HenryProtect vs Incogni: which is better if you live in Europe?
If you live in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria or the UK, HenryProtect does more of what matters to you, and it's free during the beta. Incogni is a solid, audited service, but it was built around the US: of the 420 brokers in its public list, 45 are marked as covering Europe. We make HenryProtect, so every claim about Incogni below links to its source.
Why people in Europe pick HenryProtect over Incogni
Built for where you live
HenryProtect writes to the companies that hold data on Europeans: sales databases, ad data companies, address traders and credit bureaus, about 200 to 330 of them per country. Incogni's public list marks 45 brokers for Europe.
See your risk before anything is sent
Our free scan checks the web, 3 leak databases and stealer logs, and gives you one risk score out of 100. Incogni's free scan looks at public and people search sites and doesn't check leaks.
Free, and rescanned every week
No subscription during the beta. We rescan every week and send a new request when your data comes back. Incogni Standard costs $95.88 a year.

Why Europe is different
US services were built to remove you from people search sites like Spokeo and Whitepages, which publish your address for anyone to look up. Those sites mostly don't list Europeans. In Europe your data sits with sales databases (ZoomInfo, Apollo, Lusha), ad data companies, address traders and credit bureaus. The tool that works there is a GDPR request, which every company that holds data on people in the EU must answer within a month. HenryProtect sends those requests in your name, sends the reminders, and keeps your data stored in the EU (Frankfurt).
Where Incogni is stronger
We'd rather you pick the right service than the wrong one, so here is where Incogni has the edge:
- Longer track record, and its process has been audited by Deloitte.
- Its Unlimited plan takes custom removal requests for sites you find yourself, from 3,000+ sites.
- If you also have a US address history, its long list of US people search sites helps.
HenryProtect is newer and has no audit yet, and our list of US people search sites is smaller. If you live in Europe, those matter less than who your data is actually with.
Already paying for Incogni?
You don't have to cancel anything to see the difference. Run our free scan: it takes about two minutes, and it shows where your data is, which leaks your email is in, and your risk score. Then decide.
We do this for you. You don't have to do anything.
- Autopilot sends the request to every company we find, plus dozens of other data brokers that likely hold your data.
- We send the reminders, handle the replies and keep track of the one-month deadline.
- We rescan you every week. If your data comes back, we send a new request.
- All you do is enter your name, confirm your email and give us permission. Free during the beta.
Questions
Is there a free alternative to Incogni?
Yes. HenryProtect is free during the beta, and built for Europe. You can also send GDPR requests yourself with our free letter generator.
Is Incogni good?
Incogni is an established service with a large broker list, owned by Surfshark and audited by Deloitte. Most of its public list is for the US, though, so check which brokers it covers in your country before you pay.
Why use a European service?
In Europe your data mostly sits with sales databases, ad data companies and credit bureaus, and the tool that works is a GDPR request. A service built for Europe targets those companies and writes to you in your own language.
