A DataBlur alternative for $19, once
DataBlur and Privacy Blur both hide private data on web pages before you share your screen, and both work offline. DataBlur detects more data types and has a demo mode; Privacy Blur covers the everyday case — click to blur, remembered per site — for less.

FAQ
Is there a cheaper alternative to DataBlur?
Privacy Blur Pro costs $19 once. Manual blur, unlimited sites and WhatsApp Web mode are free.
What does DataBlur do that Privacy Blur does not?
It detects more data types (cards, IBAN, API keys, passwords), blurs custom keywords and has a demo mode that starts with screen sharing. If you need those, DataBlur is the better pick.
Do they send my page anywhere?
Neither does: both work entirely in your browser.
