  • Mozilla has launched a paid subscription service called Mozilla Monitor Plus, which monitors and removes personal information from over 190 sites where brokers sell data.
  • The service is priced at $8.99 per month and is an extension of the free dark web monitoring service Mozilla Monitor (previously Firefox Monitor).
  • Basic Monitor members receive a free scan and one-time removal sweep, while Plus members get continual monthly data broker scans and removal attempts.

If I’m reading this correctly, are they basically just reselling the Onerep service ($14.95/monthly or $99.96/annually) for $8.99/month?

They're reselling it for $13.99/monthly or $107.88/annually.

So it's cheaper if you buy it for just one month at a time, but more expensive for the annual subscription... And there are other alternatives besides.

And there are other alternatives besides.

If you have a Discover card they'll do the monitoring/removal for free.
