Privacy Bee vs Soryx

Privacy Bee scans for exposed personal information and works to remove it from data brokers and other sites through automation and human effort. Its dashboard displays a Privacy Risk Score and removal status, and the company says it documents removals with screenshots. An encrypted Identity Vault stores information used to monitor for exposures and start takedown requests. Plans include continuous monitoring because information can reappear after removal. Privacy Bee says its network includes 1,148 data brokers and 185,269 additional companies worldwide, though plan coverage varies: Essentials lists 517 data brokers, while Pro and Signature list 1,148. A free scan shows exposures without requiring a credit card, but is not described as a free trial of a paid plan. Essentials and Pro have a 30-day money-back guarantee; Signature does not. Privacy Bee says it cannot remove government records or some public records and does not provide reputation management for bad reviews. Android, iPhone, and iPad apps are available. Essentials costs $8 a month and Pro costs $16 a month, approximately when billed annually; Signature costs $67 a month, approximately when billed annually.

Soryx is a web service for finding, monitoring, and removing exposed personal information in data brokers, breach datasets, and the surface web. It sends formal erasure requests under GDPR Article 17 and tracks them through confirmation. On the Free plan, it will not remove information without the user's approval. Soryx schedules repeat scans and can automatically file another request if data is listed again. Its coverage includes EU, UK, and Irish brokers as well as major global people-search and sales-intelligence firms; the company says its catalogue grows weekly. Plans are offered for individuals, households, and businesses. Free includes a limited broker scan, three erasure filings, manual removal guides, and one persona. Individual costs €129.90 billed once a year, while Individual Premium costs €249.90 billed once a year; Family costs €499.90 billed once a year and supports up to five personas. Business pricing is tailored to the team. Soryx says it encrypts data in transit and at rest, and hosts its systems, database, and backups in Ireland. Its optional AI assistant is an exception, calling Anthropic under EU Standard Contractual Clauses with zero data retention.
