Incogni vs Optery: which should you pick?
The hands-off value pick against the evidence-first pick — price, proof, and supported regions split them. Optery wins our overall scoring (89.2 vs 89.0 out of 100). That margin is too thin to show in the published score. The right choice still depends on the job you need done.

Decision table
Which one fits your situation
| Your situation | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You want the cheapest broad hands-off plan | Incogni | $95.88/yr covers the same 420+ automated brokers as every Incogni tier; Optery's screenshot proof starts at $149/yr on Extended. |
| You want before-and-after screenshot proof | Optery | Extended and Ultimate deliver removal reports with before-and-after screenshots about every 90 days; Incogni's proof is confirmations and status history. |
| You want a free look before paying | Optery | Free Basic produces an Exposure Report with likely profile links and screenshots; Incogni has no free scan or free tier. |
| You live in the U.K., the EU, or Quebec | Incogni | Optery's consumer availability is limited to the U.S., Canada outside Quebec, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; Incogni covers the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and the EU. |
| You want the stronger overall score | Optery | Optery edges it on our weighted scoring, on the strength of the best proof trail here and two independent outcome studies. |
Our verdict
Pick by situation, not by score alone
Choose Optery if…
you want to see the removals rather than be told about them. Extended and Ultimate send reports with before-and-after screenshots roughly every 90 days. A person checks the matches, and two outside studies back the results. Free Basic shows you the damage first. The catch is the plan ladder. Core is a robot plan and a thin one, and hand-done removals sit on the top plan.
Choose Incogni if…
you want the widest hands-off coverage for the least money. Or you live in the U.K., the EU or Quebec, where Optery does not sell to consumers. Every Incogni tier covers the same automated broker set, so the cheapest plan is not a cut-down one. The trade is evidence: you get confirmations and status history rather than a screenshot of each listing.
The bottom line
Optery takes the overall win on our weighted scoring, but each of these wins a specific job — match the strengths to your situation. See the full category comparison for the rest of the field.
