Kanary has moved toward people with a specific threat model rather than casual buyers. The Core plan, $250 per year per account, finds and removes exposed data on search engines and data brokers, with monthly scans, monthly managed removal requests and 24 to 48 hour email support. Advanced, $500 per year, adds social media and AI/LLM site types, weekly scans and options for daily scans, unlimited custom removals, address confidentiality enrollment and escalation to state attorneys general, though Kanary notes some advanced configurations cost extra. Family members are 50% off on either plan, and a mobile app shows results and escalations. Teams of 5 or more seats get SSO, an API and a SOC 2 certified setup for protecting executives or clients. For most households the price is hard to justify against Incogni or Optery, but the social media and AI coverage is uncommon.
