GhostMyData VS Margin.computer

GhostMyData's answer

More coverage (1,500+ brokers), lower price ($9.99/mo vs $14.98 for Incogni), free scan with 3 free trial removals (no credit card), family plans covering 5 members, and transparent compliance reporting. We also use dual search engines (Google + Brave) to find exposures competitors miss.

Margin.computer's answer:

Classic student planners like My Study Life or myHomework are good at manual entry - you type each assignment in yourself. Margin removes that step for Canvas schools: it reads your courses and fills the list for you. Compared with extensions that restyle the whole Canvas interface, Margin does one job - everything due, in one calm view. The free tier is genuinely permanent (it keeps your week ahead current, no card), and the Margin Pass is a one-time $9.99 per semester that does not auto-renew, which is rare in a subscription-heavy category.

GhostMyData's answer

We cover 1,500+ data broker sites — 3.5x more than Incogni and 17x more than DeleteMe's auto-removal. We send legally-enforceable CCPA deletion requests, not just opt-out forms. And we publish a live broker compliance report showing which brokers actually delete your data and which ignore requests.

Margin.computer's answer:

Most student planners make you type every assignment in by hand. Margin fills itself: it reads your Canvas courses in your browser and keeps your assignments and due dates in one calm view - everything due, nothing else. Two details set it apart. Overdue work stays visible instead of quietly dropping off the list (Canvas's own to-do feed only shows a narrow window, which is how deadlines get missed). And calm is treated as a feature: no streaks, no gamification, no notifications begging for attention. Assignments can optionally be sent to Todoist.

GhostMyData's answer

Privacy-conscious individuals and families who want their personal data removed from people-search sites and data brokers. Also businesses protecting employees from social engineering attacks that exploit exposed personal data.

Margin.computer's answer:

College students at schools that run Canvas LMS - anyone juggling four to six courses who is tired of clicking into each one to find out what is due. It suits students who want a quiet list rather than another productivity system to maintain: open it, see what is coming, get back to work. Students who already live in Todoist can send assignments across; everyone else needs nothing beyond the extension.

GhostMyData's answer

I discovered my full name, home address, phone numbers, and family members' details were publicly listed on hundreds of people-search sites — available to anyone for under a dollar. After spending 40+ hours manually submitting opt-out forms, I realized the data just comes back. So I built GhostMyData to automate the entire process.

Margin.computer's answer:

Margin started as a personal tool. A college student kept finding out about deadlines later than he should have, even though they were technically in Canvas the whole time - just spread across course pages and a to-do feed that only shows a narrow window. He built the single view he wanted, and it grew into a proper extension. The notebook look - cream paper, one red margin line - is deliberate: a planner should lower your pulse, not raise it. It shipped on the Chrome Web Store in July 2026, with a small e-paper desk display for the same calm list in development alongside it.

GhostMyData's answer

Next.js, React, TypeScript, Prisma ORM, PostgreSQL, Vercel, Resend for transactional email, Amazon SES for broker CCPA emails, Google and Brave Search APIs for exposure detection.

Margin.computer's answer:

A Chrome extension on Manifest V3, built in plain JavaScript with no heavyweight framework - it reads Canvas through the student's own signed-in browser session. The optional Todoist connection uses the Todoist API. The companion desk display in development runs on e-paper. The guiding constraint throughout is smallness: a quiet tool that does one job.
