Price captures verified 2026-08-09; overall scores unpublished
Leave DeleteMe only when a named job fails: pack-tracked broker automation, identity monitoring after freezes, or a VPN-plus privacy bundle. This shortlist keeps Incogni as the pack affiliate automation alternative (Standard $7.99/mo billed annually, 2026-08-09 USD capture), Aura when monitoring matters more than assisted removal research (Individual $12/mo billed annually the same day), and Surfshark One when network privacy is the leftover job (Starter from A$3.49/mo on a 24-mo plan; AUD geo capture, ISS-028). DeleteMe itself remains useful diligence at $129/yr 1 Person with no /go/ deal in this pack. We invent no overall scores and do not rank by affiliate payout.

Decision support
Qualitative fit only. We do not invent lab results, broker counts, or prices to close a shortlist.
No scored DeleteMe-alternative champion yet; overall score not yet published, see the verification register. Qualitatively pick Incogni when automated broker opt-outs are the leftover job after DIY. Pick Aura when monitoring and alerts matter more. Use Surfshark One only for VPN-plus privacy. DeleteMe stays comparison-only here at $129/yr 1 Person with no invented deal link.
Common triggers: want a pack-tracked automation CTA, need monitoring-heavy identity framing, or are shopping a privacy bundle for a different job. Geography also matters: DeleteMe plan cards state US residents only. Boredom and a competing ad are not jobs.
Incogni Standard at $7.99/mo billed annually (USD, 2026-08-09) fits when recurring automated opt-outs are the open problem. Unlimited and Family SKUs exist on the same pricing page; confirm live entitlements. Affiliate CTA via /go/incogni after free steps.
Aura Individual at $12/mo billed annually (USD, 2026-08-09) fits when alerts and broader identity extras matter more than assisted-removal diligence. Affiliate CTA via /go/aura after freezes and MFA. Do not buy Aura solely because DeleteMe lacks a deal button.
Surfshark Starter showed from A$3.49/mo on a 24-month plan for the research fetch geo (2026-08-09); USD US storefront was not returned (ISS-028). A VPN-plus bundle does not replace broker opt-outs or credit freezes.
If you only need a non-affiliate comparison column at $129/yr 1 Person and free opt-outs already cover most listings, you may not need a paid hop. Alternatives pages exist to clarify jobs, not to force a /go/ click.
Qualitative fit only until scores and prices are verified. View Deal always routes through first-party tracking.
