Redacted vs Incogni
Incogni automates broad opt-outs across many countries. Redacted automates opt-outs and then independently verifies each removal. Here is how the two services compare.
Incogni figures below are directional marketing claims from public sources as of June 2026. Verify at incogni.com before making a purchase decision.
What Incogni does
Incogni, a product of Surfshark (part of Nord Security), automates data broker opt-out requests on your behalf. It claims coverage of 420+ brokers on entry tiers, with more available on higher plans, and operates across approximately 35 countries, making it one of the more internationally broad services available. Incogni assigns each broker a data-sensitivity score (0–10) and runs re-removal cycles roughly every 10–14 days. It does not offer a free scan tier; subscriptions start at around $7.99/mo on an annual plan. Incogni has added US identity-theft insurance as part of its sibling-product bundle. It does not publish before-and-after screenshots of individual removals.

Where Redacted is different
Proof for every verified removal
Every removal we call 'verified' comes with a before-and-after screenshot pair in your dashboard.
Independent re-check of the source
A broker reporting a removal done and Redacted confirming it at the source are two different events. They get two different status labels.
Nine honest status labels
'Broker confirmed' and 'independently verified' are separate labels because they carry different weight. Your dashboard always shows which one applies.
