Recordwell VS GhostMyData

Recordwell's answer

• Searching is free; a full report is a monthly plan ($9.95 for the first month, then $24.95 a month, three reports a month).
• A report keeps namesakes apart instead of merging everyone with the same name.
• Checking your own name and removing your own data are free.
• Results don't include phone numbers or email addresses.

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.

Recordwell's answer

Recordwell ties records to one person instead of to a name:

• two independent details must agree before records are treated as one person;
• people who merely share a name are kept separate, with confidence labeled;
• every report shows which checks completed, failed or were not run.

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.

Recordwell's answer

Consumers in the United States who want to look up a person by full name, or check what public records show under their own name. Recordwell is not a consumer reporting agency, so it is not for employment, tenant, credit or insurance decisions.

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.

Recordwell's answer

Recordwell launched in September 2026 as a US people search by full name. It was built to tie returned records to one person, keep people who merely share a name apart, and show the evidence behind every line.

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.

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.

GhostMyData's answer:

• Individual privacy-conscious consumers
• Families protecting household members (up to 5 per plan)
• Businesses protecting employee data from social engineering
