Kanary vs Cartograph
Kanary costs $250 a year on Core, $500 on Advanced and covers site list published separately, no total on the pricing page. Cartograph costs $99.99 a year, files California's free deletion request for you, and is the only one of the two that scans what the AI models say about you and proves whether the answer changed. Cartograph is the cheaper of the two. Managed escalation on the Advanced plan, and it covers search engines and social media, not only brokers.
