How to Save on IdentityForce
Proven strategies for lowering identity protection subscription costs
Check if you already have it for free, many banks, credit unions, and employers include basic credit monitoring or identity theft protection at no extra charge
Compare to a credit freeze, freezing your credit with all three bureaus is free and blocks new-account fraud more effectively than most monitoring services, monitoring only alerts you after something happens
Watch first-year pricing carefully, several identity protection services (LifeLock especially) roughly double the price on renewal after a low introductory rate
Call before renewal if the price jumps, some providers offer retention discounts of 30-50% for 6-12 months if you call and ask, others (IdentityIQ) do not negotiate and don't refund, so cancel before your renewal date if you're not sure you want to continue
Do I actually need this identity theft protection subscription?
Use this framework to evaluate whether IdentityForce is worth keeping.
You've been notified of a data breach involving your SSN or financial accounts in the past 1-2 years
Keep it, or at minimum keep monitoring active until the exposure window passes. The restoration support and insurance are most valuable exactly when you've had a real exposure.
You have simple finances and no known breach exposure
A free credit freeze with all three bureaus blocks new-account fraud more effectively than monitoring, and costs nothing. Cancel and freeze your credit instead.
Your bank, credit card, or employer already includes credit monitoring
Check what you already have for free before paying twice for the same coverage. Many banks and Fortune 500 employers include this as a standard benefit.
Your price just renewed at roughly double the first-year rate
Call before your next renewal and ask for a retention discount, many providers offer 30-50% off for 6-12 months. If they won't negotiate (some don't), compare against a free credit freeze before paying full price again.
IdentityForce vs Alternatives, Feature Comparison
Identity Theft Protection
| Feature | identityforce | lifelock | aura | identityiq |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry Price | $19.90/mo (UltraSecure, no credit monitoring) | $12.49/mo (intro), renews ~$22.99/mo | $12/mo (about $9/mo billed annually) | $6.99/mo (Secure, single-bureau) |
| Plan Structure | UltraSecure / UltraSecure+Credit, Individual or Family | Standard, Advantage, Ultimate Plus tiers | Individual, Couple, Family (same features) | Secure, Secure Plus, Secure Pro, Secure Max (single tier, no family plan) |
| Identity Theft Insurance | $1M (UltraSecure) or $2M (+Credit tier) | Up to $1M (lawyers/experts) plus stolen funds tiers | Up to $1M per adult | Up to $1M on select plans (provider doesn't specify which tier) |
| Credit Bureau Monitoring | None on base plan; 3-bureau on +Credit tier ($34.90/mo) | 1 to 3 bureaus depending on tier | 3 bureau on most plans | 1 bureau (Secure/Secure Plus) or 3 bureau (Secure Pro/Secure Max) |
| Antivirus and Device Security | Yes, included PC protection software | Yes, via Norton 360 integration | Yes, included antivirus | Not included; Bitdefender add-on for about $2-3/mo extra |
| VPN Included | Yes (mobile only) | Yes (Norton Secure VPN) | Yes | No |
| Renewal Price Jump | None documented, flat pricing year to year | Large, 30 to 50%+ at renewal | Smaller, frequent promos lower it | None documented, but no refunds on any plan regardless |
| Money Back Guarantee | 30-day trial, base UltraSecure plans only | 60 day on annual (terms apply) | 60 day on annual (web/phone, not app stores) | None, no free trial or refunds under any circumstances |
Verdict: LifeLock has the strongest brand and Norton security integration, but its renewal price spikes hard. Aura matches the protection with simpler, flatter pricing and frequent discounts. IdentityForce is the only one that bundles a VPN and device security at every tier without LifeLock's renewal cliff, but costs more than IdentityIQ for equivalent credit monitoring. IdentityIQ is the cheapest entry point for basic monitoring but skips antivirus/VPN entirely and refunds nothing, so only commit monthly until you're sure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is IdentityForce worth $[price]/month?
IdentityForce is worth it if you want dark web monitoring and identity theft insurance without paying for full credit monitoring, the base UltraSecure plan skips 3-bureau credit reports (that's the +Credit tier at $34.90/mo). If you already have free credit monitoring through your bank or credit card, the base plan may be redundant.
How can I lower my IdentityForce costs?
Switch to annual billing (about 2 months free vs monthly), stick with the base UltraSecure tier unless you specifically need 3-bureau credit reports, and use the 30-day trial period to confirm you'll actually use it before the first charge.
What are alternatives to IdentityForce?
A free credit freeze with all three bureaus blocks new-account fraud at no cost. LifeLock, Aura, and IdentityIQ offer similar monitoring at various price points, compare insurance limits and whether credit monitoring is included before switching.
How do I cancel IdentityForce?
Cancel online through your dashboard's 'Protection Plan' tab, or call Member Services at 877-694-3367. Cancellation takes effect immediately and any unused portion of your payment is refunded pro-rated, no retention offer to decline.
