Pros and cons
Pros
- A free plan is included, so the tool can be tried at no cost
- Runs on Windows and macOS as a browser rather than a full VPN
- Support runs through email, chat and help centre
- Backed by a Netherlands entity, WorkingGreen B.V.
Cons
- The free plan limits and absent extras cut down what you can do at no cost
- Plans start at $19.99, above the site median of €6.84
- It is not open source, so the code is not public
Who it suits
- Readers who keep several work and personal accounts apart in separate browser profiles
- Teams that want profile separation without paying for a full network privacy tool
- Anyone wanting a desktop browser to try before committing to a paid plan
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who need a private search engine, since Incogniton is a browser tool
- Readers who need a free tier with no limits, because the free plan carries restrictions
- Buyers who need an open source product, since open source is no
Audits, logging and jurisdiction
Incogniton sits under NL jurisdiction, with its terms drawn up there. Its logging policy is not a no-logs one: it gathers the account data you provide plus automatically collected IP address, browser and device characteristics, OS, language, location and usage data. That data supports security, internal analytics, marketing and targeted advertising, may be shared with third parties for legal obligations, and Do Not Track is not honoured.
The company behind it
The service is run by WorkingGreen B.V., based in the Netherlands and founded in 2019. Support runs through email, chat and help centre, giving you self-serve routes as well as direct contact. No licences or certifications are listed for the service, and it is not open source, so the code itself is not published for review.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Incogniton cost?+
Paid plans start at $19.99, which is above the site median of €6.84 for entry pricing. There is also a free plan, so the tool can be used at no cost. The listing shows a single starting price rather than separate entry and renewal figures, so check the pricing page for current terms.
What does the free plan include?+
The free plan starts with a raised profile allowance for an introductory period, then drops to a much smaller one. It leaves out team management, REST API and Selenium automation, cookie export, the synchroniser, profile transfer and restore of deleted profiles. Those extras sit on the paid side of the pricing.
Is Incogniton a VPN or a private search engine?+
Incogniton is listed as a browser tool, so it manages browser profiles rather than routing traffic or answering searches privately. If you want masked email forwarding or a data removal service, that is a different product category and better matched to the alternatives.
What platforms does it run on?+
Downloads are offered for Windows and macOS. The free plan limits note that some features, such as the synchroniser and profile transfer, are not part of it, so the platform list does not mean every feature is available on the free tier.
Where is the company based and which laws apply?+
The provider is WorkingGreen B.V., headquartered in the Netherlands and founded in 2019. Its terms of service place it under NL jurisdiction, which is the framework to weigh when assessing how the service handles data.
What data does Incogniton collect?+
It collects the account data you provide plus automatically gathered IP address, browser and device characteristics, OS, language, location and usage data. This is used for security, internal analytics, marketing and targeted advertising, may be shared with third parties for legal obligations, and Do Not Track is not honoured.
Is it open source or independently audited?+
Open source is no, so the code is not published for outside review. No licences or certifications are listed for the service either, which is worth weighing if you need verifiable assurance rather than a policy statement.
How do I get help?+
Support runs through email, chat and help centre. That mix means you can use the self-serve help centre and community routes, or reach the team directly by email or chat, depending on how quick you need an answer.
