In this segment of the video, the speaker compares two data removal services: DeleteMe and Incogni. They explain that while DeleteMe claims to remove information from around 580 data brokers, it’s unclear how relevant this is since not all brokers might hold one’s data. The speaker prefers Incogni due to its better user interface and transparency in showing which data is removed. They highlight that Incogni is likely to benefit from significant investment from its parent companies, making it potentially more robust than the smaller DeleteMe. Furthermore, Incogni is considered more affordable, offering both monthly subscriptions and a yearly plan that is cheaper than DeleteMe’s annual fee. The speaker concludes that despite DeleteMe’s claims, Incogni’s ease of use, better pricing, and potential for growth make it the preferred choice.
