A stranger can find your home address in 2 clicks. Are you OK with that? We're not. Your name, home address, phone number, employer, and even your family members' details are published on sites across the web-and sold to anyone who pays. Scammers, stalkers, and fraudsters don't need to hack anything. They just need to search. Safety starts with personal data privacy. Incogni scans the web for your exposed personal data, shows you exactly what's out there, and helps remove it at the source-so the people who shouldn't find you, can't. How Incogni protects you: ▸ Finds your exposures for you: Incogni scans broadly across the web, surfacing sites that list your personal data-you no longer have to go looking for it yourself ▸ Helps remove your data at the source: Removal Engine submits and tracks removal requests to sites and databases publishing your personal information, starting with 420+ data brokers and people-search sites ▸ Helps stop online threats from becoming real-world ones: removing your home address, workplace, and family details from public listings makes you a lot harder to find by the wrong people ▸ Helps prevent targeted scams and identity fraud: exposed personal details are what fraudsters use to make their attacks look credible-less of you out there means less for them to work with ▸ Keeps going: personal data has a habit of reappearing, so Incogni resubmits removal requests whenever your data shows up again Incogni app features: ▸ Exposure Scanner (Unlimited): Incogni scans as much of the web as possible to find sites listing your personal information and brings everything into one place. You review the results and choose what you want gone-one or two clicks-and our removal specialists handle the entire removal request process ▸ Incogni's Removal Engine: our proprietary system automates your data removal requests at scale, starting with 420+ data brokers, and handles some of the complex, custom removals that other services still do by hand ▸ Personal Risk Assessment (Unlimited): a monthly downloadable report showing your overall privacy risk level, what data is exposed and where it was found, and your risk across three categories-physical safety, personal exposure, and scam & spam. Includes actionable tips tailored to your specific exposure ▸ Custom removals: found something yourself? You can still submit links to sites exposing your data, and we handle the rest ▸ Track progress: see detailed views of every removal request sent on your behalf, what's already been removed, and what's still in progress ▸ Stay protected: Incogni repeats removal requests as needed if your data reappears Know your risk. Remove your data. Protect what matters. ▸ Your Personal Risk Assessment connects the dots between your exposed data and the threats it creates-so "home address exposed" isn't abstract, it's a physical safety risk you can act on ▸ Every risk level (low, medium, or high) is based on real exposure data, and every finding is paired with what can be done about it Incogni is trusted by privacy experts ▸ Over 600 million removal requests completed to date ▸ Incogni has been reviewed by digital security experts and earned Editors' Choice awards from well-known product reviewers at PCMag, PCWorld, ZDNET and AllAboutCookies. How we protect your data ▸ Incogni uses privacy law frameworks such as GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy laws to compel data brokers to process removal requests for your personal information ▸ It's our business to protect your data, and we take it seriously. Best-in-class cybersecurity practices and two-factor authentication keep your account protected ▸ Databases containing Incogni users' information are protected with AES-256-GCM encryption. Incogni is SOC 2 Type 2 verified. We're available 24/7 via our in-app customer support ▸ https://support.incogni.com/hc/en-us

ZapLock turns any folder in Files into a locked one — and back — without moving it. Pick a folder: On My iPhone, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive. ZapLock encrypts every file in place, keeps the folder's name and location, and leaves nothing readable behind. A folder locked on your Mac opens here; one locked here opens on your Mac. UNLOCK WITH YOUR ZAPQR SIGN-IN Opening a vault is a sign-in, not a password. Face ID and the passkey ZapQR already put on this iPhone, or a magic link if you prefer. Nothing to remember, nothing to send over chat, nothing to leak. FILES OPEN INSIDE ZAPLOCK Tap a file and ZapLock decrypts that one file, shows it, and wipes the copy the moment you lock, switch apps, or the auto-lock timer fires. Leaving the app always locks — the app switcher never sees an open vault. SHARE, AND TAKE IT BACK Share a vault with anyone who has a ZapQR account. Each person unlocks it on their own device, with their own key. Remove them and their access ends, even on a vault they have open. YOUR KEYS STAY YOURS Every file is encrypted with AES-256. The key is split: one half never leaves this device's Secure Enclave, the other is released by ZapQR only while your sign-in and your share are valid. We can't open your folders, and neither can your cloud provider. File contents and file names never leave your device. PORTABLE BY DESIGN The vault format is open and documented, and the same on iPhone, iPad and Mac. A folder on a portable disk or inside a synced cloud folder carries its protection with it. ZapLock requires a free ZapQR account (auth.zapqr.ai). One universal app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. ZapLock Personal is an auto-renewing subscription: $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year (local prices vary). Payment is charged to your Apple Account; it renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Folders you already locked keep opening on every plan. Terms of Use: https://zaplock.io/terms Privacy Policy: https://zapqr.ai/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ZapLock at 5.0 against Incogni's 4.5. ZapLock also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). Incogni's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (844 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Incogni sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month and ZapLock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ZapLock holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Incogni has 844 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Incogni ships an update every 3 weeks, ZapLock every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 14, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
