Optery stands out for letting you see your exposure before committing. Its Free Basic plan gives a personalized exposure report with screenshots, a scan of Google and Bing results and self-service tools to file removals yourself, with reports every quarter. Paid plans automate the work. Core costs $3.25 per month billed yearly ($39) or $3.99 monthly and removes you from 375+ sites with monthly scans, but it is limited to one name and one city and state, and no human agent is assigned. Extended, at $149 a year, raises coverage to 555+ sites, allows unlimited name variations and past locations, assigns a human Privacy Agent and sends before and after screenshot reports about every 90 days. It can also blur your home on Google Maps and Apple Maps. Ultimate, at $249 a year, reaches 620+ sites and adds unlimited custom removal requests across 935+ sites in total. The spread between tiers is wide, so match the plan to how many names and addresses you need covered.
