Before you subscribe
Free-plan availability
No ongoing free plan was verified; listed plans are paid.
Kanary's official FAQ says it does not offer a free tier. The site documents a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is a refund policy rather than a permanent free plan or verified free trial. The official pages mention mobile app access, but do not name Android or iOS, so mobile OS support is not recorded.

Things to consider
Core coverage is limited to a subset of top sites and is available only to U.S. residents; broader coverage requires Advanced.
Kanary cannot directly delete data from third-party websites, so removal timing depends on those sites and some requests may take 90 days or more.
