EasyOptOuts vs Optery (2026): Which Removes More, for Less?

Updated 2026-10-18 · Prices and policies checked 2026-10-18 · No hands-on testing

Short answer

Start with EasyOptOuts. Consumer Reports measured them close together (65% vs 68%), and EasyOptOuts costs $19.99 a year against $249 for the Optery plan tested. Optery covers far more sites (up to 625+ vs 200+), adds screenshot proof, and has a free scan, so a good approach is Optery’s free scan first, then EasyOptOuts, and Optery Extended or Ultimate only if many listings remain.

EasyOptOuts in brief

On independent evidence and price, EasyOptOuts is the strongest default. Consumer Reports measured it at 65% removal after four months, nearly matching Optery’s top plan, for $19.99 a year. Its list is shorter, so pair it with the free manual opt-outs in our guides for the sites it skips. Full EasyOptOuts review.

Optery in brief

Optery has the best independent effectiveness result of any paid plan, plus a useful free tier. The catch is price: that result came from the $249 Ultimate plan. Start free, and upgrade only if your scan shows listings that cheaper services don’t cover. Full Optery review.
