Instead of Redact
Redact alternatives
Redact is aimed at clearing activity tied to online accounts: it can bulk delete or edit posts, comments, likes, messages, and other content across more than 35 services. Keyword, hashtag, date-range, and content-type filters help narrow a cleanup, and previews let users review items before deletion. The free plan covers recent Twitter/X, Discord, and Facebook content plus Reddit anonymization; paid plans add unlimited deletion, scheduled cleanup, professional platforms, and additional accounts. Apps are available for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Readers may look elsewhere when their priority is personal information on data brokers rather than old account activity. Redact offers broker removal and OSINT scans, but those can involve sending identifying details to third parties; social-platform deletion also cannot remove screenshots or other copies. Cleanup speed and supported content vary by service. Compare alternatives by the sites and regions they cover, whether removal requests are automated, how often they check for relistings, and what proof or reporting they provide. Weigh those needs against Redact’s broader social-service cleanup and paid-plan costs.
