CrabClear vs Perkoon

Unmatched 1,500+ Broker Coverage

CrabClear doesn't just skim the surface. While typical services target around 420 major sites, we automate removal requests across a vast network of over 1,500 data brokers and people search sites worldwide. This 4x greater coverage ensures your data is purged from the obscure sources that fuel the most dangerous threats, not just the obvious ones.

Continuous, Automated Removal Engine

Privacy isn't a one-time fix. Our system operates on a continuous, set-and-forget cycle. From the moment you sign up, we automatically scan for your data, send removal requests, and verify the results. This relentless automation ensures new or reposted information is caught and removed, providing ongoing protection without requiring your constant attention.

EU-Based, GDPR-Compliant Processing

Your privacy service shouldn't compromise your privacy. All CrabClear data is processed exclusively within the European Union. This critical design means our operations are inherently safe from US surveillance mandates and are built from the ground up to be fully GDPR-compliant, offering a legally robust foundation for your data rights.

Real-Time Transparency Dashboard

Move from blind trust to verified control. Our real-time dashboard provides clear, trackable insights into your privacy journey. See exactly how many data sources have been identified, how many removal requests are in progress, and what has been successfully cleared, turning the invisible process of data removal into a visible, actionable metric.

Unlimited Free P2P Transfer

This is the core of Perkoon. When both sender and recipient are online, files stream directly from one browser to another using peer-to-peer technology. This means there are absolutely no file size limits, no mandatory sign-ups, and because the data bypasses central servers entirely, it's private by design and costs Perkoon nothing to operate. It's free for you, forever, with no hidden catches.

Encrypted Cloud Storage for Offline Sends

Need to send a file to someone who isn't online right now? Perkoon's cloud storage feature has you covered. Files are securely encrypted on Perkoon's servers and held until the recipient is ready to download. This is the service's paid feature, and the pricing is transparently structured to honestly cover the cost of running and maintaining this infrastructure—no profit markup on privacy.

Native AI & Automation Integration

Perkoon is built for the age of automation. Instead of forcing AI agents to awkwardly scrape web pages, Perkoon provides a native JavaScript object (window.__perkoon) and a Command Line Interface (CLI) tool. This allows scripts, bots, and AI assistants to interact with the file transfer service directly and programmatically, enabling seamless automated workflows without friction.

Transparent Referral & Rewards Program

Perkoon incentivizes growth in a mutually beneficial way. Share your unique referral link; when someone signs up through it, you both get a bonus boost of cloud storage. When they complete 1GB of P2P transfers, you both earn even more. The program includes chain rewards, meaning you can earn bonuses from your referrals' referrals, building a network that continuously rewards active users.

Ending Relentless Spam and Robocalls

Stop the daily interruptions. Marketers and scammers buy your contact details from data brokers, leading to a flood of spam calls, texts, and junk mail. CrabClear systematically removes your phone number, email, and address from these sources, drastically reducing unwanted communications and reclaiming your peace.

Shielding Against Identity Theft and Scams

Cybercriminals use broker-sold data to craft targeted attacks. By erasing your personal details—like past addresses, family names, and phone numbers—from the digital underground, CrabClear starves scammers of the fuel they need for phishing, impersonation, and identity theft, building a powerful barrier against financial fraud.

Preventing Financial and Insurance Discrimination

Protect your wallet from hidden profiling. Specialized brokers sell your health searches, credit data, and background info to insurers and lenders, who may raise your rates or deny applications. CrabClear finds and removes these sensitive financial profiles, helping ensure you're judged fairly, not by your sold data.

Safeguarding Physical Safety and Personal Privacy

Regain control over who can find you. People search sites expose your home address, workplace, and family connections to anyone. CrabClear aggressively opts you out of these directories, mitigating risks of stalking, doxxing, swatting, and physical harm by making your personal life significantly harder to trace.

Sending Large Project Files to Clients

Freelancers, designers, and videographers can instantly send massive project files—think 50GB video edits or design suites—directly to a client's browser. No compressing, splitting, or begging clients to sign up for a service. It's a frictionless, professional transfer that respects both parties' time and data.

Automated Backup & Data Pipeline Scripts

Developers and sysadmins can integrate Perkoon's CLI into their scripts. Automate the transfer of log files, database dumps, or backup archives from a server to a designated recipient or storage node. The native API access means reliable, programmatic file movement without building custom infrastructure.

Privacy-Conscious Document Sharing

Lawyers, journalists, or anyone handling sensitive information can share documents with the assurance of true P2P privacy. Since files in a direct transfer never pass through a third-party server, there's zero risk of corporate scanning, data mining, or unauthorized access by the service provider itself.

AI Agent File Management

An AI assistant managing your workflow can use Perkoon's built-in window.__perkoon object to send you generated reports, receive documents for processing, or distribute outputs to a team. This turns Perkoon into a seamless file highway for autonomous agents, supercharging productivity without manual intervention.

