PrivacyFixed shows you exactly who is watching when you visit a website β€” and explains it in language you can actually use. Paste any web address. In about thirty seconds you get a full report: every tracking company on the page, what each one collects, where the data goes, and how the site scores overall. No account. No payment. Nothing to install first. WHAT A SCAN FINDS β€’ Tracking companies β€” named, not counted. You see Google, Meta, Criteo and the rest, with what each collects. β€’ Cookies β€” including first-party cookies used for tracking, which most tools miss because they only look at third parties. β€’ Fingerprinting β€” the techniques that identify your browser without any cookie at all. β€’ Hidden trackers β€” trackers disguised as part of the site's own domain, a technique specifically designed to slip past blocklists. β€’ Consent banners β€” whether the site actually respects a refusal, or fires trackers before you answer. EVERY FINDING IS LABELLED Each statement in a report is marked Confirmed, Documented, or Inferred. Confirmed means we watched it happen. Documented means a published source says so. Inferred means it matches a known pattern. You always know which one you are reading, and the report tells you when a check could not be completed rather than quietly leaving it out. BLOCK TRACKERS IN SAFARI Turn on the Safari content blocker and known tracker domains stop loading while you browse. It runs entirely on your device. We never see, log, or route your browsing. This covers Safari. It does not cover other apps or other browsers β€” iOS does not offer that to any app without a VPN, and we would rather tell you the limit than imply we cover more than we do. PRIVACY, ACTUALLY β€’ No third-party analytics anywhere in this app. None. β€’ No advertising identifier, no ad networks, no data sold or shared. β€’ No App Tracking Transparency prompt, because there is nothing to ask you for. β€’ Scanning works without an account. Signing in only adds saved history and your plan. β€’ Scan any site you like β€” including ours. We would encourage it. FREE AND PAID Scanning is free, three scans a day, no account required. Paid plans add unlimited scans, saved history, continuous monitoring and scheduled re-scans. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store subscription settings. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict

The call

Guard and PrivacyFixed are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters β€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them β€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
