Optery Pricing: Every Plan, Monthly vs Yearly, and Renewals

As of September 2026, Optery pricing starts at free. The Free Basic plan gives you exposure reports and self-service opt-out tools. Paid plans are Core at $3.99 a month or $39 a year, Extended at $14.99 a month or $149 a year, and Ultimate at $24.99 a month or $249 a year, in US dollars. Each paid plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee for individual accounts, and subscriptions renew automatically.

All figures here come from Optery’s own pricing page, family page and terms of service, checked in September 2026. This is research-based: we haven’t held an Optery account. Prices change and Optery runs promotions, so check Optery’s pricing page for current prices before you buy.

Optery plans and prices

Here’s what Optery’s US pricing page listed in September 2026.

Plan	Billed monthly	Billed yearly	Yearly price per month	Automated removal coverage
Free Basic	Free	Free	Free	None (self-service opt-outs)
Core	$3.99	$39	$3.25	380+ sites (150+ without Expanded Reach)
Extended	$14.99	$149	$12.42	560+ sites (330+ without Expanded Reach)
Ultimate	$24.99	$249	$20.70	635+ sites (405+ without Expanded Reach)

The site counts assume you switch on a setting Optery calls Expanded Reach. Without it, each plan covers fewer sites, so check your settings if coverage matters to you.

Optery’s pricing page has a country selector for the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. We’ve used the US prices. If you live in one of the other countries, check the price Optery shows for your country.

What each Optery plan includes

Free Basic

No credit card is needed. You get a personalized exposure report with screenshots, a scan of your Google and Bing results, self-service removal tools, a phone and email scan preferences tool, and standard email support. You can add unlimited name variations and past cities for the self-service tools. Optery’s own suggestion is to start here and then decide whether you need a paid plan.

Core

Everything in Free Basic, plus automated removals from 380+ sites, with monthly automated scans and removals, progress and risk reporting, and automatic opt-outs from newly supported brokers. It’s fully automated, with no human privacy agent. The big limit: removals cover a maximum of one name and one city and state per user.

Extended

Everything in Core, plus removals from 560+ sites, unlimited name variations and past cities for removals, an assigned human privacy agent for special circumstances, removals reports with before-and-after screenshots about every 90 days, and blurring of your home on Google Maps and Apple Maps.

Ultimate

Everything in Extended, plus removals from 635+ sites, unlimited custom removal requests covering 950+ sites in total (you become eligible after 30 days), outdated-content removal tool submissions for Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and Yahoo, and priority email support.

Monthly vs yearly billing

Optery’s pricing page says switching to yearly billing saves about a sixth of the cost. In dollars, a year of monthly billing costs $47.88 on Core, $179.88 on Extended and $299.88 on Ultimate, against $39, $149 and $249 billed yearly.

Billing	Good for	Watch out for
Monthly	Testing a paid plan, or a short cleanup before a move or a job search	Higher cost over a year; Ultimate’s custom removals only start after 30 days
Yearly	Ongoing re-checks, since listings reappear	Paying up front; the renewal a year later

Because the free plan already shows your exposure, many people can test Optery without paying monthly at all: look at the free report, then decide which paid tier, if any, you need.

Renewals, refunds and other terms

Optery’s terms of service and pricing page set out the rules:

• Auto-renewal. Paid plans renew automatically for the same length of term you chose, at the then-current non-promotional rate, unless you cancel.
• Promotions. In September 2026, Optery’s site showed a seasonal promo code. A promotional price doesn’t carry into renewal, so budget on the list price.
• Cancelling. You can cancel from the Plans and Billing section of your account page at any time, which stops auto-renewal.
• Refunds. Optery offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid plans. Its pricing page says it applies to individual (consumer) accounts only, not business accounts, and that it will refund in full if you ask within 30 days. Its terms point to its help desk for the full refund policy.
• Authorized agent. Optery’s terms appoint it as your authorized agent for removals until the removal service is cancelled.
• Taxes. Its terms say you’re responsible for taxes associated with your use of the service.

Family pricing

Optery’s family page says you can protect unlimited family members and friends, and that the more people you cover, the bigger the discount, up to 30% off. You manage members from one family page. The pricing page doesn’t list fixed family prices, so check Optery’s site for the exact price for your household.

Is Optery worth the price?

It depends on how exposed you are and how much of the work you want to do yourself. A paid plan is most useful if:

• the free report shows you on many sites, especially sites you can’t easily opt out of by hand
• you’ve moved or changed names, so you need Extended’s unlimited names and past cities
• you want screenshot reports to check that removals happened

It’s less useful if the free report shows only a few listings you can clear yourself. And every service shares the same limits: listings reappear when brokers buy new data, some sites ignore requests, and public records such as court and property records stay public. Our guide on whether data removal services are worth it covers this decision, and our explainer on how data broker removal services work shows what happens after you sign up.

A worked example

This is an illustrative scenario, not a real client.

Daniel, a freelance photographer in Oregon, wants his home address off people-search sites because clients can find him too easily.

1. Free first. He signs up for Free Basic and reviews the exposure report. It shows his current address on a handful of sites and one old address in another state.
2. Core looks enough. His listings are under one name, and the old address matters less to him, so Core’s one name and one city limit fits. At $39 a year, he chooses yearly billing.
3. What he’d upgrade for. If new listings under the old city keep appearing, Extended ($149 a year) covers past cities and adds screenshot reports.
4. Renewal reminder. He notes that renewal is at the non-promotional rate and sets a reminder a few weeks before the year ends.

Cheaper and free alternatives to Optery

• Optery’s own free plan. Free Basic plus your own opt-outs may be all you need.
• The DIY route (free). Our data broker opt-out list and our guide to removing yourself from people-search sites cover the main brokers, with site guides such as the Spokeo opt-out.
• State tools (free). Californians can send one deletion request to registered data brokers through the DROP platform under the California Delete Act.
• Our free Reputation Scanner, launching soon. This is our own tool and it isn’t live yet. It’s a self-search tool that will find harmful results about you, rank them by seriousness, and draft removal requests (including for personal information or doxxing) that you review and send yourself. It will be free to use, with no account and no billing. It doesn’t replace automated broker opt-outs. See the Reputation Scanner page.

Our products don’t do credit monitoring, identity theft insurance or breach monitoring.

If your problem is a news story, review or post rather than a listing, our content removal service is the better starting point.

Common pricing mistakes

• Buying Core when you’ve moved. Core covers one name and one city and state for removals.
• Forgetting Expanded Reach. The headline site counts assume it’s switched on.
• Budgeting on a promo price. Renewal is at the non-promotional rate.
• Buying Ultimate for one custom removal in week one. Custom removals become available after 30 days.
• Missing the refund window. The money-back period is 30 days, so check your report early.
