About the brand

What's behind Onerep's 870+ broker count
Although Onerep's numbers aren’t far off other services’, the scope of Onerep’s data removal is pretty limited—this table explains why. For comprehensive coverage, you have to pay for the Pro plan. The basic tier covers only people search sites. Numbers refer to basic/Pro plans.¹

* We used the CCPA definition. Under it, first-party collectors collect your data when you interact with them and may use tracking cookies to serve you ads. However, they are not legally classified as data brokers because they do not derive a legally defined threshold of their revenue from selling that data to third parties.
Onerep pricing for individuals
Both Onerep plans include automated removals, monthly scans, breach monitoring, and unlimited phone numbers, addresses, and names.
Plans and prices
The Individual plan costs $14.95/mo or $99.95/yr. The Pro plan costs $29.95/mo or $191.40/yr.
What changes by tier
Individual plan covers 317 people-search sites. Pro adds 524 brokers, a privacy expert, and unlimited custom removals.
How the price compares
Both Onerep plans cost slightly more than Incogni equivalents while covering fewer sites. Pro costs less than Optery's top tier.
Onerep pricing for pairs and families
Onerep offers two family plans, each covering up to 6 people, but doesn't offer plans for couples.
Pair, family, and group plans
Family costs $27.95/mo or $179.95/yr ($15/mo), while Family Pro is $55.95/mo or $359.40/yr ($29.95/mo).
What changes by tier
Family plans match individual plan coverage. The owner adds members and warrants their consent; each member gets own dashboard.
How the price compares
Onerep offers the best per-seat value on standard plans. Its top tier is slightly pricier than Incogni's but cheaper than others.
Onerep removal cycle: what happens and when
The cycle usually takes 30 days, from completing your user profile, through the first scan and removal requests, to another scan.
Phase 1
Onboarding
Complete user profile with your data. If subscribed to the Pro plan, also provide consent for non-public data broker opt-outs.
Phase 2
First scan and requests
After onboarding, Onerep uses the provided data to scan covered people search sites.
Phase 3
First removals confirmed
It depends on the data broker; removal requests can take days or weeks to process.
Phase 4
Ongoing re-checks
Onerep runs re-scans every 30 days. It also launches a scan every time you edit your personal information on the user's dashboard.

Full name (and its variations), phone numbers, addresses (primary plus past), email, and date of birth.
Multiple IDs

Difficult cases and escalation
Human assistance only for Pro subscribers; basic tier is fully automated—if needed, Onerep sends follow-up requests.

Onerep has not yet been independently tested.
How custom removals work at Onerep
How to request one
You can submit the exact URL of each exposed profile directly through your dashboard to start the removal process.
Who handles it
Onerep provides human assistance throughout the process.
Turnaround
The maximum time for the custom removal process is not guaranteed - it depends on the case.

How Onerep reports back to you
You can check progress in the Users dashboard, and Onerep also sends monthly reports to your inbox.
Dashboard layout
The dashboard shows profiles found, removed, and in progress, and the removal rate.
Details per request
The dashboard lists request statuses, exposed-record links, and resolution estimates.
Email reports and alerts
All subscribers receive monthly reports.
Proof of removal
“Removed” status means Onerep verified that the profile no longer exists.
Onerep trial, refunds and cancellations
Onerep's trial is short and needs payment details upfront, so the removal service can't be tested for free. Things to watch for: the 5-day trial converts to a paid plan automatically unless you cancel; the 30-day refund covers the first payment only, and the Terms of Service mention written notice of non-renewal.
Free trial
✓ (5 days, have to cancel earlier)
Free scan
✓ (free exposure report)
Money-back guarantee
✓ (30 days, first payment only)
Cancellation
via dashboard
Auto-renewal
✓ (you can avoid it by cancelling your subscription earlier)
Onerep extras and bundles
Standalone product
Onerep comes only as a standalone product, meaning it isn’t part of any larger bundles or packages from other companies.
What Onerep users say
Reviews highlight a basic challenge: data can return, making ongoing removal important. Trust is another recurring concern.²
Hands-off service with monthly progress reports
Customers like that Onerep runs in the background and sends regular reports with little effort required.
Many listings removed for some users
Some reviewers report that most discovered listings were removed within months, with scans catching new ones.
Some invited reviewers praise support
Reviewers credit named support reps with helping by phone or chat, including with stubborn brokers.
Removals can stall or reappear
Customers report listings stuck “in progress” for a year, or removals slowing as new listings appear.
Founder's ties to people search sites raise concerns
Users cite reporting about the founder’s past links to people search sites and question the service's trustworthiness.
Some report unexpected charges or scans
A few reviewers say they received scans or charges they did not request, or paid heavily for limited removals.
Is Onerep trustworthy?
Thin organic footprint
Onerep has 238 Trustpilot reviews (96% were invited). First-hand Reddit feedback is also thin—only 3 reviews out of 32 posts.
Onerep’s CEO ties
After a March 2024 report linked Dimitri Shelest to a data broker called Nuwber, Mozilla ended its partnership with Onerep.
Data security
Onerep states data is encrypted in transit and at rest on US MS Azure servers; Johanson Group LLP did its SOC 2 examination.
Is Onerep the right fit?
Onerep is a convenient option for cleaning up people-search listings, but broader coverage requires the expensive Pro plan.
If you're looking for data removals for yourself
The basic plan is cheap but covers only people search sites. Treat Pro as the real option if wider broker coverage matters.
If you're looking for data removals for your family
The Family plan covers six people. It's good value only if people-search removal is enough.
If you are weighing a privacy bundle against a DRS
Weigh your concerns about the founder’s past broker links and decide whether people search site removals are all you need.

Common questions about Onerep
Cancelling stops renewal; removals continue until the paid period ends. Your data is kept as long as your account exists (browsing and location data up to 1 year). There’s no delete button: email or call Onerep to request deletion. Some records may be kept for tax or legal reasons.
Onerep is worth it when people-search cleanup is your main goal, particularly for families: its $179.95 annual Family plan covers up to six people. For individuals, the $99.95 annual Basic plan is fairly priced, but Pro costs much more and is necessary for wider broker coverage and custom removals.
Onerep offers a convenient, hands-off service with monthly re-scans, unlimited identity variations, and competitively priced family plans. Its basic plan handles people search sites only, though, while wider coverage, human help, and custom removals require Pro. Its founder’s past broker links also remain a trust concern.
The Reddit footprint is thin: only about 3 first-hand reports among 32 posts, so no reliable sentiment. The recurring topic is trust: several users point to Krebs on Security's reporting on the founder's past ties to people search sites.
Of 238 Trustpilot reviews, 96% were company-invited and almost all positive, some mentioning monthly reports. Of the 9 organic reviews, 6 are negative: three cite slow or stalled removals, two say they were charged or sent scans without signing up.
Yes, 12 in three years: three marked resolved, nine answered. Most concern trial or renewal charges and cancellations. Onerep usually refunded, stated notices went to the registered email, and explained that removals take two to eight weeks.
