PCMag also compared Optery and DeleteMe in their review here:
I’m signed up for this service and while I am generally satisfied, they have placed some of the most common websites in their most expensive tier. If I contact their customer service, they write back with a condescending tone.

Hi! As a EU citizen who spent weeks sending GDPR requests back and worth with several data brokers I know just what a pain it is to get some data deleted. Even if it was only "trivial" stuff like things I have shopped for online (I always requested the data they had before requesting that they delete it) it was a laborious process.
