Incogni has great advertising claims, but it feels pretty expensive as an ongoing subscription. Have you used it or do you currently use it? Please tell me about it.

It sounds fishy to me tbh, I may be wrong but I also will not be surprised if something like the deal with honey comes out in a few years.

the thing with honey was fishy because they didn't have an obvious monetization plan, it was just a free extension. incogni has a subscription plan and its also an established business model so idk probably alright

Fair, but what happens if you stop paying? Is it possible for them to add a second subscription price like what we're seeing on streaming platforms?

I don't really know a lot about them, but sounds like something I'd stay away from.

they will stop contacting data brokers to remove your data when your subscription runs out. and I guess they could? not sure what it would pay for, but there's also other companies that provide the same service as them so you could swap

I hope you are correct.