CrabClear is the definitive, automated data deletion service engineered for individuals in the EU and US who demand real, actionable privacy, not just empty promises. In today's digital economy, your personal information—from contact details and finances to search history and family connections—is a high-value commodity traded by a shadowy network of over 1,500 data brokers. Standard removal services that target only a few hundred sites leave you dangerously exposed. CrabClear delivers comprehensive, continuous protection by automating the entire removal process across this vast global network, offering 4x more coverage than typical competitors. Built by privacy advocates, our service operates with a critical architectural advantage: all data is processed exclusively within the EU, ensuring operations are safe from US surveillance mandates and are fully GDPR-compliant. We replace anxiety with action through a simple, set-and-forget system. You sign up, and we immediately begin the relentless cycle of scanning, requesting removals, and verifying results, all trackable via a real-time dashboard. The outcome is tangible control: drastically reduced spam calls, less junk mail, and a fortified defense against scams, stalking, financial discrimination, and identity theft. CrabClear makes robust, ongoing privacy protection honest, affordable, and accessible.

Perkoon is the file transfer service that cuts through the corporate nonsense to deliver what you actually need: a fast, private, and refreshingly honest way to move your data. Built for real people tired of artificial limits, mandatory accounts, and services that monetize their privacy, Perkoon gets back to basics with two powerful modes. Its flagship offering is unlimited, free P2P transfer that beams files directly between browsers with no size caps and no middleman—your data never touches Perkoon's servers, ensuring true privacy and keeping the service free forever. For sending to offline recipients, Perkoon offers encrypted cloud storage as a straightforward paid feature, transparently covering the real cost of servers. Uniquely designed for the modern workflow, Perkoon is built for both humans and AI, featuring native automation tools and a CLI so machines can interact directly without clunky workarounds. It's the no-BS, efficiency-first solution for anyone who just wants their files to go from point A to point B without the hassle, hidden fees, or privacy violations.

How is CrabClear different from other data removal services?

Most services only target around 420 well-known people search sites, leaving you exposed to a much larger network. CrabClear automates removal from over 1,500 data brokers globally—that's 4x more coverage. Furthermore, we are EU-based and GDPR-compliant by design, and we provide continuous, automated removal with full transparency, not a one-time cleanup.

What does the continuous, automated process involve?

Once you sign up, our system immediately begins a perpetual cycle. It continuously scans the broker network for your data, automatically sends removal requests when found, and verifies the deletions. We also monitor for new brokers and re-posted data. You can track every step in your dashboard, and we send alerts for key events like breach discoveries or removal confirmations.

Is my data safe with CrabClear?

Absolutely. We are built by privacy advocates, and our entire operational model is designed to protect you. All personal data you provide is processed and stored exclusively on servers within the European Union. This means we operate under strict GDPR regulations and are inherently safe from US surveillance laws like the CLOUD Act.

What kind of results can I expect, and how soon?

Many users report a noticeable drop in spam calls and junk mail within the first few weeks as removals from marketing-focused brokers take effect. The full process of removing your data from 1,500+ sources is ongoing, as brokers constantly update. Your dashboard will show real-time progress, and our continuous system ensures new exposures are tackled as they appear.

Is the P2P transfer really free forever?

Yes, absolutely. The peer-to-peer transfer technology sends files directly between browsers. This process costs Perkoon essentially nothing in server bandwidth or storage overhead. Therefore, they can offer it as a free service indefinitely, with no file size limits. The business model is sustained by the optional paid cloud storage feature.

What happens if the recipient is offline?

If the recipient is not online to receive a direct P2P transfer, Perkoon will seamlessly offer to use its encrypted cloud storage instead. This is a paid feature. The file is uploaded, encrypted on Perkoon's servers, and a link is generated. The recipient can then download the file at their convenience, with the link expiring after a set period.

Can Perkoon see what I'm sending in a P2P transfer?

No. In a direct P2P transfer, the file data streams exclusively between the two users' browsers using WebRTC technology. Perkoon's servers only facilitate the initial connection ("signaling") but never handle the actual file data. They are technically incapable of seeing, scanning, or storing the content of your transfer.

Which browsers are supported?

For the full, unlimited P2P experience, Chromium-based browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Brave work perfectly. Firefox and Safari have inherent browser restrictions that can limit transfer speeds or maximum file sizes for P2P connections. All major browsers support the cloud storage send and download functionality.

CrabClear is a premium data deletion service in the privacy protection category. It automates the removal of your personal information from a vast network of over 1500 data brokers, far exceeding the coverage of standard services. This continuous, set-and-forget approach is designed for individuals seeking comprehensive, hands-off privacy management. Users explore alternatives for various reasons. Budget constraints are a common driver, as ongoing subscription costs can be a factor. Others might prioritize specific features, like a particular user interface, integration with other security tools, or a different geographic focus for data processing. Platform compatibility, such as mobile app availability, also influences the search. When evaluating any alternative, key criteria should guide your decision. First, scrutinize the actual scope of broker coverage—many services target only a fraction of the market. Second, investigate the company's data handling practices and jurisdictional security, as this dictates your information's safety. Finally, assess the automation level; effective privacy requires persistent, not one-off, action.

Perkoon is a straightforward, privacy-focused file transfer service in the productivity and management category. It cuts through the clutter by offering unlimited peer-to-peer transfers without signups, a model that prioritizes user control and data privacy. Users often seek alternatives for various reasons. Some need different pricing structures or specific features like advanced collaboration tools. Others may require broader platform compatibility or simply prefer a service with a more traditional cloud-first approach over Perkoon's peer-to-peer core. When evaluating options, consider your primary needs. Key factors include transfer methods, privacy guarantees, cost structure, and ease of use. Determine if you value direct device-to-device transfers or always-available cloud storage, and whether automation capabilities or sheer simplicity are your top priority.
