DeleteMe or Optery: which should I buy?
Optery costs $39 a year on Core, $149 on Extended, $249 on Ultimate, DeleteMe costs $129 a year for one person. Buy Optery if price decides it. Buy DeleteMe if you want fourteen years of operation, and a human reviews the hard cases. We do not have either yet. Neither reads what the AI models say about you, which is the gap Cartograph was built for.

Where they are ahead
- DeleteMe. Fourteen years of operation, and a human reviews the hard cases. We do not have either yet.
- Optery. Screenshot evidence of each removal, a free exposure scan, and by far the widest site list at the top tier.
Where we are different
We show what the AI models say about you, and we publish a correction page they can read. DeleteMe does not scan models at all. Optery counts sites. We count what a stranger can still assemble about you, including from the models, and we name the four places automation cannot reach.
