The price isn’t unheard of, but it’s got plenty of competition. A few competitors from AlternativeTo:

Service price/year
EasyOptOuts $19.99
Optery $39.00 - 249.00
PrivacyHawk $74.99
Incogni $77.88
OneRep* $99.96
Mozilla $107.88
DeleteMe $129.00
PrivacyBee $197.00

* Mozilla is selling a repackaged version of OneRep, charging more per year but a little less per month

Mozilla also has at least one product in their toolbelt that gives them the ability to resell private data to ad brokers, and it’s managed by the same DPO as other Mozilla products…

Category of data Mozilla sells to…
Browsing history Advertising partners
Search history Advertising partners
Your device’s precise location Advertising partners
Records of personal property, products or services purchased, obtained, or considered Advertising partners
Other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies Advertising partners
Inferences drawn from other personal information to create a profile Advertising partners

I wonder… If you sign up for this service, will Mozilla opt you out of these sales?
