Aura review

Aura packs more into its entry plan than most rivals. The Individual plan, at $12 per month on annual billing or $15 monthly, already includes 3-bureau credit monitoring with near real-time inquiry alerts, an instant credit lock, home and auto title monitoring and $1M in identity theft insurance. Dark web monitoring covers SSNs, passports, registered online accounts and 401k or investment accounts. On top of the identity tools you get antivirus, a VPN, a password manager and data removal requests to more than 425 data brokers and people search sites. The Family plan is the reason households pick it: 5 adults, unlimited kids and unlimited devices for $32 per month billed annually, with $5M of insurance, child credit freezes and parental controls. The downsides are the jump in price if you pay monthly and the overlap with security software you may already pay for. Restoration is handled by a U.S. based fraud remediation team.
