Incogni vs SimpleLogin: They Don't Do the Same Thing

A comparison people search for constantly, between two products that don't compete.


These products don't compete — comparing their features is a category error. Incogni asks data brokers to delete personal information they already hold. SimpleLogin issues email aliases so you stop handing out one address. If your details are published on people-search sites, Incogni addresses that and SimpleLogin cannot. If your inbox is filling with mail from companies you signed up with, SimpleLogin addresses that and Incogni barely touches it.

Why people compare them anyway

Because both get filed under "privacy tools", and both are marketed against a similar feeling — that your personal information is out of your control. The feeling is the same; the mechanisms have almost nothing in common.

The practical consequence of confusing them is expensive: people buy a removal subscription because their inbox is unmanageable, then find months later that the inbox is unchanged. Removal doesn't unsubscribe you from anything, doesn't touch companies you have a direct relationship with, and doesn't affect the address you'll type into a checkout form next week.

Before buying either

Two free steps first

Search your own name. If very little is published, you don't have the problem Incogni solves and you'd be paying to remove records that aren't there.

If you're in California, the state runs DROP — one free verified request reaching every registered broker, which registered brokers have had to process since 1 August 2026. Try it before subscribing. Source: CPPA. Checked: 2026-08-19. How it works

Where we fit

We make an alias service, so we're on SimpleLogin's side of this line and not neutral about the category. What we'd say is that we've pointed you at a free state platform before mentioning ourselves, and that we don't do removal at all — so we're not offering a substitute for Incogni. Running both is entirely coherent if you have both problems.

Give every service its own address

Don't SPAM Me puts unlimited aliases on a domain you own. Any address at that domain starts working the first time mail arrives, and when spam turns up you know exactly which company leaked it. The software is free; you bring the domain, or register one during setup.
